Urbanization for Everyone: Benefits of Urbanization in Indonesia’s Rural Regions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The motivation for this paper is to understand the value of urban agglomeration to rural economies in Indonesia. It has recently been argued that Indonesia has not leveraged urbanization for economic growth as effectively ... -
Inner-City Urban Redevelopment in China Metropolises and the Emergence of Gentrification: Case of Yuexiu, Guangzhou
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Gentrification is a well-known Western phenomenon involving the upgrading of urban areas, where economic forces compel the original inhabitants to be displaced by a wealthier group of people. Evidence of the gentrification ... -
Effects of Freeway Mileage-Based Toll Scheme on the Short-Range Driver’s Route Choice Behavior
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)A mileage-based toll scheme will soon be adopted by Taiwan’s freeway system to replace the current toll station–based model. This new policy will increase the travel cost to some short-range drivers, and they may therefore ... -
Tools and Strategies for Wide-Scale Bicycle Level-of-Service Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper introduces new tools and strategies to assess the perceived comfort and safety of bicycle travel across a large geographic area. The tools are based on the equation for bicycle level-of-service in a U.S. government ... -
Relationship of Walk Access Distance to Rapid Rail Transit Stations with Personal Characteristics and Station Context
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper explores the relationship of walk access distance to rapid rail transit (RRT) stations with personal characteristics and station context, specifically in regard to an operated RRT system in the city of Nanjing, ... -
Euclidean Distance Mapping and the Proposed Greenway Method in Malta
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The protection of natural areas is one of the key factors considered in the development of urban areas, which also provides significant recreational opportunities for citizens. Furthermore, these protected natural areas ... -
Study of Employee Carsharing on the University Campus
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This manuscript analyzes personal and carsharing consumption characteristics of alternative commuters of the same university in Los Angeles, California. The paper finds that: (1) one can achieve a reasonably high carsharing ... -
Revitalizing Historic Buildings through a Partnership Scheme: Innovative Form of Social Public–Private Partnership
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This paper looks at a new innovative form of social public–private partnership (PPP) introduced by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, where service providers are invited to revitalize historic buildings ... -
Urban Transformation and Institutional Policies: Case Study of Mega-Region Development in China’s Pearl River Delta
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Mega-region development has been identified as one of the top national agenda items in China. Aggressive institutional policies have been put in place to guide and encourage the formation and development of mega-regions. ... -
Experiences with Aerial Ropeway Transportation Systems in the Urban Environment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The main purpose of conventional transit systems is to serve concentrated travel patterns in urban areas, where they usually have high levels of success. Unconventional transit modes have also found success in specific ... -
Minimum Permeable Soil Area in a Sustainable Allotment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Current scientific literature reinforces the observation that there has been an increase in frequent occurrences of floods in urban areas and emphasizes that the main reason for the increase of flooding is the reaction of ... -
Capacity Analysis of Pedestrian Treatments at Large Arterial Intersections and Comparison with a Lane-Equivalent, Small Intersection Gridded Network
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Intersections of major six-lane arterial roadways and minor four-lane arterial roadways are becoming increasingly common across the United States, in part due to the proliferation of hierarchical street design. Such ... -
Estimating Mixed-Mode Urban Trail Traffic Using Negative Binomial Regression Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Data and models of nonmotorized traffic on multiuse urban trails are needed to improve planning and management of urban transportation systems. Negative binomial regression models are appropriate and useful when dependent ... -
Extent and Context of Human Health Considerations in London’s Spatial Development and Climate Action Strategy
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The protection of human health is among the original justifications for urban planning, but it is underexamined as one of the myriad benefits of planning for climate change. A conceptual content analysis of the spatial ... -
Dynamics of Urban Sprawl, Vacant Land, and Green Spaces on the Metropolitan Fringe of São Paulo, Brazil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Since the 1950s, Brazilian cities have experienced intense growth because of the country’s industrialization, and from 2001 policies aimed at the prevention of disordered urban development have been implemented. The lack ... -
LUTI Model for the Metropolitan Area of Santander
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This article presents a land use and transport interaction model (LUTI model) to simulate the overall equilibrium of an urban system. The proposed system of integrated models combines random utility theory with hedonic ... -
