Summary: This study examines urban mobility styles and identifies a group called the Environmentally Oriented Multimodals. This group has the potential to accept and use sustainable mobility, but not all members are sustainable in their mobility choices. Additionally, it was found that transitioning between life stages within this group may be associated with acquiring a car.

Summary: This study explores how customer segments are characterized by leisure and mobility orientations among Swiss rail customers. Through surveys and analysis, five railway customer segments were identified, each with distinct leisure orientations and attitudes towards rail usage in leisure and tourist trips, providing transport companies with valuable insights for market-oriented offerings.

Summary: Cities are characterized by a dense population and high interactions among individuals from diverse backgrounds, originating parallel to the Neolithic revolution millennia ago. Their advantages in terms of economy, innovation, social and cultural progress have made them a major landmark in recent human history. From a scientific perspective, studying urban systems involves various aspects such as demography, mobility, economic output, land use, urban planning, housing accessibility, energy and water consumption, waste processing, health, education, and integration of minorities.

Summary: Traditional behavioral models fail to provide adequate explanations for joint travel decisions, especially those related to social activities. This is due to a lack of empirical data and the challenges of collecting such data. To address this issue, we propose a novel survey methodology called Text-aided Group Decision-making Process Observation Method (x-GDP), which collects data on joint activities from all members of a given clique. This method allows us to observe both the outcome and the process of decision-making in a quasi-naturalistic manner.

Summary: Scholars often neglect the perspective of leisure gambling and instead focus on compulsive gambling behaviors. This study aims to explore leisure gambling in an economic sociological context by examining stratification across gambling activities and society, the importance of social capital, and the role of diverse networks. Using data from the 2007-2008 Taking Part Survey, the researchers used latent class analysis to identify different typologies of leisure gamblers and found that social capital and network diversity are crucial in shaping leisure gambling consumption. Generally, leisure gambling relies on higher levels of social capital and diverse networks.

Summary: Individuals engage in both solo and joint activities as part of their overall activity-travel patterns. Social and leisure activities, compared to work and maintenance activities, are more flexible in terms of time and space. This study demonstrates that incorporating group-level impedance measures can improve the performance of travel behavior models, with group average travel time being the best performing measure.

Summary: Leisure travel within the European Union has a significant impact on the global tourism carbon footprint. This study examines the role of tourists' holiday preferences in shaping this impact and finds that visiting relatives, nature tourism, and sea, sun, and sand tourism contribute equally to the carbon footprint, but the latter has a higher carbon intensity per trip. Additionally, international travel within the EU is more carbon intensive than domestic travel. These insights suggest that leveraging tourists' holiday preferences can contribute to the sustainable development of leisure travel within the EU.

Summary: Temporary transnational relocation is a growing type of migration, but the adaptation of highly skilled temporary residents and its urban impacts have been largely overlooked. This study found that temporary residents tend to rely on public transport and non-motorized modes, with a low likelihood of purchasing vehicles. Improving and facilitating the use of active modes can have an immediate effect on this group's travel behavior and contribute to reaching critical mass for sustainable alternatives.

Summary: Urban structure profoundly affects the livability and sustainability of cities. However, there is still a gap in understanding urban travel networks and spatial structures from a multi-activity perspective. This study used data fusion to infer the daily activities of over four million Beijing residents and constructed eight urban travel networks (UTNs) to explore their structural similarities and disparities. The results revealed significant spatial heterogeneity, hierarchy, and dependency characteristics within all UTNs in Beijing. The spatial patterns of UTNs reflected a hybrid pattern of polycentric and sector patterns in Beijing's current urban structure. This study provides valuable scientific insights into urban spatial governance and the configuration of public facilities in Beijing.

Summary: The study found that sufficient UAM demand for commuting trips can only be achieved with optimistically low fares in Northern California. Commuting flows with promising UAM demand in the region are heavily one-directional, with San Francisco Financial District being a major attraction.

Summary: Urban residents show a higher demand for long-distance travel, especially for leisure travel, despite their preference for environmentally friendly means of transport in everyday travel. Research identifies four different leisure travel types among urbanites, showing distinct differences in sociodemographic and psychographic characteristics as well as mode choice.
