Relationship between Immigrant Settlement Patterns and Transit Use in the Greater Toronto Area
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)Much of the research on immigrants has centered on their economic assimilation or integration. Few scholarly articles have examined the impact that immigrants have on the transportation system, especially those immigrants ... -
Neighborhood Walkability in a City within a Developing Country
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)Walking has an important role in improving public health. In the last decade, there has been a growing body of literature in public health, transportation, and urban design, which has analyzed the role of the built environment ... -
Parametric Study of Pedestrian Speeds at Midblock Crossings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)The speed of pedestrians is a major issue in the design and provision of pedestrian facilities. Pedestrians’ speed while crossing a road depends on various characteristics related to pedestrians, traffic, and physical ... -
Getting Drivers to Switch: Transit Price and Service Quality among Commuters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)This manuscript examines employees’ participation in a free and discounted try-transit program called “Dump the Pump” (DtP) in Los Angeles, California. DtP offered eligible employee drivers a 12-week free transit pass and ... -
Exploring Reciprocal Influence between Individual Shopping Travel and Urban Form: Agent-Based Modeling Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)A large and still growing body of literature links urban form and individual travel behavior. It is claimed that certain urban forms, such as mixed land use, can reduce transportation needs for both work and nonwork trips. ... -

New Spatial Strategy in China: Major Function Zoning of Beijing-Tianjin Metropolitan Area with Perspective from Ecological Economics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)Responding to contemporary environmental problems and to unbalanced regional development in China, major function zoning (MFZ) has been considered a new spatial strategy. This study attempts to explore the quantitative ... -
Quantitative Analysis of Urban Expansion Using RS and GIS, A Case Study in Lanzhou
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)Urbanization has changed the pattern of urban landscapes and the natural landscape. Evaluations of the spatial and temporal changes of the urban landscape pattern could support the urban expansion analysis commendably. ... -
Challenges and Strategies for Greening the Compact City of Hong Kong
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)A compact city is a special urban form with inherent physical, social, and institutional constraints on greenery that obstruct the achievement of sustainability. In this study, Hong Kong is used as a case to assess the ... -
Estimating Household Trip Rates for Cross-Classification Cells with No Data: Alternative Methods and Their Performance in Prediction of Travel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)This paper investigates a number of alternative methods for addressing the empty-cell problem of traditional cross-classification analysis. Data used in the study were collected in the Toronto region in 1986, 1996, 2001, ... -
Community Question in Transitional China, a Case Study of State-Led Urbanization in Shanghai
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)The community question, referring to the transformation of social networks when rural residents move into urban areas, has been extensively debated by urbanists and sociologists in Western countries. This paper, focusing ... -
Does the Academic Rank Matter? Study on the Trip Preferences of Academicians from Different Ranks Employed at Istanbul Technical University
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)This study estimates a stratified multinomial logit mode choice model of the trip preferences of academicians employed at the Ayazaga campus of Istanbul Technical University. The mode choice model contains three alternatives ... -
Integrated Urban Land-Use Planning Based on Improving Ecosystem Service: Panyu Case, in a Typical Developed Area of China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)In urban areas, the requirements of social, economic, and ecological sustainable development are usually intertwined with the problems of land-use intransigence, fragmentation, and deterioration of quality of natural ... -
Commuting from U.S. Brownfield and Greenfield Residential Development Neighborhoods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)Whereas brownfield development is of widespread interest, there is scant literature on the environmental impacts of brownfield developments relative to conventional developments. We assembled a set of two residential ... -
Traffic Generated by Mixed-Use Developments—Six-Region Study Using Consistent Built Environmental Measures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)Current methods of traffic impact analysis, which rely on rates and adjustments from the Institute of Transportation Engineers, are believed to understate the traffic benefits of mixed-use developments (MXDs), leading to ... -
Bicycle Master Plan for Adana, Turkey
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The study is based on developing a bikeway master plan by determining the utility of bicycle routes, assessing their contributions to urban transportation, their effect on individual and social leisure time activities, and ... -
Application of UrbanSim to the Austin, Texas, Region: Integrated-Model Forecasts for the Year 2030
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)This work describes the modeling of Year 2030 land-use patterns of the Austin, Texas region by using UrbanSim, an open-source model for microscopic simulation of land development, location choices, and land values at fine ... -
Longitudinal Model of Longer-Term Mobility Decisions: Framework and First Empirical Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)Recent advances in integrated land use and transport modeling have included a shift from aggregate-level modeling to disaggregate, household-level modeling. One potential advantage of this shift is that interdependencies ... -
