碩士 / 朝陽科技大學 / 建築及都市設計研究所 / 91 / Since the adoption of the federal interstate highway program in the mid-1950s the automobile has become the default transportation vehicle in the U.S. However, many cities have found that the excessive use of the automobile causes various problems such as traffic congestion, air pollution, and even negative impact on the development of a city. The transit-oriented development (TOD) uses transit stations as the hub of urban development and integration of regional public transportation systems to create a good urban environment. By so doing on the urban fringe, the TOD will create Transit Villages that also prevent the problems of urban sprawl caused by the inevitable highway extension of the car-oriented development. These in turn help achieve the ultimate goal of sustainable urban development. Due to its capabilities of deterring urban sprawl and decreasing the percentage of private transportation usage, the Transit Village has gradually become the norm of community planning in major cities around the world.
This study first examines the concept of TOD and Transit Village in depth. It then uses the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) and the fuzzy analytical hierarchical process (FAHP) to establish an evaluation model of Transit Village development. Finally it applies this model to assess the suitability of Transit Village development among three future transit stations on the fringe of Kaohsiung metropolitan area. This results in useful reference materials for later transit system development and in some way help achieve the goal of sustainable transportation.
Below are this study’s conclusions:
1. The Transit Village involves wide variety of fields. To build a comprehensive evaluation model this study derives criteria from literature on various fields such as TOD, transportation planning, sustainable development, sustainable transportation, and so on.
2. The evaluation model shows that the following criteria are the most important ones in their respective hierarchy: urban development on the first level, transportation demand and user space on the second level, and the walking distance to a transit station and the joint development model of a transit station on the third level.
3. The evaluation model also reflects that the development of Transit Village should pay attention to both physical environment and urban development aspects to avoid the development discrepancy caused by stressing on one aspect only.
4. The application of the evaluation model shows that the R19 transit station earns the highest score, which means that station’s surrounding area is more suitable for a successful Transit Village development.
