What is the primary focus of behavioral geography in transportation planning?

  1. The impact of transportation infrastructure on human behavior

  2. The role of human behavior in transportation decision-making

  3. The relationship between transportation and land use

  4. The economic benefits of transportation investments


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Behavioral geography in transportation planning focuses on understanding how human behavior influences transportation choices and how transportation systems can be designed to better meet the needs of users.

Which of the following is an example of a behavioral geography concept used in transportation planning?

  1. Activity space

  2. Cognitive mapping

  3. Mental maps

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Activity space, cognitive mapping, and mental maps are all examples of behavioral geography concepts that are used in transportation planning to understand how people perceive and interact with their environment.

How can behavioral geography help to improve transportation planning?

  1. By identifying areas where transportation infrastructure is lacking

  2. By understanding the needs of transportation users

  3. By predicting how people will respond to changes in transportation systems

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Behavioral geography can help to improve transportation planning by identifying areas where transportation infrastructure is lacking, understanding the needs of transportation users, and predicting how people will respond to changes in transportation systems.

What are some of the challenges associated with using behavioral geography in transportation planning?

  1. The difficulty of collecting data on human behavior

  2. The complexity of modeling human behavior
