in the SEM concerned “I would exercise by walking and bicycling,” “the streets would be noisier than where I live now,” and “I would have less living space in my home and lot.”
Both normative beliefs were significantly associated with SN. These included “my family thinks that I should move to a CN” and “other people who are important to me think
that I should move to a CN.” Both regression analysis and SEM indicated the importance of family members and other people.
Likewise, regression analyses found that the four hypothe- sized control beliefs were significantly associated with SCF. The most important of these was the belief that one “could find an affordable home in a compact neighborhood.” Also
significant and positively associated with SCF were the beliefs that one could get by with “fewer household cars in the com- ing year” and “less living space in the coming year.” A nega- tively associated belief was that one “would lose touch with current friends.” SEM found all of these factors significant, except for the one relating to “less living space.”
While all of the hypothesized relationships were significant in regression models, there was much variance unexplained in ATT, SN, and SCF. More research will be needed to un- cover other contributors to these three constructs. In partic-
ular, self-confidenceneeds much more exploration to under- stand which characteristics would allow more individuals to feel that they could move to a CN. Also, the fit of the struc- tural equation model of the complete TPB was not satisfac- tory, as judged by fit statistics. This research left out many is- sues of importance in neighborhood choice, such as concern about crime and safety and quality of schools. However, the findings in this chapter and others indicate that the TPB ap- pears promising enough to merit further research in the area of residential choice.
This chapter discusses the overall results of the Phase 2 sur- vey, which had the following research objectives:
• Explore methods for encouraging more walking and tran- sit use.
• Explore the TPB as an approach to understanding how in- dividuals make travel and location decisions. In particular, explore TPB in the context of a decision to move to a CN and to use environmentally friendly modes, such as walk- ing and transit.
• Examine the power of the TPB to distinguish these market sectors and provide insight into motivating factors. This chapter provides overall results for the Phase 2 Inter- net survey. Appendix B provides a copy of the survey ques- tionnaire. For those readers curious about the detailed results of the TPB-related responses in the survey, the SPSS files of responses for all of the Internet panel surveys are included in Appendix C.
This chapter is broken into six sections, as follows: • Background information on respondents
• TPB questions regarding the respondents’ willingness to walk and use transit more
• Follow-up questions about neighborhood preferences – Direct TPB questions about a CN
– The value of alternative transportation services in pro- moting alternative transportation use in a CN
• Messages about transit: saving money and improving the environment and health
• Alternative services
– Services the respondent has available – Ranking the services
– Respondents’ willingness to use alternative transporta- tion services
• Follow-up TPB analysis
– Comparison between the first TPB (willingness to walk and use transit more) and the second TPB (willingness to use alternative transportation services)
