“…Safe walking and cycling can be more attractive options for urban travelers than crowded, dangerous and costly streets that are used by private vehicles (Asadi-Shekari et al, 2013a;Asadi-Shekari et al, 2013b andAsadi-Shekari et al, 2014;Asadi-Shekari and Zaly Shah, 2011). Increasing the number of journeys to work by bicycle and foot may decrease the use of other travel modes.…”

“…Advanced asset management methods require LOS to be defined using measurable gauges that can be monitored through established performance indicators (Asset Management BC, 2011). LOS has been used in the infrastructure management of core municipal infrastructure classes (e.g., water supply systems (Han et al, 2015), transportation infrastructure (Asadi-Shekari, Moeinaddini, & Shah, 2012;L. Zhao, Bian, Rong, Liu, & Shu, 2016) etc.)…”

Even though there is a large body of knowledge related to buildings, only a limited number of examples with a focus on asset management exist in published literature. More importantly, current literature lacks rating systems that support tactical and operational management of building infrastructure. This paper addresses the aforementioned knowledge gap and building industry requirement by proposing an index for operational management of a public building using building level of service (LOS). In the context of buildings, LOS is defined as an assessment of the operational performance provided to building users, society, and the environment. A fuzzy synthetic evaluation (FSE)-based method was used to assess the LOS of buildings. First, key performance categories and indicators were defined for operating building performance assessment. Indicators and benchmarks were customized for an aquatic centre building. A case study was conducted to demonstrate the application of the LOS index. Results from this approach provides an assessment of the operational performance of the aquatic centre building with respect to nine LOS performance categories. Overall building LOS was evaluated as good for the three pseudo scenarios considered. The proposed LOS index facilitates asset management of public buildings by providing information for operational, tactical, and strategic decision making.

“…Adequate urban planning paradigm and comprehensive strategies that encourage green travel modes and decline private motorized usage are utilized in various communities to decrease private car trips (Asadi-Shekari et al, 2012). Land use, street network, public transport and private motorized are main indicators that in uence travel behavior besides socio-economic factors.…”

Abstract:Neighborhoods with similar design may have di erent travel behavior due to the impacts of socio-economic indicators. ere are also some e ective indicators such as residents' income, age, and self-selection factors related to this case that cannot be evaluated easily, which question the reliability of previous e orts to describe the e ects of private motorized trips indicators on car usage universally. On the other hand, private motorized trips indicators are e ective factors that in uence travel behavior but these indicators have not been evaluated in considerable studies. is paper introduces a multiple-linear regression analysis to estimate the relationship of private motorized trips indicators and car usage in various cities in di erent parts of the world with various socio-economic contexts. So, the results of this study are reliable enough to illustrate this relationship with international scale. e signi cant private motorized trips factors are also identi ed in this research for being utilized in car reduction strategies in urban areas.
