“…However, urban planning faces challenges in many cities worldwide in terms of effectively planning and improving the built environment to support sustainable transport (Hrelja et al, n.d.). Previous research has demonstrated that land use significantly affects people's travel pattern (Abdullah et al, 2022). It is also apparent that cities that have boosted public transportation ridership increased walking and cycling, decreased land consumption and dependence on cars have done so because land use and transportation planning have been integrated (Van Lierop et al, 2017).…”

The fundamental principle of railway development is that rail stations are not merely nodes where people change from one mode of transport to another but also places where spatial concentrations of high-value activity are recognised as positively impacting cities. This can be a similar definition of transit-oriented development: integrating land uses (mixed-use activities) and transportation systems to improve urban issues, especially traffic congestion. This paper aims to quantitatively assess the current transit nodes using the TOD index by evaluating the standard criteria of the 5Ds that determine TOD levels. The TOD index was calculated for areas of 69 stations on the LRT Ampang/Sri Petaling and LRT Kelana Jaya Lines. Some stations are indicated as having a potential TOD but a poor built environment and accessibility, depending on the TOD index's value. With these results, the recommendations to improve TOD planning and implementation can become effective for each station, depending on its built environment factors and typologies. Therefore, using the TOD index, the study offers insights into the station's potential for TOD implementation at rail station development. It put forward recommendations for enhancing TOD planning and implementation towards a better passenger experience, optimising each station's potential, and achieving the objective of TOD implementation in the first place.

The Low Carbon City (LCC) concept has been introduced previously in Malaysian urban development and practice. Through the Low Carbon Cities Framework (LCCF), the Malaysian government has accordingly delineated local authorities’ targets for achieving zero carbon status. However, to achieve smooth governance of LCC delivery, it is essential to ensure that institutional approaches are well-practised and administered. Nevertheless, what are the key elements that can be a guide for LCC governance in local government? Thus, this paper aims to establish the indicators applicable to LCC in governance and practice at local government. This study, therefore, employed a qualitative method with a purposive sampling approach, using the technique of in-depth interviews consisting of three (3) local authorities practising low carbon efforts, and also employed thematic analysis for secondary data. This study showed that LCC governance could be operative considering several important indicators for practice. The findings found that the LCC indicators are substantial for the local authority in delivering LCC initiatives, as well as the challenges faced by the local government in restructuring the institutional framework to achieve better governance practices. The study outcome, therefore, can be a reference to local government when implementing LCC initiatives through a better governance approach

Transit Oriented Development (Tod) for Early-Built Rail-Based Transit Stations: Possible or Plausible?

Transit Oriented Development (TOD) embraces many principles, and is believed to be beneficial in tackling the issues of urban transportation. Some of the main dilemmas are urban accessibility, traffic congestion, and the efficacy of the public transportation system. In Malaysia, the TOD concept was introduced in 2005, much later after Calthorpe embarked on the idea. Rail-based public transport emerged much earlier in Malaysia to meet the demands for public transportation. To date, it is still debatable whether these transit stations deliver on the principles of TOD. Hence, to determine that, this study examined two transit stations that were developed way before the TOD concept was executed in the country. The aim was to evaluate the core areas of Subang Jaya Commuter Station and Tun Sambanthan Monorail Station, based on their components and features, in relation to TOD principles, and to examine the possibility of these early-built transit stations in becoming an ideal TOD. The study evaluated the land use components using the Case Study Method, together with the existence of several principles, namely “connectivity”, “facilities”, “safety” and “comfort”. Results indicated that both transit stations reflect some of the TOD measures, but these are not comprehensive throughout the 400m radius of the core areas. The stations have potential, but require a systematic approach to achieve TOD ideals since both areas are saturated with development, and making changes to land use may not be straightforward.
