| Abstract | This paper examines the relationship between accessibility and individual travel in Hong Kong. Accessibility is analysed as transport-related and location-related parameters. Expanded individual travel data of commuting (n=2,116,340) and recreational trips (n=169,964) from the Travel Characteristics Survey (TCS) 2011 were extracted. Preliminary data analysis shows that road network density and density of opportunities in the neighbourhood were negatively correlated to travel distance (ATT) and travel time (ATD) in commuting trips, both full-time and part-time workers, but not recreational journeys. Further, new town residents experienced longer ATT and ATD in both commuting and recreational trips, indicating low levels of self-containment for these two types of activities. This study also suggests increasing the density of work opportunities in suburbs as a potential strategy to improve work accessibility and reduce commuting travel. |
