A single model without a weekday–weekend difference dummy (analytical findings in relation to the significance of the land use effect can be applied both to weekday and weekend travel) | Troped et al. (2010) [27] | Density, land use balance, and street intersection density increase physical activity. |
Forsyth et al. (2007) [28] | Housing density is positively associated with walking and physical activity. | |
Gim (2011) [9] | Compact land use facilitates automobile alternative travel. | |
A single model with a weekday–weekend difference dummy (it was tested and confirmed that the difference dummy has a significant effect on travel behavior) | Cervero and Duncan (2003) [29] | The weekend dummy positively affects walking and biking; land use diversity and design increase them. |
Ogilvie et al. (2008) [30] | The weekend dummy works negatively on active travel and positively on physical activities; land use has a limited effect on them. | |
Two separate weekday and weekend models (it was found that different land use variables may be significant in the weekday and weekend models) | Lee et al. (2009) [4] | Residential density and rail proximity reduce the total travel time on weekdays, but not on weekends. |
Lin and Yu (2011) [31] | Residential land use affects children’s leisure travel both on weekdays and weekends. | |
Witten et al. (2012) [32] | Neighborhood land use increases leisure-purpose physical activities on weekdays and weekends. |
