Produktbeschreibung
Analysis of travel pattern provides the background information necessary to better understand the complex relationship among urban structure, transportation system and people's activity participation. This book analyzes how socioeconomic characteristics and urban form affect people's travel behavior in a fast growing developing city like Dhaka, Bangladesh. Although Dhaka is one of the most populous cities of the world, few detailed transport-planning studies have been conducted; but none has effectively delivered the benefits of planning to the transportation system; which is clearly reflected by the inadequately planned and developed transportation system of the city. This work contributes to investigate the complex travel behavior pattern and its relationship with socioeconomic characteristics as well as spatial environments of the places where the household resides, people work and travel through in the Mega City Dhaka under a number of constraints and thus provides city planners, researchers and decision makers a starting point for further exploration of the land use and transportation integration in local level planning.
