SBR-9529780 Kwan, Mei-Po Ohio State U. While much research has found differences in the direction and length of the journey to work of men versus women, relatively few of these studies have made explicit, empirically based, causal connection to the other travel activities of women, to the entirety of the time- and space- constraints of the women, or to differences among women of different ethnic groups. This Research Planning Grant will support the specification of a multi-city research design for a survey-based study to investigate these contexts and differences. The research design will include household surveys, data tracking and manipulation using a geographic information system, and data analysis using two large, structural-equation models. Through this award, a pilot survey will be conducted in metropolitan Columbus, Ohio. The theoretical utility of this research should be in the conceptual and empirical connection of women's travel patterns to household context, distance perception, and ethnicity. The practical utility lies in the potential for improving traffic forecasting and transport-demand-management models, used for any kind of infrastructural planning or pollution-control scenarios.

SBR-9529780 Kwan，Mei-Po 俄亥俄州立大学。虽然许多研究发现男性与女性在工作旅程的方向和长度方面存在差异，但这些研究中相对较少的研究表明与其他研究之间存在明确的、基于经验的因果关系女性的出行活动，受女性整体时间、空间的限制，或者受不同民族女性差异的影响。 该研究规划补助金将支持多城市研究设计的规范，以进行基于调查的研究，以调查这些背景和差异。 研究设计将包括家庭调查、使用地理信息系统进行数据跟踪和操作，以及使用两个大型结构方程模型进行数据分析。 通过该奖项，将在俄亥俄州哥伦布市进行试点调查。 这项研究的理论效用应该体现在女性出行模式与家庭背景、距离感知和种族的概念和实证联系上。 实际用途在于改进交通预测和交通需求管理模型的潜力，可用于任何类型的基础设施规划或污染控制场景。
