This paper develops a conceptual and econometric framework of non-work activity location choice that is comprehensive in its incorporation of spatial cognition, heterogeneity in preference behavior, and spatial interaction. The proposed framework subsumes a variety of restricted models, including the multinomial logit, first-order state-dependence logit, spatially correlated logit, and mixed spatially correlated logit models. The applicability of the framework is demonstrated through an empirical analysis with German Mobidrive data.
