| Abstract | Sustainability is a growing concern among policy makers and planners in every field and transportation is no exception. The nexus between t he sustainability and transportation can be established through a relationship between land use and transportation. So, the first step towards defining sustainability is to define a relationship between land use and transportation. The notion how land-use and transportation are related with each other has been the topic of interest from past many years. Number of studies in the past has established a two-way interaction between the land use and transportation system. However, the precise relationship between land use and transportation has always eluded us. This relationship if properly defined can give important parameters or indicators, which can be useful in determining the sustainability of an urban area. In this study we developed a simple land-use and transportation interaction model using variables like zonal attributes (land price, attraction, and household) and travel cost or time between zones. With the developed model we evaluated different transportation scenarios from the sustainability aspect. |
