Abstract

The research aims to examine how school children's characteristics may contribute to the choice of mode to school while testing how different neighbourhood density and design may influence the freedom to mobility. Findings indicate that children living in the denser neighbourhood are significantly associated with independent mobility to school compare to children live in a low-density neighbourhood that reported the independent mobility has considerably decreased. Children's preferences for being driven coincide with parents' fears for children safety and concern their children's ability to travel independently in an unsafe neighbourhood environment besides the school profile.
