TRANSPORT, LAND-USE AND THE ENVIRONMENT. CHAPTER 11: SPATIAL IMPACT OF ROAD IMPROVEMENT IN THE SUBURBAN RECREATIONAL AREA

This chapter describes the development of a method for quantifying the impacts of accessibility change on land use development and the consequent reduction of green areas in suburban areas. A method of confirmative factor analysis is adopted for identifying the causalities among accessibility change, recreational attractiveness and the change of green conservation level. A theoretical model which includes the travellers' demand for natural green and the developers' strategy related to the conservation or development of green areas is proposed and is used for assessing the impact of transport improvements. For the covering abstract see IRRD 883195.
