本研究分析了个人能力与孟买旅行时间之间的关联。我们通过区分旅行的生产（例如通勤）方面和消费（例如休闲）方面来制定概念假设。我们认为，能力较差的人可能会更多地关注生产方面，而能力较高的人可能会更多地关注消费方面。引入两个可操作的假设进行实证验证：（1）出行时间与个人能力显着相关，能力较差的人出行时间较短；（2）出行时间的方差表示运动的自由度，与个人能力呈正相关。为了从实证上证实这些假设，在印度孟买的中等收入群体住房、贫民窟和贫民窟修复单位中进行了一项活动-旅行调查。我们的结果支持这两个假设，表明当人们能力较差时，他们会更加重视旅行的生产方面，但随着能力的提高，消费方面变得更加重要。根据我们的研究结果，我们讨论了发展背景下交通评估的实际影响。
This study analyzes the association between individual capabilities and travel time in Mumbai. We formulate a conceptual hypothesis by differentiating the production (e.g., commuting) aspects from the consumption (e.g., leisure) aspects of travel. We argue that less capable people may focus more on the production aspects, whereas more capable people may focus more on the consumption aspects. Two operationalized hypotheses are introduced for empirical verification: (1) travel time is significantly related to individual capability and is shorter for less capable people, and (2) the variance of travel time, indicating the degree of freedom of movement, has a positive association with individual capability. To confirm the hypotheses empirically, an activity–travel survey was conducted in middle-income group housing, slums, and slum rehabilitation units in Mumbai, India. Our results support both hypotheses, suggesting that, when people are less capable, they attach more importance to the production aspects of travel, but as capability increases, the consumption aspects become more vital. Based on our findings, we discuss practical implications for transport appraisal in the development context.
