Research on the evaluation of land use around urban rail stations based on the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) mode

Abstract

The Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) model is suitable for urban land use development, with its main concept being to efficiently develop and utilize the limited urban land resources based on public transportation. In China, as urban public transportation, primarily rail transit, is being developed, there are some issues surrounding the land use around urban rail transit stations. Therefore, this research takes different types of urban rail transit stations as the research objects, conducts differentiated evaluations of the comprehensive benefits of land use around different types of stations, and provides relevant suggestions. This study classifies urban rail transit stations according to land use functions and establishes a three-level comprehensive benefit evaluation index system from four dimensions: land use, transportation system, economic benefits, and environmental benefits. It uses expert scoring, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation methods to conduct differentiated evaluations of the comprehensive benefits of land use around different types of rail transit stations and provides empirical analysis using a station in Chongqing as an example.
