Abstract
In most metropolitan areas in Southeast Asia which are rapidly growing, many kinds of urban problems related to land use, transport and the environment are emerging. To improve urban management in the region, a top priority is therefore to strengthen the capacity for planning and policy implementation through better coordination among related agencies. This would be aided by an effective analysis tool for planning with which related agencies could substantially discuss policies and their implementing measures. This paper presents such an analysis system which is a new approach for the integrated planning of land use, transport and the environment in a developing metropolis. It stresses operational and conceptual simplicity as well as flexibility for applicability to developing countries. A prototype system, with Bangkok as the case study area, has been developed within the MS-Windows environment, and it employs an extended version of the Random Utility/Rent-Bidding Analysis (RURBAN) model for activity allocation and transport calculation. The system can also forecast environmental results of changes in land use and transport conditions.
