Transportation/Land-Use Relationship: Public Transit's Impact on Land Use
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Developing a richer understanding of the transportation/land-use relationship remains critical to the transportation and land-use planning professions. This paper reflects on this relationship, with particular emphasis on ... -
Traffic Noise in Kuwait: Profiles and Modeling Residents' Perceptions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Measurements of traffic noise at the edge of traffic lanes and at distances equivalent to residence locations, and traffic flow variables for nine freeway/arterial/collector roadway locations in Kuwait are presented. The ... -
Feng Shui and Its Impacts on Land and Property Developments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Although there are many variables affecting the housing price of an area, only three significant independent variables (“Feng Shui,” “Accessibility,” and “Building Age”) are studied in this paper. It is found that the ... -
Evaluation of Models to Forecast External-External Trip Percentages
