Application of Strategic Environmental Assessment to Eco-Industrial Parks: Raibano Case in Italy
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Environmental issues are considered increasingly more important in the field of industrial production, especially in the early stages of the planning processes: Eco-industrial parks seem to be effective planning models to ... -
Simulation-Based Analysis of Road-Pricing Prospects for Athens, Greece
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The objective of this paper is to explore the potential future use of road pricing for Athens, Greece. Road-pricing schemes are surveyed, focusing primarily on the European experience, and are used to contribute to the ... -
Evaluation of Bus Rapid Transit Implementation in China: Current Performance and Progress
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper evaluates the physical characteristics, technical performance, and operational issues associated with bus rapid transit (BRT) systems implemented in 13 Chinese cities. BRT systems in China have shown medium ... -
Assessing Walkability in the City of Buffalo: Application of Agent-Based Simulation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Significant research has been conducted on how environmental attributes influence people’s decisions to walk. In much of this research, however, environmental attributes are averaged for neighborhoods or census geographies ... -
Mode Shift Behavior Impacts from the Introduction of Metro Service: Case Study of Xi’an, China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Xi’an, as a typical inland city in China with a worse integrated transport system, has promoted the use of metro service to ease serious traffic congestion. This paper uses a logistic regression model to examine mode shifts ... -
Assessing the Transportation Needs of Low-Mobility Individuals: Case Study of a Small Urban Community in Utah
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Older adults, low-income individuals, and individuals with disabilities are generally considered “low-mobility” individuals, having less access to transportation options and often marginalized in the social environment of ... -
Students’ Tendency to Walk to School: Case Study of Tehran
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The recent decrease in physical activity among youth, which has resulted in increasing obesity and in overweight individuals, has attracted global attention and a renewed sense of investigation in both public and academic ... -
Municipal Spending in Spain: Spatial Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper provides, for the first time, an insight into the influence of urban, political, demographic, and economic factors on several categories of municipal spending, after controlling for the spatial effects. The ... -

Effects of Visual Indicators on Landscape Preferences
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Many previous works suggested that visual indicators could be used to predict landscape preferences. Most works, however, judged the visual indicators by a subjective method, which was criticized for lack of standardization ... -
Accessibility and Centrality for Sustainable Mobility: Regional Planning Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Accessibility is a widely discussed theme, approached by several disciplines, such as geography, urban and land-use planning, and transportation. This study assesses the relevance of accessibility for sustainable mobility ... -
Integrating an Agent-Based Travel Behavior Model with Large-Scale Microscopic Traffic Simulation for Corridor-Level and Subarea Transportation Operations and Planning Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Application of microscopic traffic simulation beyond the corridor level analysis is not widely seen in literature. This is partly because of the fact that a simulation model cannot capture behavior responses such as peak ... -
Using Construction Expansion Regulation Zones to Manage Urban Growth in Hefei City, China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The management of urban land development, as well as the conservation and optimization of agricultural land and urban green space, is crucial for sustainable urban development. China has experienced rapid urbanization and ... -
Sustainable Development Planning of Protected Areas near Cities: Case Study in China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The regional level is believed to be an important platform to carry out sustainable development (SD) strategies. In China, the rapid urbanization process causes city expansions. To protect environmentally sensitive areas ... -
Relationship between Morphological Characteristics and Land-Use Intensity: Empirical Analysis of Shanghai Development Zones
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)In recent years, macro- and mesoresearches on urban morphology have started, but microscopic morphology of development zones is still a neglected area. In this paper, the GIS spatial analysis method is used to undertake ... -
Improved Partial Linearization Algorithm for Solving the Combined Travel-Destination-Mode-Route Choice Problem
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Combined travel demand models (CTDM) that integrate trip generation, trip distribution, modal split, and traffic assignment have been developed to resolve the inconsistency problem between the level-of-service and flow ... -
Automatic Street Surface Modeling for Web-Based Urban Information Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The growing demand for virtual urban models in emerging areas of interest has promoted a variety of techniques for automating the creation of virtual scenes with a high level of realism. However, visualization is not always ... -
Determining Viable Sizes for Indiana Communities Based on Essential Establishments and Services
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The percentage of Americans living in urban areas increases every year. This movement of people away from rural areas can reduce economic activity and lower quality of life in small communities. Because of the subjectivity ... -
Assessment of Spatial Dependence Using Spatial Autoregression Models: Empirical Analysis of Shopping Center Space Supply in Ohio
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Trade area (TA) analyses are useful for selecting the highest and best-use sites for shopping center investments and identification of the level of shopping center impact on existing retail, transportation, housing, and ... -
Multiuse Trails: Benefits and Concerns of Residents and Property Owners
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Multiuse trail development has experienced rapid growth in the United States and many other countries. These trails are said to benefit local residents and stimulate economies, and in some cases are they are tourist ...
