چکیده

During the past four decades the city of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, has witnessed a remarkable rapid urban growth. This has coincided with lack of a planning framework, weak institutional and poor policies, which have caused haphazard and interrelated land use and transportation issues. Current land use and transport planning policies and practice in Jeddah seem to focus on different visions, causing that neither land use nor transport issues are dealt with effectively or efficiently. To prevent dealing with these issues in isolation, Jeddah’s urban planners require methods of integrated land use transport planning that can cope with the dynamics of Jeddah’s urban growth. Dynamic land use and transport interaction models provide a rich method to deal with this. Therefore, in this study a CA-based LandUse Transport Interaction (LUTI) model was used to assess and simulate different (proposed) land use and transport policy interventions in Jeddah city over a period of 20 years (2011-2031). The impact of both isolated and integrated policy interventions on land use and transportation were explicitly simulated in the model. The results show that the dynamic model provides a useful tool for simulating the various planning visions in the city. As such, it provides an innovative and proactive land use transport planning approach to face land use and transportation challenges in the early planning stages, and facilitates shared visions; policies and integrated strategies that in turn may provide a more sustainable land use and transport future for Jeddah city.

Application of a LUTI model for the assessment of land use plans and public transport investments

Integrated land-use and transport interaction models (LUTI) are praised for their ability to evaluate land-use and transport planning in an integrated and consistent modeling system. However, applications of empirically estimated land use models are rare. This paper will present the application of the Dutch national land-use/transport interaction model TIGRIS XL in a recent land-use and transpo...

Land use planning is the main core of urban planning and one of the main components of an urban system. This element has close relation with transportation system of the city, so if their interaction becomes insufficient, deterioration and chaos would have an adverse impact on the urban system and would cause serious environmental issues. The integrated land use-transportation models seem to b...
