AN EVALUATION OF URBAN AND TRANSPORT POLICY USING A LAND-USE/TRANSPORT INTERACTION MODEL

This paper developed a practical land-use/transport interaction model based on urban economic theory and has implemented it to analyze the changes in accessibility resulting from transportation improvement. It has also analyzed whether such changes lead to a concentration or dispersion of population and industrial activities in a location, finding that transportation improvements do lead to a concentration of population and industrial activities within a certain district. The results also suggest that the interaction between transportation and land-use must be considered in the planning process, both corroboratively and theoretically. In particular, the results of the simulation showed that transportation improvements may increase the cost of travel because of the interaction between transportation and land-use, that is, induced traffic. In addition, the paper demonstrated that improving the efficiency of road-network usage should be taken into account, as there is a considerable reduction effect with regard to the travel costs, the reduction effect for CO2 emission amounts is high, and the travel costs with road-building could increase due to the interaction between transportation and land-use.
