INTEGRATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS INTO THE METHODOLOGY OF GENERAL TRANSPORT PLANNING. PLANNING MANUAL 'ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT'

UMWELT, FLAECHENNUTZUNG, VERKEHR - BEWERTUNGEN IN DER STAEDTISCHEN VERKEHRSPLANUNG

The reported study is part of an overall project which had the objective of examining algorithms of and model approaches to general processes of transport planning, of defining criteria for the assessment of transport planning measures, of determining measurable quantitities for these criteria, and of developing a synoptic assessment procedure, with the ultimate purpose of preparing a manual with instructions for concrete cases of computation. The methods relate to areas of urban planning of varying size and scale. They are primarily based on the traffic on working days. The impact of traffic is illustrated by means of four spheres of assessment, namely regional planning/land use, transport, environment and costs, with the main emphasis of the planning manual lying on the impact on the environment. The manual contains concrete instructions for the performance of the various activities required. The suitable procedure is described by means of examples. The feasibility of the method has been proven for two different areas of application (the cities of Dortmund and Wolfsburg).
