September 1999 Civil and Environmental Engineering Incorporating Residential Choice into Travel Behavior-Land Use Interaction Research: A Conceptual Model with Methodologies for Investigating Causal Relationships Abstract This dissertation investigates the factors that influence an individual’s residential choice. The role that residential choice plays in other individual decisions is also investigated, with an emphasis placed on understanding the importance of land use configuration on individual travel demand. To achieve this, a conceptual model of residential choice/preference was developed that was a comprehensive reflection of those relationships supported by the literature and by informed judgement. The complexity of this model is seen in the many interdependent relationships that involve residential choice. For example, in choosing a place to live, a household may evaluate a dwelling unit and/or neighborhood according to how it fits along several interrelated dimensions, such as: housing type, neighborhood type, distance to work, distance to shopping and other household-related activities, type of mode to work and car ownership.
