Independent Mobility and Mode Choice for School Transportation: A Review and Framework for Future Research (2013, background): “These developments influence school travel behaviour; research has demonstrated that children who are considered more “mature” are more likely to be allowed to walk or cycle on their own (Johansson, 2006; Prezza et al., 2001; Wen et al., 2008).”
Does the walkability of neighbourhoods affect children's independent mobility, independent of parental, socio-cultural and individual factors? (2014, background): “capable of handling the environment) (Prezza et al. 2001).”
On children's independent mobility: the interplay of demographic, environmental, and psychosocial factors (2012, methodology): “Regarding the choice not to involve children in our investigation, it is worth noting that several studies on the independent mobility of children have used only parents’ responses (Hüttenmoser 1995, Prezza et al. 2001, Johansson 2006, Fyhri and Hjorthol 2009).”
The extent of children's independent mobility and the number of actualized affordances as criteria for child-friendly environments (2004, methodology): “Prezza et al. (2001) found that the most independent children living in Rome, were those who lived in apartment buildings with courtyards, near the parks, and in new neighborhoods.”
Parental perception of social risk and of positive potentiality of outdoor autonomy for children: The development of two instruments (2005, background): “The importance of being integrated in the neighbourhood was confirmed by Hüttenmoser (1995) and Prezza et al. (2001).”
Affordances and Independent Mobility in the Assessment of Environmental Child Friendliness (2003, background): “In recent decades, children’s independent mobility regarding their own environments have become increasingly declined, especially in Western countries, Finland being one exception (Article II; Hillman et al., 1990; O’Brien et al., 2000; Tranter, 1993; Prezza et al., 2001; Gaster, 1992).”
Hybrid Choice Model to Investigate Effects of Teenagers' Attitudes toward Walking and Cycling on Mode Choice Behavior (2013, background): “Among the demographic variables, a child’s age (21, 22) and gender (13, 19, 23, 24) have been found to influence children’s choice of school travel mode significantly.”
