Quantifying the Accessibility of Urban Development Proposals: Moving Towards Sustainability in Urban Growth and Renewal

改善可达性，特别是通过非汽车运输方式，是交通、环境和土地利用政策的明确目标。要测试的假设是，有可能制定一种措施来评估任何拟议的城市发展的潜力，无论是新的城市增长还是城市更新/填充项目，以实现人们所追求的旅行行为的变化，从而使城市发展朝着可持续的方向发展。该提案开发了一个基于地理信息系统的决策支持系统，该系统将可达性作为土地利用发展提案的一个属性，而不是作为运输系统的一个属性。

Improved accessibility, particularly by non-automobile transport modes, is an explicit goal in transport, environment, and land use policies. The hypothesis to be tested is that it is possible to develop a measure to assess the potential of any proposed urban development, whether it be new urban growth or an urban renewal/in-fill project, to achieve sought after changes in travel behaviour that will move urban development in sustainable directions. The proposal develops a GIS-based decision-support system that uses accessibility as an attribute of a land use development proposal rather than as an attribute of the transport system.
