“…The result demonstrated that urban sprawl can be reduced by up to 62 % through implementing certain spatial strategies [6]. The studies specifically concentrated on an urban strategy to minimize urban sprawl.Other researchers have paid attention to the relationship between employment suburbanization and the growth of reversed commuting in the weekday travel behavior of working residents in Paris [7]. The findings of the research confirmed that the choice of transport depends on the workplace, and the gentrification of the municipality of Paris linked to its capacity to attract high-qualified jobs and to its proximity to sub-centers.…”

Abstract-The phenomenon of urban sprawl has been a huge issue since the beginning of 20 th century and is characterized by rapid and unbalanced settlement development, with transportation network, particularly in the suburban areas. Academic researches have explained the linkage strategy between transportation network and urban planning. However, insufficient empirical verification has been carried out to reduce this phenomenon by using the integrated approach of space-transport development. This paper focuses on analyzing the improvement of public transport (PT)system strategies. The research is analyzed by using microscopic data and by distributing questionnaires in order to assess the impact of settlement development in the suburbs. The impact of PT improvement has an effect on the settlement. The conclusions reveal that the requirement to improve PT-system should be facilitated together with the expanding settlement development. The combination of PT-system has to be involved to reduce 35% in travel time and to increase doubling of the use of public transport.Index Terms-Public transport, urban sprawl, settlement development, suburban area. I. INTRODUCTIONRegarding urban development, a city expands to the outskirts of an urban area. This phenomenon has occurred in Europe and over the world. Most cities in Indonesia, it has created broad serious problems since the beginning of 20th. Urban sprawl has several features which impact on a low density zone, dependence on the automobile, spatial mismatch and job sprawling [1]. Several efforts to minimize the impact of this phenomenon have been conducted based on the previous researches. Discussion has been carried out on how to overcome this phenomenon by integrating activities into high density areas and land-use mixes in order to reduce vehicular travel [2], by considering the transportation role in combating the problems related to urban sprawl [3], by considering the provision of a public transport system at the suburban destinations for Greater Dublin Area (GDA) [4].According to [5], the urban containment strategies are some of the best-known planning instruments for managing urban sprawl. These include greenbelt and urban growth boundaries as applied in Switzerland since 1970. The strategies, particularly the boundary, have restricted development to building zones and have promoted the increase of building density.

“…Little is known about how long it takes workers and households to transition to new spatial arrangements after a workplace relocation, say, by moving house, changing to a job located elsewhere or changing schools for children. There is a risk that decentralisation can lead to higher proportion of suburb-to-suburb commutes which may entail increases in car use as more workers travel farther [9].…”

This study models the impact of the shift from a monocentric private-car-oriented city to polycentric public-transport-oriented city. Metropolitan areas have suffered traffic problems-in particular increase in travel time and travel distance. Urban expansion, population growth and road network development have led to urban sprawl in monocentric cities. In many monocentric cities, travel time and distance has steadily increased and is only expected to increase in the future. Excessive travel leads to several problems such as air pollution, noise, congestion, reduction in productive time, greenhouse emissions, and increased stress and accident rates. This study examines the interaction of land use and travel. A model was developed and calibrated to Melbourne and Riyadh conditions and used for scenario analysis. This model included two parts: a spatial model and a transport model. The scenario analysis included variations of residential and activity distribution, as well as conditions of public transport service.

This study, examined the relationship between socio-economic characteristics of the urbanities and their intra-urban mobility patterns in and across six selected cities in Osun State, Nigeria. Primary source of data for this work is the households across the cities studied. Instruments of data collection were focusing group discussion and questionnaire administered on the urban residents to investigate the socio-economic characteristics of the households and their travel patterns. Stratified sampling technique was employed to select two cities each from large, medium and small urban centres in Osun State. One percent (2133) of the households in the selected cities was systematically and randomly sampled for data collection. The resulting data were descriptively and inferentially analyzed using tables, percentages and multiple regression analysis. Analysis reveals a positive relationship between the socio-economic and travel pattern of urbanites in the cities. The study shows that about 92.5% of the variability in the observed travel pattern is explained by the socio-economic characteristics of urban residents. The study concluded with the suggestion that urban planning must be done in such a way that it will enhance effective travel pattern within and among different socio-economic groups.
