“…Shen et al investigated the impact of bus-based TOD on housing price premiums [17]. Sun et al explored TOD theory based on bus stops defined within a 400 m radius [18]. Nadeem et al attempted to address a research gap by investigating the type of urban fabric created by bus rapid transit (BRT) and its influence on transitoriented development (TOD) [19].…”

Transit-oriented development (TOD) serves as a model for sustainable urban planning, integrating land use and transport planning. Successful implementation varies across specific geographic locations and has yet to be fully realized in the suburban areas of Thailand. This study empirically examined and searched for understanding of the enhanced accessibility to urban activities through the TOD concept by focusing on bus stops and rail mass transit. The study utilized a network buffer zone approach around transit areas as TOD measurement units, examining distances of 500 m, 1000 m, and 2000 m. Spatial analysis was applied to examine and understand the enhanced accessibility to urban activities through TOD by using network analysis, Getis-Ord Gi* hotspot analysis, and bivariate local Moran’s I. The results revealed that this area still has limited access to activities via public transport, particularly in the areas where activities are concentrated, especially in commercial, mixed-use, and residential zones. However, upon examining the relationship between access distance and the intensity of land use activities, it became apparent that within the network buffer zone encircling the transit areas, designated as transit-oriented development (TOD) measurement units, there exists a notable concentration and diversity of land use activities. Specifically, enhanced accessibility to the transportation system corresponded to increased activity density. Nonetheless, this correlation was predominantly observed at stations situated in more central areas, whereas stations located at greater distances exhibited a lower intensity and diversity of activities within the TOD zone.

“…Subway/rail stations and bus stops are considered as transit centers in this study. In this study, based on previous research in Seoul, we estimated the walking distance of the subway/rail station to be 500 m [46] and that for bus stops to be 400 m [47].…”

With the rapid industrialization and urbanization, suburban areas have been developed to accommodate the sudden demand of the population. However, recent problems such as low fertility and aging induces urban shrinkage by reducing the urban population and the economy in old areas around the suburbs. As urban shrinkage causes inequality among residents in terms of the opportunities to access public services, the enhancement of the accessibility of public services is crucial to achieve inclusive growth. This paper proposes a framework for supplying public services based on the transit-oriented development (TOD) concept with geographic information system (GIS) analysis technique. A total of 24 indices, 4 criteria for 6 public services, are measured and weighted by the entropy method to find vulnerable residential buildings with a poor environment in Jung-nang district, Seoul. With a spatial analysis based on this weight value of residential buildings and the TOD concept, old commercial buildings are selected as candidate buildings for public services. According to the derived results, one candidate building as a public service can improve the environment of 3% to 8% of vulnerable residential buildings. The proposed decision-making methods can provide a valuable reference for selecting the location of public services by computational analysis with GIS.

“…TOD has a strong effect on travel behavior and mode choice, which can be reflected by the transit ridership [68,69]. It has been proven that TOD areas usually have a higher ridership [70]. With the development of web crawler technology, social density and recreational density can be collected through location-based mobile apps (e.g., Facebook, Weibo, and WeChat) and map service apps (e.g., Google maps and Amap).…”

The fast development of urbanization has led to imbalances in cities, causing congestion, pollution, and urban sprawl. In response to the growing concern over the distribution of demand and supply, a more coordinated urban structure is addressed in comprehensive planning processes. In this study, we attempt to identify urban structure using a Network–Activity–Human model under the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) concept, since TOD is usually regarded as an urban spatial planning tool. In order to explore the strengths and weaknesses of the urban structure, we define the TOD index and unbalance degree and then classify the urban areas accordingly. We take the city of Beijing as a case study and identify nine urban types. The results show a hierarchical urban structure: the city center covers most of the hotspots which display higher imbalances, the surroundings of the city center are less developed, and the city edges show higher potentials in both exploitation and transportation development. Moreover, we discuss the extent to which the spatial scale influences the unbalance degree and apply a sensitivity analysis based on the goals of different stakeholders. This methodology could be utilized at any study scale and in any situation, and the results could offer suggestions for more accurate urban planning, strengthening the relationship between TOD and spatial organization.
