Study on the relationship between traffic dominance and land use efficiency in Shanghai

Abstract

Transportation infrastructure promotes the interconnection of production factors between regions and enhances the efficiency of land use, while land use patterns also have an impact on transportation development patterns and mixes. Although the development of different regions within megacities tends to be integrated, different transportation mixes and land inputs still bring differentiated dynamics to the development of the blocks. In order to explore the relationship between regional traffic conditions and land use efficiency, this paper investigates the traffic development conditions and land use efficiency of each district in Shanghai by using the traffic dominance degree model and the three-stage Super-SBM model, and explores the relevant role relationship between them by using the coupled coordination degree model. The results show that: (1) the central city has the highest traffic dominance, and the suburban areas, especially the distant suburban areas, have low traffic dominance; (2) the land use efficiency of the eastern area of Shanghai is significantly higher than that of the western area, and the land use efficiency of the southern area is higher than that of the northern area; (3) in terms of coupling coordination, the traffic development and land use efficiency of most districts are coordinated, but the degree of coordination varies greatly, with Huangpu District, Yangpu District, Pudong New Area, and Hongqiao District. Yangpu District, Pudong New Area and Hongkou District are at a high level of coordinated development, Chongming District and Changning District are at an uncoordinated development, and the rest of the districts are at a medium level of coordinated development.
