abstract = "The growing literature on the impacts of social environment on travel has contributed to our understanding of the relationships between social network and travel. However, many gaps remain to be filled in. For example, not much attention has been paid to investigate the choice of companionship for daily activities and travel. Using the activity-travel diary data from 770 samples collected in Hong Kong in 2010, this study analyzes the characteristics of the companionship of individuals' daily activities and the influence of social context and ICT use on the choice of companionship. Companionship patterns are found to be significantly different between activity types as well as between weekday and weekend; longer duration activities tend to be accompanied by weak ties. Results from the logit model analysis suggest that social context have significant impacts on individuals' choice of companionship for daily activities.",
