Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Continued population growth and urban growth is associated with ever-increasing demands on transport systems. Meanwhile, in recent decades, automobile ownership has also dramatically increased in many Low- and middle-income countries. As a result, increases in air pollution, noise and the risk of road traffic crashes, in addition to the resultant declines in physical activity, combine to impact physical and mental health. 

There is a rich body of literature surrounding transportation, urban planning, public health and land use, and the intersections between these factors. The connections between transportation, land use and health are time- and location-specific, as a result of distinct economic development levels, the environment, policies, regulations, and cultures. There is no clear guarantee that research frameworks and policy instruments can be applied appropriately to different countries. 

Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to attract studies that address a broad range of topics related to the associations between transport, land use and health. We therefore welcome all articles, systematic reviews, and other original productions that address some of the core research topics related to this area, including but not limited to: travel behavior; interactive components; heterogeneous effects of transport and land use (built environment) on health; built environment; travel behavior and traffic crashes; transport-related pollution and health; transport and infectious diseases, particularly COVID-19, and review studies.

The accessibility of rail transit station areas is an important factor affecting the efficiency of rail transit. Taking the Beijing rail transit station area as our research object, this paper took a 15 min walking distance as the index of station area accessibility, and investigated the status quo and influencing factors of the unbalanced distribution of rail transit station area accessibility in Beijing. In this paper, the data of Beijing rail transit stations were obtained from the Amap open platform, and the accessibility of the station area was calculated using the path planning service provided by the Amap API. The Getis–Ord Gi* method was used to analyze the overall distribution characteristics of the accessibility of the Beijing rail transit station area, then the high accessibility area and the low accessibility area were determined. To explore the factors influencing domain accessibility, multi-source data were obtained, a total of 11 indicators were constructed, and the random forest model was used to identify feature importance. Using the eight selected influencing factors, the OLS regression model, GWR model, and MGWR model were used to study the spatial heterogeneity of influencing factors. By comparison, it was concluded that the MGWR model can not only effectively analyze the spatial heterogeneity of rail transit station accessibility, which can automatically mediate the bandwidth of different influencing factors, and then reflect the spatial changes of the influencing factors of rail transit station accessibility more truly. The results show that (1) the accessibility of the Beijing rail transit station area shows obvious spatial agglomeration characteristics in space. The accessibility of the station area in the fourth ring is higher than that outside of the fourth ring road, and the accessibility near the south and north fifth ring road is higher than that of the east fifth ring road and the west fifth ring road. (2) The basic influencing factors of rail transit station accessibility include road density and functional mixing degree. Full article

With the acceleration of global urbanization, the interaction between the urban built environment and transportation carbon emissions (TCE) has become an urgent problem and an area of intensive research. This paper presents a bibliometric and visual analysis of 1060 pieces of literature related to the built environment and TCE from 1998 to 2022. It explores the current research progress and future development trends in this field. The results show the following. (1) The number of papers published on the built environment and TCE during this period has shown a continuous increasing trend, and the periods of growth can be divided into three stages. (2) Research in this area has been carried out in many countries and regions around the world, involving different dimensions such as examinations at the city, provincial, and national levels. (3) Through an analysis involving keyword clustering, a keyword hotspot map, and a burst map, we have established that the research on TCE has exhibited step-by-step growth, and the carbon emissions from vehicles is the topic that has been considered over the longest period. (4) The impact of the built environment on TCE can be broadly divided into macro-functional and micromorphological factors. Full article
