| Abstract |
This study aims to synthesize urban spatial structure, mass transit systems, and land use related to district unit planning into a transit-oriented corridor (TOC) model in order to realize green cities. Expanding upon transit-oriented development (TOD), the TOC further overcomes dependence on automobiles by incorporating various land uses within 400 to 600m of mass transit routes through planning mixed and middle to high density buildings, in addition to pedestrian and bike-friendly streets into a corridor. This study focuses on a 9km mass transit corridor passing through Anyang City, encompassing a region of 400m in order to test a parallel application of mixed-use development and the TOC planning model. The results of the analysis indicate that after applying the model, ridership would increase from 3.5 to 5.9% and that energy consumed for transportation would decrease by 161,000 to 292,800 kl. Furthermore, the city would enjoy a reduction of CO2 emissions from 402 to 731 thousand tons along with an increase in economic activity of 2.2 to 3.9 billion USD. |
