Abstract |
This study aims to conduct an empirical analysis on the characters of commuting modes by residential types. The efforts to plan high density residential developments near by mass transportation facilities would be considered to increase the possibilities of public transportation. Previous studies have shown that residents in apartment and mixed use complex close to subway stations exhibited higher probability of using the facilities. The differences on housing types, however, has not been dealt with former researches, although urban planners and designers choose one of the types and/or mixed them in transit oriented development plan. With in-depth survey, this article could find that only the residents of multi-family housing type present the relationship between the uses and the accessibility to public transportation facilities such as subway station and bus stop. People living in the other housing types in the survey do not exhibit the relationship. The finding could give the basic understanding the urban planners and designers who deal with planning close to public transportation facilities in TOD(transit oriented development) consideration. |
