Temporary opportunities for studying and working abroad have been growing globally and intensifying the movement of highly skilled temporary populations. To attract this group, cities need to address their residential and mobility needs. This study focuses on factors influencing residential and travel satisfaction of transnational temporary residents, highlighting the occurrence of residential self-selection, its impacts on residential and travel choices and on derived levels of satisfaction. We have estimated a Bayesian Structural Equations Model and found that lower levels of residential satisfaction (residential dissonance) are associated with lower rents, living farther away from the place of study or work, and having higher transport expenditures. In contrast, higher levels of residential satisfaction (residential consonance) are related to individuals’ stronger preferences for active modes, lower levels of public transport use, and reduced transport monthly expenditures, which suggest shorter commuting distances. These findings reveal the tradeoffs involving residential location, monthly rent, and transport expenditures, highlighting that providing good public transport connections can reduce the burden of commuting distances. Our results indicate that better transport supply and land-use balance near the residence can improve both residential and travel satisfaction.

短期跨国搬迁背景下居住区位选择及其对出行满意度的影响

出国留学和工作的临时机会在全球范围内不断增加，并加剧了高技能临时人口的流动。为了吸引这个群体，城市需要解决他们的居住和出行需求。本研究侧重于影响跨国临时居民居住和旅行满意度的因素，重点介绍了居住自我选择的发生、其对居住和旅行选择以及衍生满意度的影响。我们估计了贝叶斯结构方程模型，发现较低水平的居住满意度（居住失调）与较低的租金、离学习或工作地点较远的居住地以及较高的交通支出有关。相比之下，较高水平的居住满意度（居住和谐度）与个人对活动模式的强烈偏好、较低水平的公共交通使用和减少的每月交通支出有关，这表明通勤距离更短。这些发现揭示了涉及住宅位置、月租金和交通支出的权衡，强调提供良好的公共交通连接可以减少通勤距离的负担。我们的研究结果表明，住宅附近更好的交通供应和土地利用平衡可以提高居住和旅行满意度。这些发现揭示了住宅位置、月租金和交通支出之间的权衡，强调提供良好的公共交通连接可以减少通勤距离的负担。我们的研究结果表明，住宅附近更好的交通供应和土地利用平衡可以提高居住和旅行满意度。这些发现揭示了住宅位置、月租金和交通支出之间的权衡，强调提供良好的公共交通连接可以减少通勤距离的负担。我们的研究结果表明，住宅附近更好的交通供应和土地利用平衡可以提高居住和旅行满意度。
