摘要：AbstractGaining a better understanding of commuting characteristics in rural areas could provide urban planners and policy makers with a new insight into urban development and planning. In many cities, travellers move from urban areas to live in rural areas due to fast urbanization. Therefore, an empirical study was conducted in Jinhexincheng community that is a typical rural community in Jiading District, Shanghai. Commuting behaviours were collected, and local commuters were categorized into three groups: relocated commuters, non-relocated commuters, and near-work commuters. Relocated commuters were further classified into Working Place Changed group and Not Yet Changed group. This study compared commuting time, trip distance, departure time, travel mode of the above five categories. Commuting behaviours of the residents to downtown Shanghai were also investigated for the comparison purpose. The results indicate that there are significant differences between commuters living in rural and central areas. Non-relocated commuters and working place not changed commuters have longer trip distance and commuting time. Based on the proposed improvement measures of the transportation system, decision makers could draw a lesson from the commuting characteristics and the effects of relocation on residents’ commuting behaviours.
