The Intervening Opportunity Model (IOM) is a theoretical framework in urban geography that explains how the presence of intermediate opportunities can affect human migration patterns. It was developed by Everett Lee in 1966 and has since been used to study […]

Hansen Accessibility Model (1959) is based upon concept that the more accessible an area is to various activities and the more vacant land area has greater growth potential. This accessibility of an area is an index representing the closeness of area to all other activity […]

Density saturation gradient method  can be used as a tool for the analysis of existing land use structure and also for use in forecasting land use structure. The forecast is basically a trend projection of the existing land use and density structure […]

Four major categories of variables are measuring the land use system transportation : Land Use-Transport Model Four major categories of variables are measuring the transportation / land use system: Administrative Divisions. Most data is gathered along a spatial framework, which […]

A land use – transportation system can be divided in three component models: 1 Land use models Land use models are generally concerned about the spatial structure of macro and micro—economic components. which are often correlated with transportation requirements. For […]

Land Use and Transport Planning (LUTP) in India is mostly handled by multiple agencies at different levels of Government. Problems include a lack of clear definition of responsibilities amongst  different tiers of government which leads to institutional conflicts in areas […]

The integration of land use with transportation systems has to happen at all scale/ levels of planning and through multiple intervention mechanisms. The most important elements of land use transport integration are listed below: 1. Enabling Urban Structure 2. Complete […]

The following concepts of urban development and transport planning, when planned in an integrated fashion, will enable efficient land use transport integration. Density Intensity of development – concentration of activities and people. Higher densities enable more people to reside in […]

Ahmedabad, located in the state of Gujarat in India, is often cited as a case study for successful land use-transport integration. The city has undergone significant transformation over the past few decades, with a focus on promoting sustainable and equitable […]

Land use-transport integration refers to the coordination of land use and transportation planning to create more sustainable and livable communities. There are many benefits associated with this approach, including: Land use-transport integration can help to create more sustainable and livable […]
