Land Use Transformation

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) has shown significant growth in recent years, particularly in developing countries because of its cost-effectiveness. However, empirical evidence on land-use and economic impacts of BRT is limited. This study measures the sustainable land-use transformation, urban density, and economic impact witnessed after the development of BRT. Spatial analysis shows that BRT has the potential to simulate land-use transformation, however, the extent of transformation is context-dependent. Population density has increased from 268 persons/acre to 299 persons/acre. Besides land-use transformations, inward investments and extension of the labor market were also evident in areas served by BRT. The amount almost equal to US $140 million of inward investment was detected after implementation of BRT, which ultimately brought around 800 new employees from remote areas. An efficient land-use policy, streamlining these land-use transformations, and inward investments, can benefit from developing compact and sustainable neighborhoods. This study will help in the performance evaluation of BRT systems in developing countries for sustainable development.

Hybrid Bus

Interstation travel speed is an important indicator of the running state of hybrid Bus Rapid Transit and passenger experience. Due to the influence of road traffic, traffic lights and other factors, the interstation travel speeds are often some kind of multi-peak and it is difficult to use a single distribution to model them. In this paper, a Gaussian mixture model charactizing the interstation travel speed of hybrid BRT under a Bayesian framework is established. The parameters of the model are inferred using the Reversible-Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach (RJMCMC), including the number of model components and the weight, mean and variance of each component. Then the model is applied to Guangzhou BRT, a kind of hybrid BRT. From the results, it can be observed that the model can very effectively describe the heterogeneous speed data among different inter-stations, and provide richer information usually not available from the traditional models, and the model also produces an excellent fit to each multimodal speed distribution curve of the inter-stations. The causes of different speed distribution can be identified through investigating the Internet map of GBRT, they are big road traffic and long traffic lights respectively, which always contribute to a main road crossing. So, the BRT lane should be elevated through the main road to decrease the complexity of the running state.

Mapping Analysis

Fenomena suburbanisasi yang terjadi di kota Makassar mendorong terciptanya pusat-pusat aktivitas baru di kawasan pinggiran dan menimbulkan berbagai masalah baru, seperti masalah transportasi. Penelitian ini menjelaskan arah perkembangan kota di wilayah suburban, karakteristik pergerakan, kondisi pelayanan angkutan massal dan menemukan strategi pengembangan transportasi angkutan massal. Proses pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi lapangan dan wawancara, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan mapping analysis, deskriptif kuantitatif, komparasi dan SWOT untuk menemukan strategi pengembangan. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa kota berkembang ke arah Timur dan Selatan serta tidak sesuai dengan hierarki jalan. Disamping itu masyarakat suburban dominan melakukan perjalanan 5 kali dalam seminggu dengan waktu tempuh berkisar 30 menit. Pelayanan angkutan massal menggunakan bus (Bus Rapid Transit) masih rendah karena halte masih sulit dijangkau meskipun biaya penggunaannya sangat terjangkau dan memberikan kenyamanan lebih dibanding angkutan massal lainnya. Oleh karena itu diperlukan strategi pengembangan konsep transportasi yang bersifat mikro dan adaptif untuk diterapkan.

Signage, sebagai Passenger Information System dalam sistem Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) pada halte Transjakarta: halte Grogol 1 - Grogol 2 tampilannya tidak koheren dan tidak berkesinambungan. Keragaman tampilan signage statis permanen ditelusuri dengan mengaitkannya dengan konteks waktu perkembangan sistem dan keberadaan halte. Penelusuran ini diharapkan akan menjadi catatan untuk memahami keragaman tampilan tersebut.

Sports Tourism as a segment is growing exponentially in Brazil. The sports mega-events that occurred in the period from 2007 to 2016 helped strengthen this sector significantly. This article examined tourism mobility during the Summer Olympic Games Rio 2016, hosted by the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This study expands the understanding of the relationship between tourism and city infrastructure, therefore being relevant to academics, professionals of the area and to the whole society due to its multidisciplinary field. The existence of a relationship between means of transportation and the Olympic regions as well as tourist attractions for a possible legacy was observed. Data were collected from official sources, field research and through participant-observation and semi structured interviews. Data were coded and analyzed. The results indicate that the city was overall successful in its execution of sufficient mobility. New means of transportation were added and others updated. BRT's (Bus Rapid Transit) were the main use of mass transport to Olympic sites. However, a lack of public transport access was observed for the touristic sites.
