The Influence of Activity – Travel Behaviour on Individual’s Physical Health Condition

Travel becoming important element in this modernisation era as it involved in every part of activities that we do in daily life. It is also necessities that we must face to complete certain task of daily life. Hence, Hargerstrand (1970) insists that travel is a fixed constraint that must be taken to fulfil the desire and needs. Besides, in determining travel behaviour, travel activity must have a linkage between these variables; individual’s activity, household members and surrounding environment. Data surveying and collection must be done based on long term basis. It is because this study must be conducted in consistent mode so that the exact pattern travel behaviour could be obtained. By applying multivariate analysis, the effect of activity-travel behaviour towards physical health can be analysed. The multivariate analysis comprises set of survey data which have been distributed to the residents of Bandung Metropolitan Area. The respondents consist variety of gender, races, nationality, age, etc. and the duration of the survey is in one-week time. Multivariate analysis is used because this study cannot be done by using deterministic approach. Furthermore, this analysis can use more than one variable at one time.
