Abstract
In recent years, studies have found that individuals’ choice of transportation mode is influenced not only by the level of service and socioeconomic variables but also by spatial and social interactions effects, also known as neighbourhood effect in which the individual’s behaviour is influenced by the relational effects of the people living in his neighbourhood. However, past research has only focused on topics such as children's travel behaviour, bicycle use, choice of residence place, and have not considered the presence of a neighbourhood effect when analysing commuting travel behaviour. In addition, the majority of previous works have investigated neighbourhood effects only for the place of residence, while it would be important to understand the presence of these effects also for the place of destination.
Another issue of most of the papers who have analysed the effect of individuals’ spatial interactions, is that they neglected the impact of psycho-attitudinal variables which, in the last 20 years, have been proven to play a fundamental role in individuals’ travel behaviour
