Implementation of the EPA's Water Quality Trading Policy for Storm Water Management and Smart Growth
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)A strategy has been presented to address conflicts that may arise in implementing smart growth initiatives in the face of the growing importance given to controlling nonpoint source pollutants. These pollutants are the ... -
Proposed Alternative Delivery System to Current Governmental Housing Program in Kuwait
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)This paper presents an alternative project delivery system where there is a need for mass production of housing units while, at the same time, allowing recipients to finish the units in their own way to avoid the problem ... -
Optimal Urban Rail Transit Corridor Identification within Integrated Framework Using Geographical Information System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)This paper discusses a model for optimally aligning an urban rail transit system within an integrated framework, on a demand-oriented corridor on a city transport network, using geographical information system (GIS) tools. ... -
Is the Future of Development Regulation Based in the Past? toward a Market-Oriented, Innovation Friendly Framework
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)This paper presents an alternative framework for development review and local planning that is more open and consistent with promoting innovation in housing and land use. The current approach is a “closed system” framework, ... -
Socioeconomic Correlates and Environmental Impacts of Urban Development in a Central Indiana Landscape
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Potential driving forces and environmental impacts of urban and suburban development of rural lands were investigated in a 44-county study region located in the central portion of the state of Indiana. Land-cover dynamics ... -
Highway Noise and Land Use Compatibility
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005) -
Introducing Transit Preferential Treatment: Is a Political Maverick Necessary for Public Transportation to Innovate?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Buses, and more generally at-grade public transportation, remain the most important component of transit services in all urban areas but the steady increase in travel demand, especially in private automobiles, has resulted ... -
Sustainable Transport Planning: Estimating the Ecological Footprint of Vehicle Travel in Future Years
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)An important indicator of sustainable land use, the ecological footprint measure has proved unsuitable for many planning applications because of the limited availability of impact data at the local level of cities and ... -
Network Modeling Approach to Transit Network Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Using the Emme/2 Winnipeg demonstration data bank as an example, a practical method is described for developing and defining a multimodal transit network by using standard transport network modeling software. This method, ... -
Spatial Diffusion Modeling of New Residential Area for Land-Use Planning of Rural Villages
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)In this paper, a spatial diffusion model that can be applied to village development projects was developed with the expansion of a rural village taken into consideration, from the viewpoint of practical application with ... -
Locational Determinants of Foreign Investors in Istanbul
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)The fact that relationships at global levels have increased necessitates redefinition of the roles of nations, regions, and metropolitan areas. In recent years, during the economic transportation process experienced on a ... -
Land Use Zoning and Human Diversity: Exploring the Connection
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)City planners are rallying against social and economic segregation by enacting regulatory changes, particularly zoning reform. Land use zoning, many argue, is one of the most potent tools planners have to enact change in ... -
Computer-Simulated Pedestrian Behavior in Shopping Environment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)There are as many distinct shopping itineraries in a shopping center as there are shoppers, at some level of discrimination; yet clear patterns of flow and volume can be observed in aggregate movement over the network of ... -
Development of an Areal Elderly Migration Model Considering Spatial Interaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)An areal elderly migration model (AEMM) was developed to assess the demand of regional development projects targeted towards elderly people. The AEMM was theoretically developed with adaptation of the gravity model to ... -
Mode Biases of Urban Transportation Policies in China and Their Implications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Urban transportation in China has experienced several major eras. The automobile is going to soon invade every corner of urban China with increasing taxi services and private automobile ownership at explosive rates. However, ... -
Review of Optimal Transit Subsidies: Comparison between Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Establishing appropriate subsidies for transit systems is essential to determine levels of investment and operations budgets for such systems. Transit subsidies vary significantly among cities around the world, generally ... -
Residential Development Pattern and Intraneighborhood Infrastructure Provision
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)This paper examines the relationship between residential development pattern and intraneighborhood infrastructure provision based on a case study of the cities in Story County, Iowa. The dataset consists of 16,331 residential ... -
Use of Greenway Trails in Indiana
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)The quality of existing data about the use of urban trails is poor, and planners need better data to plan new trails and manage existing ones. This note presents descriptive analyses of pedestrian and bicycle traffic counts ... -
Schedule Coordination in a Multiple Hub Transit Network
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)The timed transfer concept, which seeks to schedule vehicles from various routes to arrive at some transfer stations simultaneously (or nearly so), can significantly improve service quality in transit networks. It has been ... -
Sustainable Operation and Maintenance of Urban Infrastructure: Myth or Reality?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)It has become increasingly apparent that a paradoxical situation is emerging with respect to urban services in less developed countries. On the one hand a huge demand for urban infrastructure has resulted from rapid ...
