Development of land use and transport dynamics model for the impact evaluation of urban development policy

Abstract

The Dynamic model of the interaction between land use and transport in urban areas is developed in order to meet the needs of city managers in formulating the more comprehensive urban development plans. The specialty of the model lies in the method that was built through the integration between the methods of system dynamics with spatial dynamic. The utilization of this method is intended to address the challenges in developing a model that is able to describe the dynamics of relationship between land use and transportation in the perspective of urban system. Application of this model in the research area shows some unique phenomenon in the study area such as a tradeoff policy outcome and system resistance to the policy.
