Sustainable travel behaviours of TOD residents: An examination of TOD residents’ travel mode choices and consistency in Hangzhou
Shared with the World by Elangkathir Duhindan
Transit-oriented development (TOD) is an urban design model designed to attract more sustainable travellers. However, not every TOD project conducts a highly sustainable travel sharing rate, and the proportion of daily car users in TODs is still growing steadily each year, especially in the cases of Chinese cities. Meanwhile, many Chinese cities are putting enormous investments into metro infrastructure development, but they are uncertain of whether these resources could be adequately used. Therefore, using the data collected from 1,298 TOD residents in Hangzhou, this paper aims to examine the wider impacts of TODs on the residents’ travel behaviours to broaden the current studies of travel behaviours by using the perspective of TOD residents and examining travel behaviour consistency. More specifically, this research employs three binary logistic models to identify the key variables which determine TOD residents’ travel choices and mode consistency. The results demonstrate that variables like monthly income, residential tenure, workplace metro accessibility and travel attitudes significantly impact travel mode choice, while variables like monthly incomes, the number of children in a household and increased car number influence the sustainable traveller’s behavioural consistency. A limited number of factors can influence car users to shift to sustainable travel behaviours. The research results would eventually contribute to planners’ design theories on TOD and implementation of new policies to reach a higher sustainable transport sharing rate within TOD properties as well as an adequate use of the metro infrastructure investments.

The social impacts of Transit Oriented Development (TOD): The case study of Chengdu.
Shared with the World by Elangkathir Duhindan
Rapid economic development and urbanisation cause serious traffic problems. To combat the traffic issue, many countries have begun to implement Transit Oriented Development (TOD). TOD can not only promote the development of public transport and alleviate traffic congestion but can also effectively curb urban sprawl and urban land problems, which have an impact on urban social development. This paper will use the city of Chengdu as an example to study the social impact of TOD on urban development.

Transit-oriented development and housing
inequality: Testing the effectiveness of the
Balanced Housing policy in Jakarta,
Indonesia.
Shared with the World by Elangkathir Duhindan
The concept of Transit-oriented
Development (TOD) has been widely
practised in big cities, including Tokyo,
Hong Kong, London, and New York City, to
improve urban lives by integrating land use
and transportation planning (Atmadja and
Bogunovich, 2019; Murray and
Weerappulige, 2021), and addressing
urban-related issues, comprising poverty,
transport emissions, disintegrated urban
system, and lack of affordable housing
(Boarnet et al., 2017; Derakhti and Baeten,
2020). However, TOD poses potential risks
of transit-induced gentrification and
housing inequality (Ahlfeldt and Wendland,
2009; Duncan, 2011). Several countries,
including Thailand, India, Colombia, the US,
and the UK, introduced the inclusionary
housing concept to respond to the risks. In
Indonesia, the Balanced Housing policy was
created to form social harmony in TOD
areas (Mungkasa, 2020; Benson, 2010).
However, its effectiveness is yet to be
studied (Farha, 2017; Maharani, 2015).This
study compares inclusionary housing policy
in Jakarta and other cities in developing and
developed countries to identify the
research limitation from the existing
literature. This research collects primary and secondary data through grey and
academic literature reviews, semistructured
interviews, and electronic
surveys. The analysis of housing inequality
and the Balanced Housing policy's
effectiveness is based on house price
mappings around the selected TOD areas in
Jakarta, the electronic survey's findings
from the impacted communities, and the
perspectives of the experts, planners,
academics, private developers, and nonprofit
organisations on the Balanced
Housing policy's enforcement in
Jakarta.The research finds that despite
contributing to the housing production in
Jakarta, the Balanced Housing policy is still
ineffective in fostering inclusive
neighbourhoods and creating affordable
housing to address housing inequality in
Jakarta TOD areas. The research findings
and lessons learned from other countries
become the basis to provide some policy
suggestions for Indonesia's government to
make the current Balanced Housing and
conversion fund policy perform better,
including the need for creating a more
efficient planning process and
enforcement. This research also
recommends future studies involving
academics and experts to provide more
dialogues between academia and the
practitioners in view of the Balanced
Housing policy's effectiveness in Jakarta
TOD areas.
