Abstract
The discordance between the operation of rail transit and surrounding land use is highlighted with the rapid construction of rail transit in China. The related research on coupling relationship is well needed. Taking 13 typical commercial service rail transit stations in Xi'an as the example, this article established the evaluation indicator of coordinated relationship between rail transit station operating efficiency and land use, and a data envelopment analysis (DEA)model was used to evaluate the coupling degree between them. According to the research results, the coupling development between operating efficiency and land use in Xi'an commercial service rail transit station is at a low level and there exists a huge difference between the two. Moreover, this research identified the key indexes that influence the coupling development of the two, namely Class-A, Class-B, and Class-R land use proportion, plot ratio, land use mixture and parking facility control, and determined the reasonable control range of these four indices. The research promotes the intensive use of land around Xi'an rail transit station and better supports the sustainable operation of rail transit.
Highlights
With the rapid development of urban rail transit in China, urban diseases represented by traffic jam turn increasingly severe under the combined functions of high-density development, growing urban size and high popularity of vehicles [1]
When cities in China enter the stage of stock development, a fast, comfortable and large-capacity rail transit mode greatly contributes to the relief of traffic congestion [2]
It takes data envelopment analysis (DEA) method to build a coupling development and evaluation model for rail transit station operating efficiency and surrounding land use, and explore the land intensive use indicator control scope that can promote the fast development of commercial service rail transit stations, achieving the coordinated development between rail transit operating efficiency and surrounding intensive land use
Summary
With the rapid development of urban rail transit in China, urban diseases represented by traffic jam turn increasingly severe under the combined functions of high-density development, growing urban size and high popularity of vehicles [1]. Many built rail transit stations haven’t reached predetermined passenger flow requirements, and surrounding land use functions and development intensity do not consider the connection between stations Future studies should perceive main factors affecting the coordinated development of urban rail transit stations and surrounding land use, point out the rational quantitative control scope of all indicators to better instruct future planning regulation. It takes DEA method to build a coupling development and evaluation model for rail transit station operating efficiency and surrounding land use, and explore the land intensive use indicator control scope that can promote the fast development of commercial service rail transit stations, achieving the coordinated development between rail transit operating efficiency and surrounding intensive land use
