Abstract
The study of exploring the internal connection between rail transit and land use is of great significance for the coordinated development of urban space and rail transit construction, and it is also important for the intensive use of land affected by rail transit stations. The land use structure and population density surrounding the stations of Line 1.2.3 of Xi’an Rail Transit were clustered by SPSS for identifying the rail transit stations with high population density. Subsequently, We have established an indicator system of urban land use and rail transit operation capabilities based on multivariate data, and explored the coordinated relationship between rail transit and land use through data envelopment analysis (DEA) evaluation methods at high population density stations. Besides, the coupling degree of land use in rail transit stations with high population density was evaluated, and the key indicators affecting the coupling degree were further analyzed in Xi’an. In conclusion, this study finds that the relationship between rail transit capacity and land use of high population density rail transit stations is unbalanced. Hence, to promote the sustainable development of rail transit capacity and surrounding land, it is suggested that we should confine the development of land use intensity around the station, improve the service functions of small-scale living areas, and optimize the travel environment intended for short-distance travel. For residents, they are encouraged to choose the mode of rail transit for their long-distance travel. At the same time, the peak passenger flow at the stations should be evacuated accordingly.
Highlights
With the rapid development of Chinese urban rail transit system construction, the development mode of building a station-city integration has become the mainstream of the times
According to the analysis results, it can be seen that the efficiency of rail transit on land use is higher than the conversion efficiency of rail transit on land use
Increasing investment in land use is of great significance to the coordinated development of the system
Summary
With the rapid development of Chinese urban rail transit system construction, the development mode of building a station-city integration has become the mainstream of the times. The coordination relationship between rail transit and the surrounding land development is not optimistic. Many stations do not reach the designed passenger flow. The space development around the station does not take into account the connection with rail transit [1, 2]. It is important to understand the coordination relationships between the rail station and land use. European and American countries first proposed research on the coordination relationship between rails and cities in order to
