highest degree of positive correlation is Mongolia (r=0,945) and Tajikistan (r=0,933). Bostwana and
Italy showed highest significant positive correlation among countries (r=0,985 and r=0,902,
respectively) for transit stations and residential (r=0,994 and r=0,984). Bostwana also has the highest
significant positive correlation for the park (r=0.980). Meanwhile, for the workplace,
Mauritius (r=0,863) and Dominica (r=0,785) are countries with the highest degree of positive
