Nature and Health

TL;DR: This work focuses on nature as represented by aspects of the physical environment relevant to planning, design, and policy measures that serve broad segments of urbanized societies and considers research on pathways between nature and health involving air quality, physical activity, social cohesion, and stress reduction.

Bicycling renaissance in North America? An update and re-appraisal of cycling trends and policies

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed trends in cycling levels, safety, and policies in Canada and the USA over the past two decades, analyzing aggregate data for the two countries as well as city-specific case study data for nine large cities (Chicago, Minneapolis, Montreal, New York, Portland, San Francisco, Toronto, Vancouver, and Washington).

Bike Share: A Synthesis of the Literature

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of bike share programs, followed by a critical examination of the growing body of literature on these programs, including a synthesis of previous works, both peer-reviewed and gray, including an identification of the current gaps in knowledge related to the impacts of bike sharing programs.

Cycling to work in 90 large American cities: new evidence on the role of bike paths and lanes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the influence of bike paths and lanes on bicycle commuting in the USA and found that cities with a greater supply of bike lanes and paths have significantly higher bike commute rates.

The theory of planned behavior

TL;DR: Ajzen, 1985, 1987, this article reviewed the theory of planned behavior and some unresolved issues and concluded that the theory is well supported by empirical evidence and that intention to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior.

Environmental correlates of walking and cycling: Findings from the transportation, urban design, and planning literatures

TL;DR: In this article, neighborhood environment characteristics proposed to be relevant to walking/cycling for transport are defined, including population density, connectivity, and land use mix, with evidence suggesting that residents from communities with higher density, greater connectivity and more land-use mix report higher rates of walking and cycling for utilitarian purposes than low-density, poorly connected, and single land use neighborhoods.

Travel and the built environment: a synthesis

TL;DR: Elasticities of travel demand with respect to density, diversity, design, and regional accessibility are derived from selected studies and may be useful in travel forecasting and sketch planning and have already been incorporated into one sketch planning tool, the Environmental Protection Agency’s Smart Growth Index model.

Making Cycling Irresistible: Lessons from The Netherlands, Denmark and Germany

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany have made bicycling a safe, convenient, and practical way to get around their cities, relying on national aggregate data as well as case studies of large and small cities in each country.

Choice of Travel Mode in the Theory of Planned Behavior: The Roles of Past Behavior, Habit, and Reasoned Action

TL;DR: In this paper, a longitudinal study investigated the effects of an intervention-introduction of a prepaid bus ticket-on increased bus use among college students, and the logic of the proposition that past behavior is the best predictor of later behavior was examined.
