Abstract

It is well recognized the importance of physical activity such as walking for human health. This study aims to find the relationship between urban characters and physical activity levels in Japan, especially focusing on travel behavior. We analyzed it by using trip data in 40 cities from 1987 to 2005. According to our analysis, first, we showed the fundamental feature of physical activity in terms of travel mode and personal attributes. Second, it was found that physical activity levels of individuals had decreased by 20% during this period, and the result supported the idea that the urban density and also the car ownership levels in cities are related to the physical activity levels.
