Planning principles for the port-city interfaceColin, Lindsay John 05 1900 (has links)
The once close physical, functional, economic and cultural solidarity between ports
and cities has diminished as a result of changes within both ports and their
surrounding urban areas. Spatially, ports and cities have become separated as port
structures have grown and evolved to meet the demands of trade and shipping
technology over the past few decades. This separation is exacerbated by changing
social priorities in the use of urban waterfront space and heightened interest in
quality of life issues. As the pressures affecting the urban waterfront continue to
grow, the port-city relationship has become strained.
This paper is concerned with how the relationship between ports and cities can be
improved to support the complementary development of the port with its urban
region and, at the same time, maintain the quality of life city residents have come to
expect. More specifically, this study seeks out the appropriate planning principles,
strategies and approaches that can effectively address the problems and land use
conflicts at the port-city interface.
The study begins by exploring the literature of structural and societal changes that
are affecting port city waterfronts and the conflicts that result between ports and
cities in their planning for the waterfront. In a number of cases, these challenges
are being met by the separate actions of ports and cities; however, given port-city
linkages in many issues it is revealed that there is much to be gained through the effective coordination of efforts based on shared planning principles. A review of
the Vancouver cityport confirms the port-city challenges suggested by the literature
and interviews with municipal and port representatives lend support to the concept
of port-city planning principles.
The major conclusions of this study are that ports and cities can benefit from
increased collaboration on the basis of agreed planning principles and a shared
approach to waterfront planning that recognizes each party's needs. The challenge
to be borne by city and port planners is one that seeks reconciliation, balance and
the re-building of a synergistic relationship. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate

Innovative Approach to Estimating Demand for Intercity Bus Services in a Rural EnvironmentMattson, Jeremy January 2017 (has links)
Because existing models have their limitations, there is a significant need for a model to estimate demand for intercity bus services, especially in rural areas. The general objective of this research was to develop an intercity mode choice model that can be incorporated into a statewide travel demand model to estimate demand for rural intercity bus services. Four intercity transportation modes were considered in the study: automobile, bus, rail, and air. A stated preference survey was conducted of individuals across the state of North Dakota, and a mixed logit model was developed to estimate a mode choice model. Results from the mode choice model showed the significant impacts of individual, trip, and mode characteristics on choice of mode. Gender, age, income, disability, trip purpose, party size, travel time, travel cost, and access distance were all found to have significant impacts on mode choice, and traveler attitudes were also found to be important. The study demonstrated how the mode choice model can be incorporated into a statewide travel demand model, and intercity bus mode shares were estimated for origin-destination pairs within the state. Alternative scenarios were analyzed to show how mode shares would change under different conditions or service characteristics. This study was conducted in the largely rural state of North Dakota, but results could be transferable to other areas with similar geographic characteristics. / U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)

Transportation planning as if the neighbourhood mattered : Part II a case study of the Broadway Skytrain Station in Vancouver, BC, CanadaHurmuses, April Dea 11 1900 (has links)
Although the region has acquired expertise in the physical dimensions of rapid transit
implementation, that expertise has not translated into a better understanding of social
impacts on communities which host this regional amenity. The Broadway Station area is
such a community. Although the City of Vancouver is responsible for planning the
Broadway Station area community, many provincial decisions have had far-reaching
consequences and do not correspond with municipal policy for the community. The
province has introduced region-serving programs and facilities into the community
despite municipal policy that the Broadway Station area would not serve a regional role.
As a consequence, the community is becoming increasingly unlivable. There is a de facto
policy vacuum. Moreover, there is a lack of coordination and an absence of protocols for
managing and sharing data. There is little, if any, coordination of senior government
actions, and the actions of various levels of government and their agencies have resulted
in the Broadway Station Area failing to achieve the goal of community livability, for the
resident community.
The City of Vancouver, within which the case study station resides, has so far been
unable to respond to the challenge that the station poses. The degree to which the station
area is becoming dysfunctional is not known to the city. Consequently, the thesis question
"Is the Broadway Station Area worse off than before SkyTrain" posed a significant
challenge. In addition to a review of the case study planning process, which was
conducted by the thesis researcher in the latter half of 1996, this thesis adds interviews
with professional planners and a limited empirical study to answer the thesis question.
By looking at a limited number of key census indicators, and cross comparing that with
other data sources, the thesis found that the community's perception has merit, although a
great deal more data must be compiled. To better understand what works in the Canadian
context of transit-oriented planning, we need to support ongoing qualitative community
planning with the empirical work that would assist in monitoring the effect of policies
and program implementation and can address the dynamism of this regional transit node.

