AN ANALYTIC FRAME FOR ANALYSIS OF CAR TRIP ATTRACTIONS BY LAND USE TYPES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES; A TOOL FOR ASSESSMENT OF UNPLANNED URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Unplanned conversion of land use activity types into attractive ones, i.e. adaptive reuse, creates traffic problems in developing countries cities. Lacking the tools to predict generated traffic local authorities issues permits of conversion without impact assessment. An analytic frame for in-depth analysis and modeling of a car trip attractions by land use type is proposed. Examples of its application in Cairo are given with comparisons with US cities trip rates. Impact studies procedure that considers the effect of adaptive reuse on traffic and the environment is suggested leading to denial of authorization or estimation of impact fees that should be borne by activity developers as licensing condition if the impact is tolerable.
