Travel satisfaction as experienced by rural residents is closely related to personal physical and mental health, as well as rural economic conditions. An improved rural road environment can be expected to enhance villagers' satisfaction with regards to visits to markets, but to date this has not been established empirically.
In this study, a questionnaire was designed to obtain local residents' evaluations of road environment characteristics for periodic market travel. And we use an Oprobit regression model and Importance-Performance Map Analysis (IPMA) to explore the heterogeneity of the 14 key elements of the "home-to-market" road environment impact on villagers' satisfaction under different modes of travel.
The results of the study reveal that villagers expressed dissatisfaction with the current lack of sidewalks and non-motorized paths, and except for road traffic disturbances and road deterioration, which did not significantly affect mode of travel, other factors proved significant. Significantly, bus services are associated with a significant positive effect on walking, non-motorized and bus travel satisfaction, while distance travel also affects walking, non-motorized and motorized travel satisfaction. It is worth noting that greening and service facilities negatively affect motorized travel satisfaction. In summary, road width, sidewalks, bus service, and road deterioration, are among the elements most in need of urgent improvement for all modes of travel.
The characteristics of the road environment that influence satisfaction with travel to the periodic market vary by travel mode, and this study is hoped to provide data support and optimization recommendations for the improvement of the rural road environment in China and other countries.
农村居民的出行满意度与其身心健康以及农村经济状况密切相关。改善农村道路环境有望提高村民对市场访问的满意度，但迄今为止，这一点尚未得到实证验证。
本研究设计了一份问卷，以获取当地居民对定期市场出行的道路环境特征的评价。我们使用 Oprobit 回归模型和重要性-绩效映射分析（IPMA）来探讨不同出行模式下，“从家到市场”道路环境对村民满意度的 14 个关键要素的异质性。
研究结果表明，村民对当前缺乏人行道和非机动道路表示不满，除了道路交通干扰和道路恶化对出行模式没有显著影响外，其他因素都很重要。值得注意的是，公共汽车服务对步行、非机动和公共汽车出行满意度有显著的正向影响，而距离出行也会影响步行、非机动和机动出行满意度。此外，绿化和服务设施对机动出行满意度产生负面影响。总体而言，道路宽度、人行道、公共汽车服务和道路恶化是所有出行方式都迫切需要改进的要素。
影响定期市场出行满意度的道路环境特征因出行方式而异，本研究希望为改善中国和其他国家的农村道路环境提供数据支持和优化建议。
