Exploring Population Carrying Capacity of a New Town – A Case Study of Dan-Hai New Town Plan Using the Reverse Transportation Planning Procedure / 新市鎮人口容受力之研究-以逆向運輸規劃程序探討淡海新市鎮案例

碩士 / 淡江大學 / 運輸管理學系碩士班 / 103 / There were two-sided commonly seen problems during the development of a new town. The one was that the associated transportation system can not provide adequate service level to the growing travel demand; on the other hand, the new town development was seriously compromised by the poor transportation performance. The afterward remedy by the planning authority to improve transportation system was often not effective due to the complex issues of budget and time constraints as well as those of environmental impacts and land acquisitions.
It is then obvious that an adequate population scale should be addressed carefully in a new town plan with respect to the carrying capacity by the associated transportation system potentials. This issue was overlooked conventionally due to the unilateral perspective of building codes by urban design authority.
This study proposed a reverse transportation planning procedure to explore the Population Carrying Capacity in response to the connecting transportation system for a new town plan. The Dan-Hai new town plan was selected as a demonstrative case study. Taking into considerations of developing potential of the associated connecting transportation system, along with the designated levels of service, eight transportation scenarios were defined and population carrying capacities were analyzed accordingly. The results showed that there were significant differences between originally planned population carrying capacity of Dan-Hai new town and the outputs from the analysis by considering connecting transportation system performance under various scenarios.
The study has demonstrated successfully the empirical operability of the proposed process and the results may suggest that the proposed methodology can be applied to generate benchmarks for the urban planning authority to establish a more reasonable and achievable population scale for a new town plan.
