Designing a Flexible Feeder Transit System Serving Irregularly Shaped and Gated Communities: Determining Service Area and Feeder Route Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper presents a mathematical model to design the appropriate service area and routing plans for a flexible feeder transit system serving irregularly shaped and gated communities. Given the fleet size and travel times ... -
Brownfields As an Element of Green Infrastructure for Implementing Ecosystem Services into Urban Areas
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Vegetation-covered urban brownfields provide a number of ecosystem services to help tackle current urban challenges, such as preventing a loss of biodiversity, adapting to climate change, and fostering recreational and ... -
Land Use, Land Cover, and Population Density Impact on the Formation of Canopy Urban Heat Islands through Traverse Survey in the Nagpur Urban Area, India
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper discusses an observational study that explored the impact of land use/land cover, and population density on the formation of canopy UHI in Nagpur. The study aims to compare the canopy UHI hotspots and heat sinks ... -
Special Issue on Green Infrastructure for Urban Sustainability

Spatial Proximity and Dependency to Model Urban Travel Demand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Link level annual average daily traffic (AADT) or travel demand is used in several urban planning, roadway design, operational, and safety analyses by transportation planners and engineers. Existing AADT estimation methods ... -
Aggregated Metro Trip Patterns in Urban Areas of Hong Kong: Evidence from Automatic Fare Collection Records
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The automatic fare collection (AFC) system incorporating smart card technology is widely used in transportation systems for revenue management, but the data from this could be mined for wide-ranging applications. This paper ... -
Process Modeling for Urban Growth Simulation with Cohort Component Method, Cellular Automata Model and GIS/RS: Case Study on Surrounding Area of Seoul, Korea
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This study developed a process model that includes three steps for urban growth simulation. A preprocessing step is required to classify three satellite images acquired in 1990, 2000, and 2009 into six land-use types using ... -
Developing Affordable and Sustainable Housing through Energy, Transport, and Building Utility Integration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Housing affordability and sustainable development are not polarized ideologies as both are necessary with increasing urbanization. Researchers must bridge the gap between current median house pricing and target affordable ... -
Assessment of Institutions in Sustainable Urban-Management Effects on Sustainable Development of Tehran: Learning from a Developing Country
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Land-use patterns are important to urban planning and management and face challenges from market forces, government, and local urban management in Iran. This research examines the problems arising from such issues in the ... -
GIS-Based Framework for Supporting Land Use Planning in Urban Renewal: Case Study in Hong Kong
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Land use planning plays an important role in achieving sustainable urban development. One of the problems planners frequently encounter is the absence of an integrated quantitative approach to assessing land-use suitability ... -
Driving Forces of Landscape Fragmentation due to Urban Transportation Networks: Lessons from Fujian, China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The study of landscape fragmentation offers promising approaches for better understanding how the interaction between natural conditions and socioeconomic factors generates environmental changes. In this paper, the state ... -
Analysis of Walking Speeds Involving Individuals with Disabilities in Different Indoor Walking Environments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Walking facilities are important infrastructures in communities. These facilities should be designed to accommodate the needs of all types of pedestrians. Unfortunately, existing design guidelines fail to offer adequate ... -
Quantitative Delimitation of Urban Influential Hinterland in China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Urban influential hinterland reflects the relationships between urban centers and their peripheral regions. However, existing urban influence hinterland delimitation models are inadequate to explain and analyze the ... -
Avian Abundance Patterns in Relation to the Distribution of Small Urban Greenspaces
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Small urban greenspaces, such as neighborhood parks and private gardens, have often been overlooked or considered unlikely habitat sources owing to their small size, even though they may still provide important nesting and ... -
Prioritizing Pedestrian Corridors Using Walkability Performance Metrics and Decision Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Recent sustainability initiatives have shown that targeting pedestrian infrastructure improvement programs can enhance walkability and reduce traffic volume. Smart growth planning supports the need not only to build ... -
Potential of Carpooling among Unfamiliar Users: Case of Undergraduate Students at Istanbul Technical University
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper analyzes the passenger-carpooling potential among undergraduate students using a model for estimating choice based on combined revealed and stated preference data. The data are obtained from a survey performed ... -
