| Abstract | Urban goods movement (UGM) problems and policies of selected Southeast Asian
cities are studied in this research. Southeast Asia is one of the most dynamic regions
experiencing the recent urbanization and industrial growth. Its developing cities have been
subjected to increase the inadequacy of their transportation and infrastructure facilities from
the demands of accelerated economic development. The general urban goods movement
problems were identified as traffic congestion, damage to infrastructure, road accidents and
enviromnental pollution. Major countermeasures against these problems were divided into
five groups, namely: facilities development; agency coordination and accurate freight data
collection; transportation demand management; land-use planning and enviromnental
regulations. Detailed investigation and analysis of urban goods movement problems and
policies is conducted in Bangkok Metropolitan Area and Ho Chi Minh City. The basic socioeconomic and transportation characteristics, UGM policies of selected Southeast Asian cities
and the existing relationships are analyzed. Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) has been
used to develop a structure of the complex relationships between UGM policy measures and
to analyze the decision making process. Tlu-ee levels of UGM policy measures identified
using ISM and comparison analyses, and employed for defining the suitable measures.
Finally, the alternative urban goods movement policy measures are suggested for the
implementation in BMA and HCMC. |
