An Analysis of Difficulty for Constructing Arterial Streets Considering Land Use and Conditions of Roadside Areas

Abstract

This study aims to propose an easily understood method for the difficulty of constructing arterial streets considering land use and conditions of roadside areas. First, subjective utility of local government officials for the difficulty of constructing arterial streets is investigated by questionnaire. Second, a difficulty prediction model of land purchasing is developed using land use and conditions of roadside areas. By evaluating improving schemes of urban street networks from the viewpoint of difficulty and cost or effect, it is clarified that the cost does not always reflect the difficulty of building streets.
