MIXED LAND USE AND TRANSPORT ENERGY: DEFINING THE CONNECTION. DEMONSTRATION AND MONITORING OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT ENERGY POLICIES - NATIONAL ENERGY RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM; END OF GRANT REPORT
Various indexes which can measure land use interspersion are developed. Fremantle, WA is shown to have a very high level of land use mixing and the lowest energy consumption of liquid fuels for transport of the suburbs examined. Statistically, there is a significant inverse relationship between land use mixing (measured in terms of interspersion) and transport energy use particularly when density levels are taken into consideration. This finding has important implications for planning for energy conservation (A). This is also Murdoch University. School of Environmental and Biological Life Sciences Transport Research Paper, No: 1/88.
