ROTI Method: Evaluation of the State of the Built Environment in Finland
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)Long-term planning, efficient allocation of resources, and awareness of the future challenges of a society require comprehensive information about the state of the built environment. The objective of this study was to ... -
Implications of Transport Diversity for Quality of Life
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)Different transport stakeholders have different needs for transport infrastructure and services. Meeting the needs of stakeholders implies a tradeoff of benefits and costs between supply and demand and creates issues of ... -
Analyzing the Effect of Bicycle Facilities on Commute Mode Share over Time
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)This study employs United States census data to analyze changes in bicycle commuting between 1990 and 2000 in the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn. area. A variety of perspectives are used to understand the impact of newly created ... -
Determining the Parking Fee Using the Contingent Valuation Methodology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)Implementing new parking facilities amounts to an urban sustainable planning and development problem. A significant part of this problem is the estimation of the appropriate fee prior the new parking services go in operation. ... -
Sensitivity of the Traffic Flows in Transportation Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)Obtaining the equilibrium flows in transportation networks based on optimizing users’ cost is one of the important problems in urban transportation planning. Therefore, finding accurate equilibrium flows in a short time ... -
Development of an Inexact Fuzzy Robust Programming Model for Integrated Evacuation Management under Uncertainty
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)Evacuation management for large crowds after events involves a number of processes and factors with socioeconomic and environmental implications. These processes and factors, as well as their interactions, are associated ... -
Development of an Optimization Technique for a Potential Surface of Spatial Urban Growth Using Deterministic Modeling Methodology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)This study developed the weighted scenario method (WSM) using the analytic hierarchical process (AHP) method that can optimize the weighting value for multiple criteria to make a grid-based potential surface. The potential ... -
Conflict Analysis in Public Engagement Program of Urban Planning in Hong Kong
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)A case study describing the application of conflict analysis to a public engagement program of urban planning in Hong Kong is presented in this paper. The technique of conflict analysis is used to investigate the possible ... -
Estimating a Polycentric Urban Structure. Case Study: Urban Changes in the Stockholm Region 1991–2004
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)The aims of this paper are to empirically test and evaluate methods for describing intraurban polycentricity, and to evaluate the polycentric development with respect to the regional development plan of the Office of Urban ... -
Applying a Hybrid Scoring Methodology to Transit Site Selection
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)The greater South Florida region, well known for its diverse population, its pleasant climate, and its beaches, is no exception to traffic congestion problems. Using downtown Fort Lauderdale as a case study, this paper ... -
Factors That Influence a Jurisdiction’s Probability of Charging Impact Fees
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)Increasing limitations on property taxes, declining federal, and state investment in infrastructure, and the realization that growth should pay its own way are among the major reasons contributing to local governments’ ... -
Multiple Case Studies of the Influence of Land-Use Type on the Distribution of Uses along Urban River Greenways
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)This descriptive case study examines the influence of the land-use type on the level of use of greenways for physical activity, and is intended to inform the construction or expansion of multi-use greenway systems. Greenway ... -
Planning and Management of Urban Green Spaces in Europe: Comparative Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)The present paper analyzes and compares the current urban green space planning and management experiences of 23 European cities in order to understand the critical factors behind their success and/or failure and to obtain ... -
Farmland Values under the Influence of Urbanization: Case Study from Turkey
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)In this paper, a gravity model is used to capture urban influences in a single variable that combined urban population and distance to urban centers. The model was developed under the theory that urbanization pressures ... -
Cost Overrun and Cause in Korean Social Overhead Capital Projects: Roads, Rails, Airports, and Ports
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Changes during the life cycle of a project promote cost overrun due to cost increases, time schedule delays, and benefit shortfalls. Specifically, cost overruns are usually due to inefficient budget usage by the national ... -
Case Study and Statistical Analysis of Utility Conflicts on Construction Roadway Projects and Best Practices in Their Avoidance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Utility conflicts are unfortunately a common occurrence on many construction roadway projects. Through a combination of case studies and statistical analyses of variance, this paper examines the cost, frequency, and severity ... -
Impact of Subsidized Rental Housing Characteristics on Metropolitan Residential Satisfaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Subsidized rental housing construction projects have changed substantially in the last -
Surface- and Air-Temperature Studies in Relation to Land Use/Land Cover of Nagpur Urban Area Using Landsat 5 TM Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Continuously changing temperature trends within the urban regions are worth noticing. This paper investigates the influence of land use/ land cover (LU/LC) of an urban area on the air temperatures. Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper ... -
Procedure to Analyze the Performance of Urban Networks in Brazilian Cities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This paper intends to establish a procedure for analyzing urban road network performances, with deficient functional hierarchy. The problem occurs in many Brazilian cities, in which the capacity of the main urban network ... -
