Research on Relationship of Catchment Area, MTR Riding Intent and Walking Distance in Hong Kong
Yin Ziyuan
Abstract：Catchment area is one of crucial issues in research of transit system and urban space. Based on survey of MTR commuting travel rate in Hong Kong, this research employed exponent distance decay model to analyze on how distance impact on metro riding intent. Based on surveys of MTR commuting rate from 725 residential buildings, the ranges of thresholds can be concluded where distance impacting on riding intent intensively through comparative study of the measuring of decay coefficient, whereby the catchment area of metro station can be defined quantitatively by factors as detour rate and walking distance.
