Land Use and Transport Integration to Promote Pedestrian Accessibility in the Proximity of Mass Transit Stations

Bangkok and its vicinity encounter traffic problems and air pollution that has been aggravating its situation due to traffic jams and high-density buildings in urban areas. Due to the previous development plan, the area is not aligned with the needs of area development particularly the accessibility problem. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish the area around the station of 500 m from the centroid of each station. The design factors which were considered in this study include; design, diversity, density, destination and accessibility. The classification of destination in the different stations was performed by using statistical analysis to distinguish the group of stations by using Cluster analysis. The average of all cases was compared among all pairs and analyzed from a Dendrogram. The result was classified into six groups which represented the main activity of the residential area, the mixed-use area, commercial area, recreation area, central area, and the government center. It is an approach to the development around station areas following their context to alleviate traffic congestion with reducing air pollution to achieve sustainable development and promote activities surrounding transit stations.
