Travel behaviour studies in activity-based perspective treat travel as a result of individual’s desire to participate in different activities. This approach is more significant in the context of developing countries, as the transportation problems are more severe here. Since, commuters contribute to a major share in the travel, understanding their travel behaviour is essential. This paper aims to explore the travel behaviour of commuters in Calicut city, Kerala State, India and thereby model their activity-travel patterns. Household, personal and activity-travel information from 12920 working people and 9684 students formed the database for this study. The data collection was performed by means of home-interview survey by face-to-face interview technique. From preliminary analysis, several simple and complex tours were identified for the study area. Working people’s work participation and students’ education activity participation decision are modelled as mandatory activity participation choice in a binary logit modelling framework. Results of this mandatory activity participation model revealed that male workers are more likely to engage in work compared to females. Presence of elderly persons is found to negatively influence the work participation decisions of workers. This may be due to the fact that, work activity may be partially or completely replaced with the medical requirements of the elderly. The chances for work activity participation increase with increase in number of two-wheelers at home. In the case of students, as the education level increases, they are found to be less likely to participate in education activities. Students are observed to follow simple activity-travel pattern. Complex tours are found to be performed by males, compared to females. Activity-travel pattern of the study group are predicted using the developed models. The percentages correctly predicted indicate reasonably good predictability for the models. These kind of studies are expected to help the town planners to better understand city’s travel behaviour and thus to formulate well-organised travel demand management policies.

This research aims to explore the dimension of perceived service quality of youth public transport passengers. This research is important due to the lack of research that focuses on perceived service quality of youth public transport passengers. This research employed quantitative research methodology. Survey was performed in order to gather research data. The respondents are 233 youth public transport passengers in Bogor and Tangerang, Indonesia. Exploratory factor analysis, validity analysis, and reliability analysis were conducted. The research results show that there are three dimensions of perceived service quality of youth public transport passengers. The dimensions are comfort, performance, and assurance.

Diese Untersuchung zielt darauf Dimensionen der wahrgenommenen Servicequalität jugendlicher Passagiere im öffentlichen Nahverkehr zu bestimmen. Diese Untersuchung ist aufgrund der mangelnden Forschung, die auf die wahrgenommene Servicequalität jugentlicher Fahrgäste im öffentlichen Nahverkehr abzielt, wichtig. In dieser Untersuchung wurde eine quantitative Forschungsmethode verwendet. Zur Erlangund von Forschungsdaten wurde eine Umfrage durchgeführt. Die Befragten sind 233 jugendliche Fahrgäste im öffentlichen Nahverkehr in Bogor und Tangerang (Indonesien). Explorative Faktorenanalyse, Validitätsanalyse und Zuverlässigkeitsanalyse wurden durchgeführt. Die Untersuchungsergebnisse zeigen, dass es drei Dimensionen der wahrgenommenen Servicequalität jugentlicher Fahrgäste im öffentlichen Nahverkehr gibt.

Z analizy przepływów zagranicznych kapitałów długoterminowych na rynkach krajów rozwijających się w latach 1970-2000 wynika, że wykazywały one silny napływ ale i odpływ. Skala odpływu kapitałów była najwyższa w krajach wysoko zadłużonych dochodząc nawet do 90% napływu oraz w krajach średnio zadłużonych dochodząc do 85% napływu i zdecydowanie niższa w krajach nisko zadłużonych. Wysoki i szybki odpływ kapitałów wpływał istotnie na obniżenie efektywności jego wykorzystania, a tym samym wzrostu realnego PKB. W krajach nisko zadłużonych tempo wzrostu realnego PKB w latach 1985-2005 było zdecydowanie wyższe od występującego w krajach wysoko i średnio zadłużonych. Korzyści z napływu kapitałów zagranicznych absorbowały w większości kraje nisko zadłużone m.in. za sprawą koncentracji BIZ i zdecydowanie niższego odpływu kapitałów.

The subject of the author’s considerations are long-term influences of external capital flows on economic development of developing countries. The article presents the range of external capital inflows and outflows into and out of markets of severely, moderately and less indebted countries. Less indebted countries achieve mainly profits from external capital flows, especially from foreign direct investment. Average annual rate of real GDP growth in less indebted countries was higher than in severely and moderately indebted countries during the period of 1985-2005.
