Transit-oriented development (TOD) pursues sustainable urban development through compact growth, mixed-use zoning, and pedestrian-friendly neighborhood design in cooperation with transportation planning. Seoul has actively developed urban rail transit since the 1970s based on a TOD concept, and each station’s areas have differently evolved throughout the history of urbanization in Seoul. In response to investigating the complications of current TOD, this paper evaluates TOD characteristics through accessibility and clustering analysis methods and categorizes TOD types using the targeted 246 subway station areas at the neighborhood level. As a result, subway TODs are grouped into the four distinct categories of (1) high-density: a form of mainly mixed-use with residential and retail development and good accessibility; (2) moderate-density: average accessibility and high-mixed use; (3) compact business district setting: highly accessible to offices and retail; and (4) compact housing: high-rise apartments with schools and retail. The results also find that Cluster 2 is the most common TOD type and redevelopment possibility in Seoul, with relatively lower ranks in the building floor area (GFA) and diversity in comparison to other TOD contexts. Cluster 3 has the most significant transit demand, generating an active transit environment in Seoul. Different urban development periods impact the characteristics of TOD types.

The concept of transit-oriented development (TOD) has been widely recognized in recent years for its role in reducing car traffic, improving public transportation, and enhancing traffic sustainability. This paper conducts empirical research on a developed rail transit network, using Shanghai as a case study. In addition to traditional TOD features, other factors based on urban rail transit are introduced, including multi-level modeling (MLM), which is used to analyze the possible factors influencing rail patronage. To avoid the bias of research results led by the correlation between independent variables, factors are divided into two levels. The first level includes three groups of variables: the built environment, station characteristics, and socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. The second level includes a set of variables which are regional characteristics. Results show that the most significant impact on train patronage is station location in the business district area. Other factors that have a positive effect on promoting rail transit travel include the number of service facilities around the station, degree of employment around the station, economic level, intensity of residential development, if the station is a transfer station, the operating period of the station, and the size of the large transportation hub around the station.

Two Phases

The need for a mid-tier transit system and the opportunities created by 21st century transit technologies like Trackless Trams System (TTS) has been analysed in an earlier paper to show TTS could be a leapfrog solution for the future of sustainable urban development in developing cities. This paper outlines how the TTS can be created as a part of Transit Oriented Development (TOD). Informed by literature, this study identified four factors that are important for enabling transition towards TOD. Using three of these factors a framework for assessing and evaluating TOD is formulated. The study then applies the formulated framework to the potential corridors that could potentially enable a transition towards a successful TOD for Bulawayo and enable the TTS to be delivered in a partnership with urban land development. The findings do reveal that most of the station precincts that are closer to the CBD have a higher potential to enable transition to TOD. This could suggest that the TTS could be implemented in two phases, the first phase covering the high impact station precincts.

The problem of urban planning in the context of globalization and the intensification of urban growth is considered in the context of sustainable development. Under UN-Habitat regulations, urban development must be in line with five principles: compactness, high density, mixed use, variety, limited land-use specialization. Compact urban development is a model for sustainable urban development, based on the synergy of three main dimensions: social, economic and environmental. In contrast to the approach to territorial zoning, the compact city model pays attention not only to the development of mixed land use, but also to social needs in places of employment, leisure, recreation, as well as the need for economic resources. In order to identify strategies for designing a sustainable architectural and planning structure, theoretical approaches to the practice of urban planning are investigated. Implementation of the provisions of UN-Habitat is aimed at reducing energy consumption and harmful emissions, preserving biodiversity, reducing the cost of infrastructure and increasing labor productivity, which helps to achieve a balance of social, economic and environmental goals of sustainable development.

