Transit oriented development propagates the use of feeder services such as buses, taxis and paratransit to support the main rail trunks (Taylor, 1982; Limtanakool et.al, 2006;Alshalalfah & Shalaby, 2007). This paper attempts at explaining the preferences of passengers of a Malaysian rail service towards feeder buses, factors influencing their choices and recommendations to encourage the KTM Komuter passengers to switch mode to feeder services instead of driving their private vehicles to and from stations. Using on-board intercept survey method, some results of 200 samples were analysed for the research. Findings showed that 76% of the passengers did not prefer to use the feeder. As such, the chi-square analysis did not find any socio-demographic factors such as gender, income, level of study, employment types, to be significant in explaining this mode switching behaviour. Some trip characteristics such as vehicle ownership, frequency and length of using the KTM Komuter service also did not significantly influence the passengers' preference in using the feeder bus service. Other factors were then examined, including stations' characteristics, users' access and egress behaviours, travel time and distance. Therefore, in order to encourage the KTM Komuter users in using the feeder bus service, several recommendations such as providing an efficient, reliable frequency and catchment areas of feeder bus services were made.

“…A clustering of specialized jobs near railway stations can therefore realize a notable modal shift. This seems to have been the case in the Netherlands (Limtanakool et al 2006;Schwanen et al 2002).…”

The influence of land use and mobility policy on travel behavior: A comparative case study of Flanders and the Netherlands

Numerous transportation studies have indicated that the local built environment can have an important effect on travel behavior; people living in suburban neighborhoods travel more by car than people living in urban neighborhoods. In this paper, however, we will analyze whether the regional land use has an important influence on travel behavior by comparing two regions with a varying land-use pattern: Flanders (Belgium) and the Netherlands. The different land-use pattern seems to have influenced travel behavior in both regions. An active spatial planning policy in the Netherlands, clustering activities in urban surroundings, appears to have realized a sustainable travel behavior, as a substantial share of residents frequently walk, cycle or use public transportation. The rather passive spatial planning in Flanders, resulting in urban sprawl, seems to stimulate car use. The applied mobility policy also has an impact on the travel behavior and land use of the Flemings and the Dutch. Infrastructure is concentrated in Dutch urban environments, whereas Flanders has a more widespread network of infrastructure and cheap public transportation, resulting in a further increase of suburbanization. a jonas.devos@ugent.be

“…This means the location of residential and workplace are related to each other in occupational mobility preferences. Further, the residential location and workplace affect both the commuting distance and the relative advantage of a certain commuting mode among many alternatives in terms of travel time, which in turn influence the choice of commuting mode (Limtanakool et al, 2006). Accessibility can be further divided into macro-accessibility and micro-accessibility (Gudonaviciene & Alijosiene, 2013).…”

This paper attempted to measure the opportunity loss of employment due to abandoned shopping centre development project by way of economic approach with a focus on the development of grounded theory methodology. This study employed both deductive and inductive approaches to conceptualizing the method. Data were analyzed by constant comparison of the comparable properties after building up the body of theory in determining the employment densities of shopping centres. The process, method and theory involved were used to develop a conceptual framework to assess the loss of employment opportunity resulting from an abandoned shopping centre development project. In the process, a market competition of retail supply analysis and conjoint analysis of occupational mobility factor was examined.With 215,700 sq.ft. of net lettable floor space, taking into account other competing shopping centres and the local market situation, as many as 5,118 persons within the catchment area could have lost those opportunities. However, only 3,141 employments can be absorbed by the said abandoned project, thus, the economic well-being loss due to its abandonment. With the average per capita income of RM 1,700 for the Malaysian population, the loss incurred by the society was RM 1,089,298,800 for 17 years of project abandonment.
