Relationship Among Socio-demographic Characteristics, Activity-Travel Participation, Travel Parameter, Physical Activity Intensity, and Health Parameters

Recent and past studies clearly mentioned the influence of health on activities. However, according to the author view and recent studies, there has been limited studies which shows the influence of daily activities on health parameters. Besides, activity participation is complex which don't influence health directly. Therefore, the current study aim to investigate the influence of daily time-use and activity travel participation (ATP) on health parameters using intensity of physical activity at leisure time as intermediate variable using multi-dimensional three-week household survey. 191 houses and 732 persons in all were counted, which corresponds to 0.029% of the BMA's entire population. The association between activity patterns and health factors is validated using the hierarchical Structural Equation Model (SEM). According to the projected results, a minute increase in public transport mode makes a 0.088 positive correlation with physical health and 0.090 with social health, whereas the total travel time of 0.05 negatively affects physical health. Additionally, there is a strong correlation between improved physical and social health and the accessibility and availability of essential facilities within walking distance. This study employed interdisciplinary techniques that are required to be built to achieve better transportation policy and a healthier society with a higher quality of life.