Estimating urban rail transit station catchment areas is of great significance to deepening our understanding of Transit-Oriented Development in Chinese megacities. This study investigated station choices of residents and considered that residents may not only pay attention to the proximity to stations when the URT system develops into a relatively mature network. An improved Huff model was proposed to calculate the probability of residents’ station choice, which considered the station attractiveness. The station attractiveness is measured by three variables: walk score, public transport accessibility level, and service and facility index. The additive form based on multicriteria decision is adopted to incorporate experts’ opinions on the importance of three variables. In this study, extended catchment areas that can be accessed by cycling and feeder bus services are adopted to replace the conventional pedestrian-oriented catchment areas. A case study of Xi’an, China, was used to validate the applicability of the proposed methodology. The results revealed that the methodology effectively solved the problem. The findings could be used as a reference and provide technical support to policymakers and city planners with regard to the transport facilities configuration for URT station catchment areas, which contributes to facilitating transit-oriented development.

Abstract Tramways have made a remarkable comeback in France since the 1980s. An organization of public transport based on the decentralized administration system set up in the early 1980s has allowed local urban authorities to make their own choices to develop public transport networks in the context of automobile domination. As in many other countries, worries about fossil fuel dependency and demands concerning sustainable urban development appear as strong elements in favour of urban light rail. However, in France, tramways are not just technical solutions for traffic congestion, they have also become a symbol of a cultural mutation in urban development planning. Coupled with a national political push for a more inclusive city in social terms, tramways are the backbone of contemporary urban policies, in a French version of transit-oriented development (TOD), especially for mid-size cities.

 AbstrakMasifnya pembangunan infrastruktur transportasi yang berbasis transit menandakan bahwa saat ini terdapat urgensi untuk menggiatkan penggunaan sustainable transportation di perkotaan, khususnya bagi kota dengan tingkat kemacetan yang tinggi seperti Jakarta. MRT dan konsep Transit Oriented Development (TOD) menjadi platform yang diharapkan untuk menjadi solusi untuk mencapai pembangunan kota yang berkelanjutan. Di Jakarta, salah satu  kawasan yang ditetapkan menjadi Kawasan TOD adalah Kawasan SCBD Senayan yang memiliki 2 stasiun MRT yaitu Stasiun Istora Mandiri dan Stasiun Senayan. Kawasan SCBD Senayan yang ditetapkan berdasarkan RPJMD PT MRT Jakarta 2017 – 2022 merupakan segitiga emas Jakarta yang identik dengan distrik komersial kelas atas dan menjadi salah satu pusat bisnis terbesar di Jakarta. Meskipun merupakan kawasan yang well developed, kawasan ini belum cukup mengakomodir penggunaan transportasi yang sustainable karena tingginya penggunaan kendaraan pribadi. Untuk mendukung penggunaan transportasi berbasis transit seperti MRT dan Transjakarta di Kawasan SCBD Senayan, studi ini mengkaji desain spasial stasiun Dockless Bikeshare yang dapat menjadi bagian dalam transportasi publik dengan metode field approach untuk mendesain persebaran stasiun bikeshare pada lokasi-lokasi eksisting yang juga terintegrasi dengan titik transit di Kawasan SCBD Senayan. Desain spasial ini memberikan first to last mile solution, artinya jika pengguna transportasi umum sampai di titik transit, maka perjalanan selanjutnya dilakukan dengan menggunakan sepeda pinjam (bikeshare) untuk sampai ke tempat tujuannya.The massive development of transit oriented transportation indicates that there is rather an urgency to practice sustainable transportation in cities, especially in cities with severe congestion like Jakarta. MRT and Transit Oriented Development (TOD) become platforms that are hoped to be a solution in a sake of reaching the sustainable urban development. In Jakarta, one of the districts that is set to be a TOD area is Senayan SCBD Area with 2 MRT stations, which are Istora Mandiri and Senayan. Senayan SCBD area is legalized under the RPJMD of PT MRT Jakarta 2017-2022. Although the area is considered well developed, it is insufficient to accommodate the use of sustainable transportation due to high numbers of private use of motorized transportation. To support a-transit-based transportation like MRT and Transjakarta in Senayan SCBD Area, this study attempts to research how Dockless Bikeshare can potentially be a part of public transportation with field approach method to spatially design the bikeshare station in existed locations that are also integrated with public transit. The spatial design allows the first to last mile solution, so once people reach the transit, they can continue to get into their destination by using the bikeshare.
