LAND USE

Land use is the human use of territory for economic, residential, recreational,
conservational, and governmental purposes.
The concept of land use is closely intertwined with human community development.

TRANSPORTATION AND LAND USE

BHAGWAN MAHAVIR COLLEGE OF ARCHITECURE
TRANSPORTATION:

 Transport system.
 Considers the set of transport infrastructures and modes that support urban movements of
passengers and freight. It generally expresses the level of accessibility.
• Transport network.
• This is also considered to be a rather stable component of urban dynamics, as transport
infrastructures are built for the long term. This is particularly the case for large transport terminals
and subway systems that can operate for a very long period of time. For instance, many railway
stations are more than one hundred years old. The main contribution of the transport network to
urban dynamics is the provision of accessibility. Changes in the transport network will impact
accessibility and movements.

Four Stages Transportation / Land Use


• The first stage is called trip generation and deals with trip rate estimates, usually at the zonal level.
The most common methods for trip generation are cross-classification (also referred to as category
analysis) and multiple regression analysis. Cross-classification seeks to identify specific
socioeconomic groups within the population that have common trip generation characteristics. The
trip generation of a zone will thus be the outcome of its composition. Regression analysis estimates
the number of trips generated by a zone (dependent variable) as a function of a series of
independent variables.

TRANSPORTATION AND LAND USE


DESIGN SEMINAR SEM - 8
BHAGWAN MAHAVIR COLLEGE OF ARCHITECURE
 The second stage is referred to as trip distribution and deals with spatial movement patterns; the links
between trip origins and destinations. The most common technique for estimating trip distribution is
the gravity model. There are various forms of the gravity model and various calibration techniques as
well. Cross-classification and multiple regression can also be used to estimate the number a trips a zone
would attract.
 The third stage is modal split; the proportion of trips made by automobile drivers and passengers,
transit, cyclists, and walking. Logit modeling is commonly used as it evaluates the preference of each
user in terms of probability of using a specific mode for a specific origin / destination pair.
 Finally, once the spatial patterns of movements by various modes are estimated, trips are assigned to
the various transport links. This is done mostly by using operations research methods aiming at
minimizing travel costs or time over a transport network.

Urban Transportation Planning


• Problems with Mass Transit
– Only economical along heavily populated routes.
– Extremely expensive to build / operate.
– Often crowded and uncomfortable.
– U.S. government encourages personal autos by
financing highways, maintaining cheap energy
policy, and not funding mass-transit projects
(hidden subsidies).

Classification of Urban road

1. Urban Expressway:
Expressways are divided highways for through traffic with full or partial control of access and
generally with grade separations at major crossroads.

2. Arterial road:
They are the primary roads for ensuring mobility function. They carry the largest volumes of
traffic and longest trips in a city. These roads are characterized by mobility and cater to
through traffic with restricted access from carriageway to the side. In such cases, special
provisions should be introduced to reduce conflict with the through traffic.

3. Sub Arterial Road:


This category of road follows all the functions of an Arterial Urban road and is characterized
by mobility, and caters to through traffic with restricted access from carriageway to the side.
It carries same traffic volumes as the arterial roads. Due to its overlapping nature, Sub
arterial roads can act as arterials. This is context specific and is based on the function and the
land use development it passes through.

BHAGWAN MAHAVIR COLLEGE OF ARCHITECURE
4. Distributor/Collector Roads:
As the name suggests, these are connector roads which distribute the traffic from access
streets to arterial and sub arterial roads. They are characterized by mobility and access
equally. It carries moderate traffic volumes compared to the arterial roads. Due to its
overlapping nature, distributor roads can act as sub arterial and as access streets, depending
upon the function and the land use of the surroundings.

5. Local Street:
These are intended for neighbourhood (or local) use on which through traffic is to be
discouraged. These roads should be made pedestrian and bicycle friendly by using modern
traffic calming designs to keep the speeds within limits as per design.

6. Access Street:
These are used for access functions to adjoining properties and areas. A majority of trips in
urban areas usually originate or terminate on these streets

Transit Oriented Development (TOD)
“Transit Oriented Development is essentially any development, macro or micro that is
focused around a transit node, and facilitates complete ease of access to the transit facility
thereby inducing people to prefer to walk and use public transportation over personal
modes of transport”4.
This is an attempt to compact the cities and reducing dependency on the new urban
developments in the periphery which highly encourage the shift from non-motorized to
motorized modes of travel.
Approach to TOD development highly depends on establishing mixed landuse zone by
strategic densification.
The policy includes:
Network & Connectivity: Disperse high traffic volumes over multiple parallel streets rather
than concentrating traffic on few major arterial streets. Create a fine network of streets
that provides choice of routes for all modes, reducing distances between places as well as
journey times.
Last mile connectivity: Provide fast, convenient interchange options and spatial provision
for various modes of Intermediate Public Transport (IPT) at Multimodal Transit Station for
seam less travel. Provide multiple mode choices for last-mile connectivity at various prices
and comfort levels. And at a given situation, eliminate the need of Intermediate Public
Transport by design and engineering5.

Pedestrian access: Provide the shortest direct route to pedestrians and non-motorised
modes to station as well as between building blocks.
High Density, Mixed-Income Development: Compact neighborhoods for shorter commutes
and equity for all sections of society. Mix of use to promote 24 hour activity.
Streetscape Design: Urban places should be designed for enjoyment, relaxation and equity.
Pedestrian friendly designated space for all activities.
Promote Place Making to Create a Sense of Place - Focus on promoting liveability, quality
and uniqueness of each space
