“…Consequently, their overall levels of carbon emissions were lower -i.e. TOD contributes to environmental sustainability (Transportation Research Board, 2001;Lin and Gau, 2006;Loo et al, 2010). Moreover, TOD also influenced people to walk more and thereby enhanced physical activity level and consequently contributed to maintain good health.…”

The purpose of this research is to empirically test the prevailing view that transit oriented development enhances the use of more sustainable modes of transport using Brisbane, Australia as a case. Transit oriented development has been adopted as a new policy tool to reduce car-based travel worldwide. Despite being a billion dollar investment, the impacts of transit oriented development on promoting sustainable travel behavior is not conclusive. The research uses a case-control approach to empirically investigate this relationship based on travel behavior data collected from 88 individuals living in two contrasting neighborhoods in Brisbane: Kelvin Grove Urban Village -a transit oriented development, and Annerley -a traditional suburb (non-transit oriented development). A comparative investigation of travel behavior was subsequently conducted using distance travelled by modes and purposes between the neighborhoods. Results show that the availability of opportunity and services located within the transit oriented development reduces the car use by 5% and increases the use of active transport by 4%. The findings in this research support the implementation of TOD policies in Brisbane.

“…In contrast, TODs are also associated with a number of undesirable features of a neighborhood e.g. higher level of crime (Bowes and Ihlanfeldt., 2001;Billings et al, 2011); deterioration of livability values due to increased density (Lin and Gau, 2006); and negative effects on real estate prices (Atkinson-Palombo, 2010).…”

“…Two areas were selected: areas with significant attributes of TOD built environment (TOD + ) and areas with attributes contrary to TOD built environment (TOD -). A station area was defined as the area within a quarter mile (about 400 meters) of a metro station, as in earlier works by Calthorpe (1993), White and McDaniel (1999), and Lin and Gau (2006). Following survey area selection, sample households were selected and investigated.…”

“…Previous studies of TOD mostly focused on government concerns such as planning strategies and implementation (Banai 1998;Beimborn et al 1991;Cervero 1994;Loukaitou-Sideris 2000;Moon 1990), planning models (Kaneko and Fukuda 1999;Lin and Gau 2006;Lin and Li 2008) and effect assessment Lund et al 2004;Lin and Shin 2008). Property markets and developers in TOD areas are rarely analyzed.…”

“…TOD was introduced in China in the late 1990s against the background of rapid urbanization and suburbanization [11]. While large-scale affordable housing communities emerged on the outskirt of large cities [12], urban rail transportation infrastructure became critical given that it provides the essential connection between suburban housing and urban center jobs [13].…”

Challenges in the Integration of Light Rail and Land Use: A Case Study of Yizhuang Line in Beijing

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Transit-oriented development (TOD) is advocated by urban planners as a tool to promote transportation and land use integration, and it has especially been applied in new town developments in Chinese cities. Since 2000, urban metro system construction in Beijing has accelerated and many new towns in suburban areas have emerged due to rail transit connections with the central city. This paper is a case study of Yizhuang new town, which is located in the southeast suburban area of Beijing. It explores whether light rail is successful in promoting transportation and land use integration. First, by comparing the land use within a 1 km radius of three rail stations, findings suggest that the TOD model in terms of land use may not be implemented. Second, by tracing land use changes over time, we found that commercial functions are critical to support TOD development. Third, the mismatch of urban functions between low-skilled labor employment opportunities and high-skilled residential neighborhoods emphasizes the failure of planned reverse commuting patterns. In conclusion, our findings suggest that without a proper land use policy, TOD based on light rail only may not be a successful model in the case of Yizhuang new town. The policy implication is that the planning code of land use should be more flexible and adaptable, in order to promote the integration of transportation and land use in a synergetic way.
