Abstract:

In order to quantify the influences of the built environment at different spatial scales on car ownership， a gradient boosting decision tree model is applied to investigate the relative importance of the built environment at both city and community levels in this study. The survey data from China Labor-force Dynamics Survey is used to conduct the empirical analysis. The results show that the individual socio-economic status is the most influential among three categories of factors with collective importance of 53.24%. With the collective importance of 30.45%， the built environment characteristics at the community level have greater influences than the built environment characteristics at the city level. For the specific characteristics， household income is the most influential factor with the relative importance of 31.66%. All built environment characteristics have influences that are greater than 1.5%. Therefore， it is important to optimize the built environment at different spatial scales to deter the increase of car ownership.

Key words: engineering of communicaiton and transportation system, built environment, car ownership, different spatial scales, gradient boosting decision tree
