Methodology
The central hypothesis is that household CO2 emission is a function
of household attributes and urban spatial parameters, expressed
in the formula below:
»» household CO2 emission = f (household attributes,
spatial parameters) (1)
Data was collected through questionnaire surveys of 1200 and
1967 sample households in Xi’an and Bangalore, respectively. These
samples were selected using a stratified random sampling procedure
(Figures 1 and 2). The analysis included a series of statistical procedures
that identified and removed outliers, tested whether the assumptions
about homoscedasticity, collinearity and multilinearity were met, and
calibrated regression models that assessed the effects of the independent
variables.
