The goal of these studies was identifying effective factors to have sustainable <span style="color: black;">transport patterns</span>. However, investigating these factors has been problematic and the results are not reliable enough to be used universally. There are two main reasons for this:firstly, because socio-economic indicators impact neighbourhoods with comparable design differently; and secondly, factors such as income, and age, as well as self-selection factors are not easy to be evaluated. This paper addresses challenges and practices in this area to propose new objectives for further studies that cover previous shortcomings.</span> |
