City Economical Function and Industrial Development: Case Study along the Railway Line in North Xinjiang in China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)The area along the North Xinjiang Railway (ANXR) is the region with industry concentration and is the most convenient communication region in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. There are nine cities and eight counties ... -
“Demand of Participants” or “Supply of Opportunities”: Measuring Accessibility of Activity Places Based on Time Geographic Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)People participate in various activity places in leading their livelihood pattern (raising family, working, shopping, recreation, socializing, etc.) to have services/opportunities within their reach. Activity in urban ... -
Multiscale Analysis of Census-Based Land Surface Temperature Variations and Determinants in Indianapolis, United States
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This study utilized remote sensing and geographic information system data to perform a multiple scale analysis of urban heat island (UHI) at Indianapolis, United States. Land surface temperature (LST) data derived from a ... -
Induced Travel Demand in Developing Countries: Study on State Highways in Turkey
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Induced travel demand is a critical phenomenon for developing countries because neither road network nor the vehicle ownership have reached their contended phases. This leads to the opinion that induced demand is valid for ... -
Factors Affecting Urban Renewal in High-Density City: Case Study of Hong Kong
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Hong Kong is well known for its high-density form of development. Such form of development is shaped either by new development or urban renewal, which is a major tactic nowadays adopted by the Hong Kong Government to improve ... -
Linking Transportation Planning to Program Implementation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This study developed measures of effectiveness (MOEs) to quantify the influence of recommendations from a long-range transportation plan (LRTP) on the implementation of projects in a statewide transportation program. MOEs ... -
Off-Street Parking Regulations for Shopping Facilities: Potential Impacts and Scope of Implementation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Curbing continuing car traffic growth in urban areas is often considered to be a role for urban political leaders. Some legal, financial, and organizational instruments to counteract car traffic have been approved in many ... -
Data Reuse Methods for Transportation Planning in Small- and Medium-Sized Towns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Small and medium sized towns often lack resources for the data collection required by many transportation planning methods. In many cases, though, data from a regional or national source may be transferred to the small ... -
Metabolism of Neighborhoods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Analysis of urban metabolism has been established as an appropriate approach for assessing the sustainability of cities. A desirable next step is to use the metabolism as a guide to -

Using Virtual Environment Technology to Improve Public Participation in Urban Planning Process
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)This paper explores the use of virtual environment (VE) technology in urban planning. The case we select is that of public engagement with the process of government, which in its traditional form suffers from several ... -
Impact of Transit-Pass Ownership on Daily Number of Trips Made by Urban Public Transit
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)This paper investigates the factors influencing the decision to own a monthly transit pass and the impact ownership of the pass has on the daily number of trips individuals make by urban transit. Monthly transit pass owners ... -
Evaluating Urban Downtown One-Way to Two-Way Street Conversion Using Multiple Resolution Simulation and Assignment Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)There is a developing trend to change the flow configuration in urban downtown or central business districts (CBD) from one way to two way. However, it has been difficult to reasonably estimate the traffic flow resulting ... -
Impact of Transportation and Other Jurisdictional-Level Infrastructure and Services on Housing Prices
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)The existing literature, while estimating the impact of infrastructure and services, has tended to treat the housing market as homogeneous. This paper adds to the extant literature by systematically estimating the impact ... -
