Decision Acting

Habitual behaviour

Impulsive behaviour

Intuitive or habitual behaviour follows a perception of need straight into a pre-decided action – there is no evaluation involved and no decision has to be taken.

Most travel decisions (commute, shopping trips) are habitual

Types of decisions making (Weggemans, 2004)

Role of the road

Employee Presentation 3-00 - p 26

Role of the road

Roads – spaces for movements of cars

Employee Presentation 3-00 - p 27

Role of the road

Roads – public community spaces Movement corridors

(people, cycles, cars) Meeting places, Children's playgrounds Green spaces

Key contextual factor in changing travel habits

Employee Presentation 3-00 - p 28

interaction, improve safety Location - areas of social housing with high crime rates and

antisocial behaviour
