“…Among them, the impact of rapid transport routes on land use is apparent mainly in the form of corridors at the microscopic scale, such as suburban functional areas in corridors along roads, in clusters or as corridor-cluster combinations [11]. Traffic systems and urban spatial structures influence each other [12]. Prevalent research on the connection between transportation and land use has focused on intercity corridors and paid little attention to the impact of transportation routes on temporal and spatial changes in various types of land use, particularly cross-border roads.…”

Road construction fragments the landscape, reduces connectivity, and drives land use changes. To our knowledge, little is known about the scope and intensity of the effects of cross-border roads on changes in land use. Here, with the land use data products provided by the US Agency for International Development’s SERVIR Mekong project, using the GIS-based spatial analysis to quantitatively analyze and compare the effects of the cross-border road on land use changes within a 30 km buffer area along the Kunming–Bangkok Highway between Laos and Thailand. The results show the following: The greater the distance was from the highway, the smaller were the overall changes in land use within the buffer zone. A comparison of the situation before and after the road was opened in 2013 revealed significant differences in the most influential land use types of agricultural expansion, i.e., from 47.07% to 52.07% (the buffer zone was 1 km). In particular, 57.32% (1381.93 ha) and 40.08% (966.46 ha) of the land occupied by forests had been converted into land for plantation and agriculture, respectively, from 2013 to 2018. The scope of the impact of the operational route on the dynamics of land use was inconsistent. The largest impact before the road became operational was within 4 km of the buffer zone (0.26 to 0.24). Once the road had been opened, the range of its impact was beyond 10 km (0.63 to 0.57). The work here can provide a scientific basis for regional transportation planning and the sustainable use of land resources.

“…The rapid growth of urban populations, along with a vastly increasing global interconnectedness and dynamic environmental change, is also associated with local infrastructural challenges and effects on livelihoods [10]. Citizens and urban professionals in sub-Saharan African cities must focus on a more sustainable urban planning which includes coping with transport infrastructure issues and coming up with enhanced local transportation concepts [11].…”

The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in Dar es Salaam: A Pilot Study on Critical Infrastructure, Sustainable Urban Development and Livelihoods

et al. 2021

Inner-city transportation looms large in big cities in the so-called Global South due to rapid population and urban growth. To tackle this challenge, a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system was implemented in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) in 2016. This paper reports on the results of a pilot study on the impacts of the BRT on city development and livelihoods in Dar. Our pilot study, which is part of the collaborative research project LIPSINDAR (Linking Partners for a Sustainable and Inclusive Dar es Salaam), was not designed to provide a comprehensive insight into the problems of urban planning, infrastructure modification and their impact on urban livelihoods. Rather, using the example of Dar es Salaam, the study served as an entry point to highlight challenges and future research demands in the context of urban insecurities and risks in large cities of the Global South. In particular, our study investigated the BRT as an element of critical infrastructure in Dar es Salaam and probed into its impact on residents’ livelihoods, focusing on the influence of service disruptions on everyday routines, and on different stakeholders’ views on the functionality of the BRT. Elaborating on this topic, interviews, street vendor surveys and mappings were used as methods to describe the processes. To examine the results more closely, the outcome was divided into groups of different fields of activity, namely Traffic Management, Local Residents, City Administration, Basic Provision Services and Street Vendors. In summary, the pilot study confirms that the implementation of the BRT system has, in general, served to improve urban livelihoods. Reducing commuting times and enhancing access to basic services found positive results. There is, however, still potential for improvement: the bus network, in particular, needs to be expanded and the vulnerability to natural extreme events, especially flooding, needs to be addressed.

“…A paradigm was formed by using these various models to simulate the changing trends and interrelations between the land-use and traffic system, followed by sensitivity analysis, which considers the influence of the changing variables [135]. Interest in general bilevel programming has grown [136], and CA models [137] have helped to describe this phenomenon; further, the interrelationships among population, roads, vehicle ownership, and land development were further analysed [138]. Levinson and Xie, examining the coevolution model of 19th and 20th century London, demonstrated that population distribution and network density are positively correlated.…”

The research on complex networks offers novel insight into the analysis of complex urban systems. The objective of this article is to provide a review of complex network theory in urban land-use and transport studies to date. Some traditional integrated studies of urban land-use and traffic networks are summarized and analysed; related research gaps were proposed. Then, this paper reviewed the application of complex network theory in urban land-use and transport research and practice. It shows that the node importance identification method is critical for network protection or attack studies; the multiple centrality assessment and kernel density estimation approaches can be used to represent the intuitionistic connections of urban traffic networks and surrounding land-uses; it can be used to verify the changing trend and variation of landscape connectivity; also it can be applied to the identification of key changed land-use types in land-use cover change; the coevolution process can be treated as an integrated way to discuss the relationships between urban traffic network growth and land-use change, and the multilayer networks based analysis is a novel method to measure their interactions. This paper is essential in establishing apparent research interests and points out the further potential application of complex network theory in urban traffic network and land-use related studies.
