“…The properties of the proposed MRT and LRT are: a ticket price of approximately $0.82, stop spacing of 0.5-2 km, seat capacity of 177 seats for the MRT and 100 seats for the LRT, frequency of 12 vehicles/hour, and an average speed of 55 km/h for the MRT and 35 km/h for the LRT [7,8]. The improvements to public transport are expected to encourage the users of cars and motorcycles to shift their transport mode to the public transport systems.…”

Abstract. The rapid growth of transportation in developing countries brings advantages and disadvantages. One of the disadvantages gives negative impacts, such as traffic jam, which directly decreases a highway performance as well as increases air and noise pollution. A suitable policy has not been formulated to overcome the traffic jam in most highways in big cities. However, traffic demand management regard to noise pollution is required in most cities of developing countries, particularly Surabaya City, as a case study area. This study aims to understand the influence of saturated flow of highway on noise pollution for several types of road corridors. The results reveal that saturated flow of highway has a significant effect on noise pollution. By examining the alternatives of space-transport development strategies, the intention is to reduce noise pollution together with decreasing traffic jam due to decreasing the number of light vehicles. This research proposes the improvement of public transport (PT) by planning a Mass Rapid Transit ((MRT). In addition, a structure of compact zones is designed as urban spatial strategy alternatives. Its substantially reduction is achieved with the design of improvement of PT systems and compact zone. The best option for reducing noise pollution level, the implementation of an integrated space-transport development strategy, is then recommended.

For a long time, air pollution caused by unreasonable urban spatial structure and excessive urban sprawl has been a prominent environmental problem in China. From the level of all cities, three economic zones and different city scales, panel data of 194 prefecture-level cities in China from 2006 to 2017 were used to construct a dynamic panel model and to analyze the impact of urban spatial structure on SO 2 , industrial smoke and dust emissions. The results showed that: (1) air pollution had a time cumulative effect year by year, the air pollution of the last year could add air pollution in the script year; (2) urban space expansion could effectively curb air pollution; (3) the urban spatial structure with high population compactness made the air pollution change in an inverted "U" shape; (4) in different economic zone levels and different urban scale levels, the direction of influence and intensity of urban spatial structure on air pollution was different. In the eastern region of China, the residential land, public facilities land and traffic land in the urban structure mainly affected the air pollution. In the central region, the residential land, industrial land, traffic land and municipal land in the urban structure had a significant impact on the air pollution, while the urban scale was the main cause of the air pollution in the western region. Based on this, we recommended the reasonable planning of land use structure, establishment of a population density regulation mechanism, and paying attention to regional differences and urban size differences. This study can help managers of different economic zones and cities of different sizes to improve urban spatial structure and control air pollution in the process of urban development.
