(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper examines the daily activity-travel behavior of undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and staff at a large university to better understand their activity travel demands for automobile, active ... -
Urban Development Model and Municipal Fiscal Burden in Spain
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Several studies have addressed the causes of urban sprawl, but consequences have been less studied in the literature. Therefore this paper considers the measurement of the effect that urban development model has on municipal ... -
Predicting the Monetary Value of Office Property Post Renovation Work
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Recently, the construction industry has experienced an increase in the volume of renovation work aimed at improving the physical and economic performance of buildings. However, owners often hesitate to execute renovation ... -
Postsocialist Restructuring of City Subcenters and the Role of Shopping Centers in Nis, Serbia
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Although the postsocialist construction of large shopping facilities had significant implications on the urban structure of Central and Eastern European cities, the complex spatial, functional, and social relations between ... -
Development of Level of Service Criteria for Evaluation of Bicycle Suitability
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A bicycle is one of the key modes of transport in small Indian cities, where two-thirds of all trips are made by either bicycle or by walking. Despite having a substantial bicycle share, none of these cities have safe ... -
Relationship between Urban Transport and Residential Location Choice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents a fuzzy three-objective optimization model to study the relationship between residential location choice and urban transport in a city. In the proposed model, the fuzzy objectives are minimizing the ... -
