Human movement behaviour in urban spaces: Implications for the design and modelling of effective pedestrian environments. (2004)
Journal Article
Willis, A., Gjersoe, N., Havard, C., Kerridge, J., & Kukla, R. (2004). Human movement behaviour in urban spaces: Implications for the design and modelling of effective pedestrian environments. Environment and planning. B, Planning & design, 31(6), 805-828. https://doi.org/10.1068/b3060

Despite a burgeoning research effort directed at the design and modelling of effective urban spaces for pedestrians, remarkably little is known about how pedestrians actually negotiate urban spaces. This paper reports the results of a video-based obs... Read More about Human movement behaviour in urban spaces: Implications for the design and modelling of effective pedestrian environments..

The economic impact of a sporting event: a regional approach. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Greig, M., & McQuaid, R. W. (2004, August). The economic impact of a sporting event: a regional approach. Presented at European Regional Science Association Conference

This paper aims to estimate the economic impact of a large one-day international sporting event on both a regional and a city economy. In addition, it seeks to investigate the regional origins of visitors to the event, and investigates the relationsh... Read More about The economic impact of a sporting event: a regional approach..

Determinants of visitor expenditure at a major sports event. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Greig, M., & McQuaid, R. W. (2004, August). Determinants of visitor expenditure at a major sports event. Presented at European Regional Science Association Conference

This paper develops a model of the determinants of visitor expenditure at a one day repeated major sporting event in Edinburgh, Scotland. An econometric model is developed that combines both macroeconomic data and socio-economic information derived f... Read More about Determinants of visitor expenditure at a major sports event..

Modeling competitive multi-modal transit services; a nested logit approach. (2004)
Journal Article
Wan, Q. K., Lo, H. K., Yip, C.-W., & Wan, Q. (2004). Modeling competitive multi-modal transit services; a nested logit approach. Transportation Research Part C : Emerging Technologies, 12(3-4), 251-272. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trc.2004.07.011

In metropolitan areas where multi-modal trips are common, modeling the combined-mode choices of travelers, and the strategic interactions between the private service operators are important issues. This study developed a novel network approach, desig... Read More about Modeling competitive multi-modal transit services; a nested logit approach..
