Residential self-selection (RSS) is the theoretical mechanism that explains that the impact of the built environment on travel behaviour is weaker than bivariate correlations suggest, because mode attitudes influence both the built environment and travel behaviour and therefore at least partially account for the bivariate relationship. Recently, the concept of travel-related reasons for residential choice has been introduced, which reflects the actual extent to which the travel-related characteristics of the built environment were considered during the relocation decision. In this paper, we hypothesize that travel-related location reasons are stronger predictors of the built environment choice than generic mode attitudes. This hypothesis is examined by estimating both a cross-sectional and a longitudinal Structural Equation Model using data gathered in the Netherlands. The results suggest that the travel-related location reasons are indeed stronger predictors for built environment location than travel mode attitudes and that the directions of causality between attitudes, travel-related location reasons, the built environment, and travel behaviour often run in both directions. Substantively, our findings indicate that public transport use is most strongly affected by the built environment (after controlling for both stated reasons and attitudes), while car and bicycle use are hardly affected. From a practical point of view, this suggests that transforming the built environment to be more friendly to public transport may increase the use of public transport, but that, at least in the Netherlands, such a strategy would not work well if the aim were to reduce car use or increase bicycle use.

住宅自我选择 (RSS) 是解释建筑环境对出行行为的影响弱于双变量相关性所暗示的理论机制，因为模式态度影响建筑环境和出行行为，因此至少部分解释了双变量相关性关系。近期引入了居住选择出行相关原因的概念，反映了搬迁决策时对建成环境出行相关特征的实际考虑程度。在本文中，我们假设与旅行相关的位置原因比一般模式态度更能预测建筑环境选择。通过使用在荷兰收集的数据估计横截面和纵向结构方程模型来检验该假设。结果表明，与出行相关的位置原因确实比出行方式态度更能预测建筑环境位置，并且态度、与出行相关的位置原因、建筑环境和出行行为之间的因果关系方向通常是双向的。实质上，我们的研究结果表明，公共交通的使用受建筑环境的影响最大（在对陈述的原因和态度进行控制后），而汽车和自行车的使用几乎没有受到影响。从实践的角度来看，这表明将建成环境改造为对公共交通更加友好，可能会增加公共交通的使用，
