The life and death of residential dissonants in transit-oriented development: A discrete time survival analysis

Residential dissonants, residents who are not satisfied with land use patterns in their neighbourhood, a threat to transit-oriented development (TOD) policy because of unsustainable transport choices. However, it is known if level dissatisfaction reduced TODs, and so, the time duration takes. This study tracks dissonance status 98 TOD using five waves panel data spanning over nine years from Brisbane, Australia. The were classified into dissonant consonant (opposite dissonants) groups discrete survival analysis technique was applied identify time-to-event for these groups. An event recorded became consonant, or vice versa. Two hazard models estimated binary logistic regression (one each transition) socio-demographic built environment characteristics associated occurrence an event. Results showed that about 46% dissonants at baseline. functions significantly different between classes. About half took-on consonants just four years. In contrast, remained relatively longer (median 9 years). Groups likely become those low educational status, people born overseas. findings suggest TODs have autonomous effect on changing attitudes time, which verifies ‘reverse causality’ hypothesis, therefore, be free naturally presumably as experience benefits living. process could sped up targeted interventions (e.g., concessionary travel card, rent relief bear high cost living TODs) being as, susceptible dissonant.
