Abstract

The City of Edmonton in Canada conducted a stated preference survey where over 1,200 respondents were asked to consider tradeoffs involving a wide range of elements of urban form and transportation, including mobility, air quality, traffic noise, treatment of neighbourhood streets, development densities and funding sources such as taxes. Respondents were to imagine moving to a new home location and to indicate preferences among hypothetical alternatives for this new location, with these alternatives described in terms of attributes related to the elements of interest. The observations of choice behaviour thus obtained were then used to estimate choice model parameters indicating the sensitivities to these attributes. As such, these parameter estimates provide indications of the relative importance of the corresponding elements and they also provide insights into the influences of the specific home location attributes considered. It is these insights into the influences of home location attributes that is of particular interest in this book presenting a collection of modelling treatments of household behaviour.
