Influence Mechanisms and Optimization Strategies of the Built Environment in Industrial Parks on Low-carbon Commuting:A Case Study of Tianjin Hi-tech Zone
Industrial parks are urban spaces with production and employment as the dominant function,in which the commuting behaviors of employees present more obvious high-carbon characteristics.Two typical industrial parks with different locations,Huayuan Area(inner-city park)and Huayuan Industrial Park(outer-city park)in Tianjin Hi-tech Zone,are selected as the research objects.Principal component analysis and the multiple Logit regression model are applied.The influence mechanisms of the built environment on employees'commuting choices are analyzed from four dimensions,namely walking environment,function and vitality,traffic connectivity,and the construction of transport infrastructure.Commonalities and differences of low carbon optimization strategies for the built environment of different industrial parks are proposed.The results of the study show that:(1)Transport connectivity and walking environment are always important factors influencing employees'commuting choices,which should be given special attention when optimizing the built environment;(2)The inner-city park should emphasize the enhancement of functional diversity and vitality,while outer-city park should focus on the construction of transport infrastructure.
