Sustainable mobility is gaining increasing attention as it is seen as an approach to effectively reduce automobile travel and simultaneously encourage other modes of travel. To this end, it is imperative that scholars provide planners and policymakers with adequate empirical evidence to enable them to make informed decisions. In this sense, this study attempts to understand how socio-demographics, urban form (town center proximity-walk accessibility and other locational characteristics), perception and satisfaction pertaining to public transport influence automobile trip frequency. It particularly employs a partial least square structural equation modelling approach with the aim of appreciating the complexities in the land use-travel behavior interaction with the aid of data from the 2012 National Household Travel Survey of Ghana. The paper finds that the main explanatory factors identified in the land use-transportation-travel behavior literature are deemed significant in the case of Accra with socio-demographics yielding the largest magnitude. Also, public transport satisfaction turns out to have a negative influence on automobile trips.

城市形态是否会影响加纳阿克拉的汽车出行频率？

可持续出行越来越受到关注，因为它被视为有效减少汽车出行并同时鼓励其他出行方式的一种方法。为此，当务之急是为计划者和政策制定者提供足够的经验证据，以使他们能够做出明智的决定。从这个意义上讲，本研究试图了解社会人口统计学，城市形态（市中心接近步行的可达性和其他位置特征），与公共交通有关的感知和满意度如何影响汽车出行频率。它特别采用了偏最小二乘结构方程建模方法，目的是借助2012年加纳全国家庭旅行调查的数据，了解土地使用与旅行行为相互作用的复杂性。本文发现，在阿克拉地区，社会人口统计学的影响最大，在土地利用，运输，旅行行为文献中确定的主要解释因素被认为是重要的。而且，公共交通满意度对汽车出行产生负面影响。
