According to US EPA, "green infrastructure is a cost-effective, resilient approach to managing wet weather impacts that provides many community benefits. ...[g]reen infrastructure reduces and treats stormwater at its source while delivering environmental, social, and economic benefits. Within the transportation field, green infrastructure is promoted to prevent and mitigate negative environmental impacts that automobiles cause, and potentially facilitate more of use of alternative mode of travel, such as walking and biking. Is anyone aware of any studies that quantitatively measure the potential effects of green infrastructure on travel behavior?
It is not a direct title, but there is some information about green infrastructure and tourism/recreation. There are many studies on land use and travel behaviors.
Good luck for your research.
Hi,
I just found Kevin Manaugh with a work titled as follow:
The Socio-Environmental Impacts of Public Urban Fruit Trees: A Montreal Case-Study
I hope it helps.
I think you can find more by more searches.
Thank all of you for your responses. I was away from the office and did not check this site for a while. I will check your suggested articles.
Ozgur, I am fairly familiar with the literature on land use and travel behavior, but few studies examine green infrastructure, and no quantitative study found in my literature search. if you know of any other particular articles that address this connection, please let me know.
Thank you all again!!
