This paper aims to investigate the perceptions of neighborhood conditions and their effect on urban active transportation (UAT) in the context of a city in the Global South. We analyze data from a survey of commuters in the city of Rajshahi, Bangladesh. Concretely, we are interested in cycling and walking. A probabilistic model of mode use is estimated using disaggregate data collected in Rajshahi through a face-to-face survey in 2017. The study reveals that similar to other regions in the world, students are more likely to use active transportation compared to other socio-demographic groups, and that motorized vehicle ownership is associated with lower probabilities of active transportation. Furthermore, the probabilities of choosing active modes at different neighborhood-level conditions were calculated based on the derived model for both students and non-students by residential and non-residential land-use types. In addition to the duration of the trip, the perceived neighborhood-level characteristics are critical for active transportation. Improving neighborhood conditions and their perception by the public can enhance the attractiveness of active travel, more specifically cycling for longer commutes. Based on the study findings, the paper discusses strategies to promote the use of active transportation in the context of a country in the Global South.

本文旨在研究全球南方某城市背景下邻里条件的感知及其对城市主动交通（UAT）的影响。我们分析了孟加拉国拉杰沙希市的通勤者调查数据。具体而言，我们对骑自行车和步行感兴趣。根据2017年通过拉吉沙希（Rajshahi）进行的面对面调查收集的分类数据，估算了模式使用的概率模型。研究表明，与世界其他地区相似，与其他社会阶层相比，学生更可能使用主动交通人口群体，而机动车拥有权与主动运输的概率较低相关。此外，根据得出的居住和非居住土地利用类型的学生和非学生模型，计算了在不同邻里级别条件下选择活动模式的可能性。除了旅行的持续时间外，感知的邻里级特征对于主动交通也很关键。改善居民区条件及其对公众的感知可以增强主动出行的吸引力，尤其是骑自行车出行较长时间的通勤。基于研究结果，本文讨论了在全球南方一个国家的背景下促进主动交通使用的策略。感知的邻里级特征对于主动交通至关重要。改善邻里条件及其在公众中的认知度可以提高主动出行的吸引力，尤其是对于长途通勤骑自行车。基于研究结果，本文讨论了在全球南方一个国家的背景下促进主动交通使用的策略。感知的邻里级特征对于主动交通至关重要。改善邻里条件及其在公众中的认知度可以提高主动出行的吸引力，尤其是对于长途通勤骑自行车。基于研究结果，本文讨论了在全球南方一个国家的背景下促进主动交通使用的策略。
