Residential Self-Selection. The Effect of Travel-Related Attitudes and Lifestyle Orientation on Residential Location Choice; Evidence from the Netherlands

This paper describes how researchers have found evidence that supports a link between land use and daily travel behavior in recent decades. However, it is conceivable that people do not always align their travel behavior with possibilities and constraints of a location; indeed they may self-select through residential choice to a spatial structure that fits in with their attitudes towards travel behavior. The multiple regression models that are presented in this paper indicate that including travel-related preferences and attitudes, residential choice and lifestyle orientation will contribute to the analyses of the influence of land use on travel behavior.
