This study examines how various travel/built environmental and individual/household characteristics influence the walking durations of males and females in the city of Rasht, Iran, using data from the 2007 Rasht Household Travel Survey (RHTS). Accelerated hazard (AH) modelling, as a new approach in walking-related studies, was used to predict walking durations. The survival curve analysis showed that the ideal walking time was five minutes, but walking up to ten minutes was also acceptable. The AH models indicated that the walking duration of males and females varied under different conditions and contexts. For example, female workers were likely to walk longer trips relative to non-workers; however, this was the opposite among males. Household characteristics such as car ownership were found with greater negative effect on walking duration of males than females. Furthermore, zones with higher land use mix and higher connectivity led to shorter walking duration in both models.

这项研究使用2007年拉什特家庭旅行调查（RHTS）的数据，考察了各种旅行/建筑环境以及个人/家庭特征如何影响伊朗拉什特市男性和女性的步行时间。作为步行相关研究中的一种新方法，加速危害（AH）建模用于预测步行时间。生存曲线分析表明，理想的步行时间为五分钟，但步行十分钟也是可以接受的。AH模型表明，男性和女性的步行时间在不同的条件和环境下会有所不同。例如，女工相对于非女工可能要走更长的路程；但是，在男性中却是相反的。人们发现，诸如拥有汽车之类的家庭特征对男性的步行时间的负面影响大于女性。此外，两种模型中土地使用率较高且连接性较高的区域导致步行时间较短。
