Intra-Urban Social Visiting and Leisure Behavior

Abstract

This paper examines the temporal and spatial characteristics of urban inter-residential social travel. By analyzing Lansing metropolitan transportation survey data, residential social trips as compared to trips for other purposes were found to more frequently start and end at home, and infrequently be combined with other activities. Contrary to the expected pattern, lower income individuals exhibited a larger proportion of inter-residential social trips than did those of higher income groups. Initially, social interaction frequency was found to decline rapidly with increasing distance from the individual's home location. Beyond the confines of the “neighborhood,” the decline in interaction frequency was much more gradual, however.