Redefining the public transport industry through architectural identity : a proposed transport interchange for the Umhlanga new town precinct.Richards, Geoffrey. January 2012 (has links)
Tom Steer, senior associate on the Gautrain Architects Joint Venture states that "When people
arrive in cities with well-organised transport networks, they breathe a sigh of relief. The
identity of the transport system forms an integral part of the city's identity and the way it is
perceived internationally." (Theunissen, 2009: 22)
Mokena Makeka of Makeka Design Laboratory agrees saying "The role that transport
facilities play in the creation of an identity for both the industry itself and the city is essential,
and one that is often underplayed in this country" (Theunissen, 2009: 22).
In South Africa today, the public transport industry is perceived negatively by a large portion
of the population. This perception is largely rooted in the troubled history of South Africa
with Apartheid playing a major role in the formulation of such perceptions. In addition, issues
surrounding lack of government funding, supporting infrastructure, safety, reliability,
comfort, accessibility and a general state of disrepair hinder the progress within the system.
This has resulted in a system that is severely underutilized by the middle to high income
population, creating overcrowding on roads through the use of private motor vehicles, and the
unsustainable nature of South Africa's transport system as a whole.
This study focuses on the role of identity in architecture, exploring the concept of architecture
as a catalytic instrument in the creation, and identification of identity, and how this can be
applied to transform the public transport industry as a whole. The intention is to identify and
explain the important principles and elements that inform the success of a transport
interchange, and how a building can redeem itself and create a new identity.
It is clear through the study that infrastructure is required in the public transport industry.
This dissertation looks at the design of a modal interchange facility which seeks to appeal to a
wider socio-economic group, and in turn create a more sustainable system as a whole.
One must acknowledge that for any significant change to occur, more than just architecture is
required, as architecture in isolation, cannot address all the issues. Identity is formulated
through a number of elements, not only built form. The approach will have to be a holistic
one and a broad remodelling of the current system is required. Modal interchanges do
however form the backbone to this process and act as a vital catalyst in the transformation of
the industry. / Thesis (M.Arch.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2012.

'n Vervoerlogistieke benadering tot die hervestiging van verspreidingsentra in die lig van deregulasie van padvervoerWiggins, Henry Owen 06 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans, abstract in Afrikaans and English / In the case of an economical activity such as a distribution system, the distribution depot
normally forms the nucleus of the network. The market place that is being served is not static
and with the passing of time, due to the change in demand together with the change in the
product range which is being offered, a tendency develops for the distribution point to move
away from the nucleus of the network, thereby not representing the optimal location anymore.
There is therefore a constant need for companies to determine whether their distribution
system is suitable for their present, as well as their future trading circumstances. This factor
together with the normal endeavour to minimise physical distribution costs, results in the need
for a sophisticated approach to the whole problem of relocating distribution networks.
The aim of this study is therefore to develop a basic model which will set out guidelines for the
relocation of distribution centres.
With the above mentioned in mind, the first step is a study of the theory to highlight and
analyse applicable techniques and methods that could possibly be used in this model. The
accent throughout this section is placed on well known and proven theories and techniques.
The second part of this research focuses on the empirical study that forms the basis for the
building of a relocation model. With the help of practical examples it is shown how to apply
the model and each step is being highlighted and illustrated.
The model that has been designed in this study clearly outlines the steps that enable the user to undertake and optimally apply a relocation study. Its application does not necessarily require
highly trained personnel or complicated programming. It is therefore recommended that this
model be applied in the case of the relocation of distribution centres. / In die geval van ekonomiese aktiwiteite soos 'n distribusiesisteem, vorm die verspreidingsdepot
gewoonlik die kernpunt van die netwerk. Die markplek wat bedien word is egter nie staties nie
en met die verloop van tyd, as gevolg van die verandering in die aanvraag tesame met die
verandering in die produkreeks wat aangebied word, ontstaan daar 'n neiging dat die
oorsponklike verspreidingspunt weg beweeg vanaf die kernpunt van die netwerk en dus nie
meer die optimale liggging verteenwoordig nie. Daar is dus 'n konstante behoefte by
maatskappye om te bepaal of hulle distribusiesisteme geskik is vir hulle huidige, sowel as
toekomstige handelsomstandighede. Hierdie faktor, tesame met die normale strewe na
minimalisering van fisiese distribusiekoste, het tot gevolg dat daar 'n behoefte bestaan aan 'n
gesofistikeerde benadering tot die hele problematiek van vestiging van verspreidingsnetwerke.
Die studie het dus ten doel die ontwikkeling van 'n basiese model wat riglyne daarstel vir die
hervestiging van verspreidingsentra.
Met bogenoemde in gedagte, is daar in die eerste plek 'n teoretiese studie onderneem wat
toepaslike tegnieke en metodes wat moonlik in hierdie model opgeneem kon word, uitgelig en
geanaliseer het. In hierdie gedeelte word die aksent deurentyd op bekende en bewese teoriee
geplaas.
Die tweede gedeelte van die navorsing fokus op die empiriese studie wat met die bou van 'n hervestigingsmodel gepaard gaan. Daar word aangetoon hoe om die model toe te pas en elke
stap word met behulp van praktiese voorbeelde toegelig en verduidelik.
Die model wat hier ontwikkel is le duidelike riglyne neer wat die verbruiker in staat stel om 'n
hervestigingstudie aan te pak en optimaal toe te pas. Die toepassing daarvan vereis nie
noodwendig hoogsopgeleide personeel of ingewikkelde programering nie en word daar
gevolglik aanbeveel dat hierdie model toegepas word in die geval van die hervestiging van
verspreidingsentra. / Business Management / D. Comm.
