How Does the Built Environment in Urban Villages Affecting Ride-Sourcing Commuting Trips Interacting with the Spatial Dependence Effect

Urban renewal provides opportunities to improve urban transport structures during the process of improving built environments. It is necessary to clarify the impact of different elements of the built environment on travel behaviors in the context of urban village renewal. This paper presents a microscopic perspective of individual travel behavior by proposing analytical frameworks to investigate travel behavior in terms of DiDi commuting trips. Considering the effect of spatial dependence, a Spatial Durbin Error Model was established, incorporating a spatial lag and spatial error. Traveling information was employed from the ride-sourcing company DiDi during the morning and evening peaks within in the urban village areas and workplaces of Shenzhen, and the variables of a built environment were scaled within travel analysis zones (TAZs). The results show that the impacts of the built environment on ride-sourced commuting were different between job and housing locations, with more influential factors in residential locations (urban villages). On the other hand, working locations had an influential magnitude more than twice that of residential locations. Alongside that, due to the spillover effect, it was more effective to hinder ride-sourced commuting and promote green traveling modes by increasing the number of bus stops. The findings provide some insights into transit-oriented urban renewal. Therefore, when transforming urban villages, an emphasis should be placed on the enhancement of transit availability, and the mixed land use could be considered last due to limited time and funds.
