“…Consequently, their overall levels of carbon emissions were lower -i.e. TOD contributes to environmental sustainability (Transportation Research Board, 2001;Lin and Gau, 2006;Loo et al, 2010). Moreover, TOD also influenced people to walk more and thereby enhanced physical activity level and consequently contributed to maintain good health.…”

The purpose of this research is to empirically test the prevailing view that transit oriented development enhances the use of more sustainable modes of transport using Brisbane, Australia as a case. Transit oriented development has been adopted as a new policy tool to reduce car-based travel worldwide. Despite being a billion dollar investment, the impacts of transit oriented development on promoting sustainable travel behavior is not conclusive. The research uses a case-control approach to empirically investigate this relationship based on travel behavior data collected from 88 individuals living in two contrasting neighborhoods in Brisbane: Kelvin Grove Urban Village -a transit oriented development, and Annerley -a traditional suburb (non-transit oriented development). A comparative investigation of travel behavior was subsequently conducted using distance travelled by modes and purposes between the neighborhoods. Results show that the availability of opportunity and services located within the transit oriented development reduces the car use by 5% and increases the use of active transport by 4%. The findings in this research support the implementation of TOD policies in Brisbane.

“…For example, Brown and Werner (2007) found that TODs increased passenger number from 50% to 68.75% in Utah. On the other hand, unsuccessful TOD cases can be found even within a highly transit oriented society like Hong Kong (Loo et al, 2010). Therefore, the success of TODs is mixed in the literature and varies between contexts.…”

“…USA is an excellent model of TOD application by the case of New York City (Loo et al 2010) and San Jose (Mathur & Ferrell 2013).. Integration of transport and land use in TOD underscore the serious interest to the mixed land use because it is expected to maintain the traffic flow of passanger.…”

“…The railway network of New York City. Source (Loo et al 2010) Lisbon, Portugal and the Region of Scania, Sweden are the examples of successful application of the TOD integration in the city and region scale. The application of TOD integration in Scania region, Sweden is carried out by the regional strategy to move the accessibility based on sustainable social facilities and environment (Qviström 2015).…”

Transit Oriented Development (TOD) implementation in urban development is globally adopted by many countries in the world in a rapid manner. However, the city and regional acute problems is still propagating. An in-depth study to examine this problem is required. Thus, this paper review various study related to the integration of land use and transport with TOD. The subject of the paper will be described as follow: Method, criteria and indicators of TOD'S research, Reviewing the strategic plan and the public transport plan in the worldwide, and Cross-continent comparison of integration planning. In conclusion, practice and integration of TOD through land use and transportation is an alternative solution in acquiring the objective of the master plan and to solve urban issues such as urban congestion, reduce travel time, and car dependency.

“…Loo et al [20] analyzed the factors affecting railway station use in New York and Hong Kong based on four major dimensions: land use, station characteristics, socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, and inter-modal competition. This study analyzed the relationship between railway and bus ridership while controlling for land use factors, station characteristics, and socioeconomic variables, and they found that buses have a positive effect on railway patronage in the combined Hong Kong and New York model.…”

Abstract:Rapid urbanization and the increased use of private vehicles have led to many urban problems. Transit-oriented development (TOD) has been proposed as a solution to these problems. The present study examined the relationship between meso-scale urban form and bus ridership, as well as the link between bus and subway use in Seoul, Republic of Korea. Spatial regression models identified the effects of TOD planning factors on bus ridership at 2300 target bus stops in Seoul. The analysis revealed that TOD planning factors have a significant positive impact on bus ridership. In addition, the result indicated a complementary relationship between bus and subway use, implying that transportation policies designed to promote bus transport use through connecting bus and subway services may be effective strategies.
