“…The effect of the location was negative, indicating that the efficiency scores decreased with increases in the distance from the city center. The result is in line with those of recent studies [83,95,96]. For the population density variable, the efficiency scores increased as the population density increased.…”

This study describes a new assessment model framework, termed the driving forces-pressure-state-impact-policy and pattern (DPSIP) model, for environmental change efficiency in urban land development, based on urban sustainable development and the theory of economic efficiency evaluation. A spatial and measurable efficiency value is defined for environmental changes in urban land development, which provides a comprehensive evaluation index for the efficiency of urban development and its environmental impact. This type of urban interior sustainability is considered new within the context of global environmental changes. We identify nine important indicators to evaluate the relative efficiency of 233 neighborhoods in Tainan, Taiwan. The results indicate that the average environmental change efficiency is 89.44%, which shows clear spatial differentiation. The key indicators affecting the efficiency score are area, population density, location, mixed land uses, the floor area ratio, and the impervious ratio. In the future, urban design can reduce environmental impacts and enhance efficiency values.

“…Throughout the 20th Century, this urban structure was weakened by the creation of several car-orientated 'new towns' in the surrounds of city during the 1960s which were designed to facilitate car-use (NTA, 2011;Vega and Reynolds-Feighan, 2008). Yet, employment remained heavily centralised until the 1990s and 2000s when significant decentralisation of jobs and services occurred along with rapid residential expansion across the urban region (Vega and Reynolds-Feighan, 2008;Murphy, 2012). During this transition, radial travel reduced while inter-suburban, crosscity and reverse commuting became more common, which promoted increasing reliance on the private car (Browne et al, 2011;Murphy, 2012).…”

A B S T R A C T This paper examines if residential self-selection can be observed in the population of the Greater Dublin Area and analyses the interactions that occur between travel choices and household location decisions. The research is based on data collected through a postal survey issued in April 2014.The paper outlines the differences observed in travel behaviour across contrasting land-use areas; with the findings showing higher use of sustainable modes for residents of denser, mixed-use urban areas with greater public transport options. Travel-based residential self-selection is a contributory factor to modal split characteristics but not to an extent that would invalidate the positive role of land-use measures in promoting sustainable travel. The study found that while transport is an important factor in choosing where to live, it is not the primary factor for all residents and its role is dependent on the characteristics of the respondent involved.The key conclusion is that residential self-selection does not occur to such an extent that it is more important than land-use factors in determining modal-split characteristics. However, it remains a significant contributory factor for certain populations when sustainable modes are considered. The paper highlights the importance of taking self-selection tendencies and housing characteristics into account when creating land-use-transport policies to reduce car dependency and discusses the role of the urban region in producing self-selection behaviour.

“…Regardless, the restructuring of land use patterns remains a concern, particularly as it relates to an excessive reliance on the highway system to avail citizens of access to jobs, housing and urban services. During the last five decades, the construction of a massive highway infrastructure has resulted in the decentralization of population and jobs, the creation of a polycentric urban form (Shukla & Waddell, 1991), and the appearance of auto-advantaged suburbs (Modarres, 2011), a pattern similarly observed in non-American urban settings, such as Ireland (Murphy, 2012). In this paper, we will illustrate how, under such spatial logic, the location of firms is hardly determined by where employees live, but rather by mobility and accessibility advantages provided by the transportation infrastructure, mainly the freeways.…”
