Transportation is the movement of people and goods to achieve the social and economic goals of society. It
has long been accepted that there is a relationship between land-use and transportation. Transportation
facilities influence the location and intensity of land-use activities while these activities generate the need for transportation. The thesis assumes that in general such a relationship exists and, in particular, becomes apparent when freeways and interchanges are introduced into urban areas. There is at present controversy as to whether freeways should be built in urban areas. It is alleged that freeways disrupt urban land-uses, are costly and are, in the long term, ineffective in meeting the demand for urban transportation. In order to provide more information on freeways in urban areas it is proposes to study the relationship from the particular aspect of freeway interchanges in relation to urban land-uses. In this way the extent of the study is limited and concentrated to a field where the land-use/transportation relationship could be expected to be most intense.
