Abstract Active travel (walking and cycling) is a low-carbon travel mode, that is of great significance to the sustainable development of urban mobility. This paper integrates the mobility environment elements for walking and cycling, and constructs an environment for active travel evaluation index system. The main urban area of Harbin City is taken as the research object, and field research and interviews are conducted under the public health events. This study utilized the Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT) model to identify relatively important elements and employed the Impact-Asymmetry Analysis (IAA) method to explore the asymmetrical relationship between environment elements for active travel and the overall satisfaction. The goal is to identify key elements in the active travel environment that require optimization urgently and propose a strategy for optimizing the environment for active travel. The study found a non-linear relationship between the environmental elements of active travel and the overall satisfaction of residents. The study indicates that to enhance in residents’ satisfaction with the environment for active travel, the top priority should be improving the completeness of cycling road network, followed by pedestrian behavior and landscaping on sidewalks. The study further showed that there are differences in residents’ demand for walking and cycling environments, with residents more concerned about comfort for walking environments and more concerned about convenience for cycling environments. |
