Hi, Eloisa

If allowed, I would like to share a paper written by me for the coming WCTRS conference.

In this paper, I investigated the relationship between urban form and health by incorporating a comprehensive health-related QOL measure and a comprehensive set of influencing factors. To measure the health-related QOL, I adopt not only physical health, but also mental health and social health based on a SF-36 survey method. To my knowledge, I have seen any paper in transportation looking at the health condition from all these three aspects as well as a rich set of influencing factors. The methodology that I used is an interdisciplinary approach. I conducted the survey via the Internet, with respect to a sample from major Japanese cities.

Best regards

Junyi ZHANG
