Noise is one of the most frequent complaints and represents a public health hazard. While traffic-related noise has been studied extensively, research on construction lacking. In this study, we examined relationship between activities annoyance tested whether stronger after working hours. Data were drawn from historical inventory major development projects crowdsourced citizen data (311 calls) in Vancouver, Canada 2011 to 2016. Mixed effects models developed with an interaction after-hours...
To capture the complex relationships between transportation and land use, researchers practitioners are increasingly using place-based measures of accessibility to support a broad range planning goals. This research reviews state-of-the-art in applied measurement performs comparative evaluation software tools for calculating by walking public transit including ArcGIS Pro, Emme, R5R, OpenTripPlanner R Python, among others. Using case study Toronto, we specify both origin-based regional-scale...
Research on access to healthy foods often emphasizes the spatial proximity of residents food stores like supermarkets as a way gauge overall accessibility. Much literature has focused locating closest facility, assuming that one store is sufficient. Given evidence multiple can improve diets, however, this article examines how facility measures differ from cumulative opportunity accessibility across space in medium-sized U.S. city. Differences between automobile and transit riders, using...
