“…Today, many studies use MCDM as a promising tool together with GIS, since most spatial problems are multi-criteria problems [4,5,7,12]. For instance, Singh et al [12] utilized the MCDM method to determine the weights of TOD's indicators and to aggregate them for the development of a TOD index; in another study, Babakan et al [4] used the MCDM method to aggregate people's priorities in selecting their settlements and to choose the best location for them to live in. In this study, we therefore use MCDM and GIS.…”

“…For instance, land uses affect travel demand, while transportation networks have a prominent impact on the patterns of land use [8][9][10]. Therefore, transportation and land use should be considered in relation to one another, as a way of efficiently addressing urban planning from the perspective of sustainable development [7,11,12]. Sustainable development helps urban planners in managing infrastructures intellectually and in supporting economic, social, and environmental objectives in a city [13,14].…”

“…Additionally, the TOD concept uses several scales, which show its multi-scale character [23,24]. In order to achieve an efficient and comprehensive result, the TOD concept should be conducted on a region or a city, rather than on a specific distance around the public transit stations [6,12,25,26]. This approach, which is known as TOD planning, computes TOD levels over all areas.…”

Sustainable development is regarded as a pivotal factor for smart urban planning. Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is a well-known land use transportation integration (LUTI) planning method, which can fulfill sustainable development objectives. In this study, a new spatial index is developed to measure TOD levels in neighborhoods of Tehran, the capital of Iran. To develop the TOD index, several criteria and indicators are first computed using spatial analyses, before being aggregated using a fuzzy-analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy-AHP). The fuzzy-AHP method generates three types of factor maps: that are optimistic, pessimistic, and moderate. This process evaluates the sensitivity of the TOD index by determining the indicators' weights from various views, or perspectives. The results of this sensitivity analysis show the robustness of results from various views. Furthermore, in order to assess the efficiency of the proposed method, the moderate TOD-level map is compared with both the level of public transit services and trip attraction in neighborhoods. This comparison shows that the TOD map has an accuracy of 77 percent in urban modeling, which verifies the efficiency of the proposed method for measuring TOD.
