Influence of traffic accessibility on land use based on Landsat imagery and internet map: A case study of the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration

Abstract

Taking the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration, with its rapid economic and social development and dramatic changes in land use, as an example with which to conduct this research, this paper analyzes the influence of traffic accessibility on land use and socioeconomic development by using Internet maps, points of interest (POI), and data about land use and socioeconomic development. The results of this study are as follows: (1) the calculation results of traffic accessibility can reflect the real situation because spatial distribution has an obvious feature of circle-like structure, and the development level of each township has high consistency; (2) major change characteristics in land use are that cultivated and forest lands are decreasing, and construction land is increasing, and it is obvious that the increase of construction land is featured by spatial autocorrelation and clusters of construction areas along the city borders; (3) traffic accessibility has a significant impact on land use status and changes and socioeconomic development, while the number of facilities has weak impact on land use, which is a reflection of advanced infrastructure in the urban agglomeration; and (4) the construction of transport infrastructure promotes the transformation of land use from water to construction land, therefore, more emphasis should be placed on protecting the river system in future infrastructure construction so as to improve the ecological benefits in the river basin.

Traffic accessibility and the coupling degree of ecosystem services supply and demand in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River urban agglomeration, China

“…The improvement of traffic conditions can promote the agglomeration of various production factors and the development of the local economy, thus reshaping the regional spatial structure (Voss and Chi, 2006;Chi, 2010;Ge et al, 2021). For example, the increase in traffic accessibility can exacerbate landscape fragmentation, thereby detrimentally affecting the supply capacity of the ecosystem (Spellerberg, 1998;Liu et al, 2019;Wei et al, 2020). In addition, traffic accessibility can promote the flow of population, economic development, and expansion of construction land and thus increase the demand capacity of ESs (Chi, 2010;Tan et al, 2014;.…”

“…For example, we should take measures to improve urban green infrastructure and corridor landscapes in urban areas, as with parks and leisure green spaces, vegetation coverage, in an effort to comprehensively balance ESs and economic development (Dai et al, 2021). Traffic accessibility can impact ESs S&D by affecting land use change, thus altering the supply capacity of ESs (Spellerberg, 1998;Liu et al, 2019;Chen et al, 2021). Therefore, optimizing the land-use structure and enhancing regional land-intensive and economic utilization of regions is of great significance.…”

Identifying the Impacts of Land‐Use Spatial Patterns on Street‐Network Accessibility Using Geospatial Methods

“…The shortest distance between the origins and the destinations is the most conventional approach (Witten et al, 2008; Le Texier, Schiel, and Caruso, 2018). At the same time, land use patterns were typically characterized by satellite‐based images mapping the land types and their sizes with different spatial resolutions (Liu et al, 2019; Ahmadzai, 2020). It means that only the compositional aspect of land use patterns has been investigated.…”

A Study of Traffic Congestion Influenced by the Pattern of Land Use

“…The interaction level of these three factors 1022 (2022) 012035 IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1022/1/012035 2 may therefore influence the congestion level. In other words, the level of traffic congestion depends on the land use pattern [7].…”
