摘要
To analyze the car ownership behaviors, a gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) method is employed to explore the effect sizes of residential and workplace built environments on car-ownership decisions. The empirical analysis is conducted based on the Changchun household travel survey data. The results show that the socio-economic factors contribute 58.95% to automobile ownership collectively and rank the first among the three categories of factors. The residential and workplace built environment variables are both associated with car ownership. And the residential built environment is more influential than the workplace built environment. Except for intersection density at residential locations, distance to the central business district(CBD), and bus stop density at workplace locations, all built environment variables have relative importance more than 5%. Therefore, it is of great importance for urban planners and policy makers to optimize the urban built environment to mitigate the increase of car ownership. Copyright © 2020 by Science Press.
