Study on the influence factors of household transportation energy consumption in urban areas / 探討都市地區家戶運輸能源消耗之影響因素

碩士 / 國立臺北大學 / 都市計劃研究所 / 102 / Numerous researchers have indicated that urban form is one of the factors affecting transport energy consumption. To mitigate the carbon emissions from urban transportation sector is very important. Urban planning and design are seen as the effective ways to mitigate energy consumption and emissions from the transportation. According to the studies of Newman and Kenworthy (1989, 1999) on the relationship between the density and energy used, the cities with high-density urban form have better performance on energy use efficiency. However, several researchers have pointed out that the relationship may be different in different countries, regions. Recent literature suggests that different of urban form in cities and public transit development can significantly affect urban energy consumption.
This paper will discuss the district in metropolitan areas in Taiwan, comparing the difference between urban form and transportation energy consumption in the area. This study uses the district in metropolitan area as samples, and using multiple regression analysis.Based on residing density and bus stop density for samples classification to identify the key factors affecting the transport energy consumption. The main purpose of this study was to explore the key factors affecting the transport energy consumption, and examine differences of urban form in internal district in the metropolitan area affecting the transportation energy use, to observe which levels of development of public transportation can significantly impact the energy use.
Based on the statistical analysis of the results, we can summarize as three major conclusions: First, the better of development of public transport in the region, the significant of density for the impact of energy use. Second, the impact of income with the public transport development is different between metropolitan areas.Third, the differences of urban form in internal administrative in the metropolitan area, resulting in the performance of energy use is different. Finally, we suggestions for research and urban planning in the future: The development of public transport must be arranged with the focus on residential zone, and toward "decentralization" model of development.
