Many studies and land use planning attempts have done to influence people’s travel choices these days . Rather than sprawl development with automobile -dependent , single -use zoning , and cul -de -sacs , scholars and city planners now prefer and recommend more walkable , mixed -use development , and compact development . Along with neo -traditional development and pedestrian pockets , one trend of recent urban planning , Transit -Oriented Development (TOD ) , has attracted people’s attention . Given the new development of transportation methods , the present study explores how new transit stations will change people’s mobility and activity patterns . The main contribution of this project is to create an index of walkability attributions in a TOD setting based on previous research and to suggest assessment measures of walkability using a Geographic Information System (GIS ) . |
