“…The construction of transportation infrastructures is based on land as a supporting force. Changes in it can enhance accessibility, and improvements to it can shape urban spatial expansion, restructure the country's land use patterns, and motivate the advancement of particular patterns [5]. While expressways have yielded significant benefits, they have also significantly affected the ecological environment [4].…”

Road construction fragments the landscape, reduces connectivity, and drives land use changes. To our knowledge, little is known about the scope and intensity of the effects of cross-border roads on changes in land use. Here, with the land use data products provided by the US Agency for International Development’s SERVIR Mekong project, using the GIS-based spatial analysis to quantitatively analyze and compare the effects of the cross-border road on land use changes within a 30 km buffer area along the Kunming–Bangkok Highway between Laos and Thailand. The results show the following: The greater the distance was from the highway, the smaller were the overall changes in land use within the buffer zone. A comparison of the situation before and after the road was opened in 2013 revealed significant differences in the most influential land use types of agricultural expansion, i.e., from 47.07% to 52.07% (the buffer zone was 1 km). In particular, 57.32% (1381.93 ha) and 40.08% (966.46 ha) of the land occupied by forests had been converted into land for plantation and agriculture, respectively, from 2013 to 2018. The scope of the impact of the operational route on the dynamics of land use was inconsistent. The largest impact before the road became operational was within 4 km of the buffer zone (0.26 to 0.24). Once the road had been opened, the range of its impact was beyond 10 km (0.63 to 0.57). The work here can provide a scientific basis for regional transportation planning and the sustainable use of land resources.

“…Producer services are basically laid out in urban commercial and office buildings, while related research shows that [12] such buildings are usually distributed within a circle of 400∼600 m radius from the center of the metro station site. At the same time, physical traffic activities generated by the producer services mainly depend on walking travels of pedestrians within a metro station area.…”

Since impacts of rail transit on urban industries and space most obviously appear in metro station areas, correlations between the spatial distribution of producer services and urban built environment in metro station areas are studied in Xi’an, China. At first, the scope determining methods of a metro station area were separately proposed for both single-line station and multiline transfer station based on their construction and transportation modes. Then, when the producer services were divided into 6 categories of business, POI numbers of enterprises of each category in metro station areas were collected and weighted to calculate the distribution intensity for categories. Finally, on condition that the urban built environment of a metro station area included job and residence space, outdoor activity space, and municipal road space, correlation performances between the distribution intensity of categories and indexes representing 3 space elements of the built environment were calculated through second-order partial correlation analysis, while the corresponding mechanisms of correlations were explained too. The main conclusions of this paper indicate that there are significant positive correlations between the distribution intensity and the diversity index of job and residence space for most categories, whereas significant negative correlations between it and the openness index of outdoor activity space for most categories. Moreover, positive but weak correlations were appeared between the distribution intensity and the street network density index of municipal road space only for categories of intermediary consulting and leasing.

“…Moreover, the urban spatial structure could reflect the relationship among the elements of the urban physical environment, functional activities, and cultural values (Dadhich and Hanaoka 2012;Zhou and Ye 2013). Therefore, the coordination between land use and transportation system is of great significance to urban planning and comprehensive transportation planning (Roukouni, Basbas, and Kokkalis 2012;Zhou, Liu, and Wang 2018;Zhao et al 2019). The construction of metro transportation can improve the accessibility of land around the stations, changing the location conditions and built environment.…”

Metro is an important form of public transport in Shanghai. Based on the metro card data, we conduct the cluster analysis of Shanghai metro stations according to the pattern of passenger flow changing with time. Then the characteristics of travel time and surrounding land use are investigated for different types of stations to explore the relationship between urban land-use characteristics and travel activities reflected by passenger flow at metro stations. It is found that the passenger flow pattern of metro stations is closely related to the location conditions of stations and its surrounding land-use patterns. Based on various characteristics, 285 metro stations are classified into four types, including residential-oriented stations, employmentoriented stations, employment-residence-oriented stations, and integrated functionaloriented stations, reflecting the interaction between spontaneous travel behavior and urban land-use characteristics and providing a reference for optimizing the urban functional structure and the spatial allocation of facilities.
