Abstract
In this paper, a methodology for incorporating social networks into models leisure activity location choice is discussed. Empirical work is discussed in order to establish a foundation for the methodology, and a hierarchical approach is presented. A simulated spatial social network based on empirical data is used for a collective location choice model. The results suggest that using a joint location choice model based on a social network can explain to some extent the gap between observed leisure trip length and the distance of the nearest leisure activity location measured in micro simulations.
