The significant upward trend in energy consumption has entangled the world into problems such as climate variation and greenhouse effects, and has endanger the environment in which human are living. The “World Energy Outlook 2000 Highlights” of International Energy Agency (IEA) estimated a continuous growth of carbon dioxide emission by 2020. The increase of gas emission with energy consumption has encouraged many countries to formulate various policies for inhibiting emission of Green House Gas (GHG).
Therefore, this study aims to research on relation of transport energy consumption. A database for family behavior of neighborhood travel frequency and built environment in Tainan metropolitan is established by using geographic information system, and analyze the relationship between neighborhood built environment and the transport model which affects transport energy by adopting structural equation modeling. Finally the extent to which various built environments may affect energy consumption of transport mode is analyzed, which may be proposed as suggestion for transport planning strategy in order to reduce energy consumption.
The result of this research showed that the relationship of mutual effect between the built environment of the city and its transport energy consumption. Furthermore, there is relevance between non-built environment and factors of household socio-economic status, where in comparison the former one is much more influent than the latter. Verified by the modeling, both do not have direct relationship with the transport energy consumption, as instead the transport environment characteristic factors influence it indirectly, from which conclusion the suggestion for reducing energy consumption is proposed.
