ABSTRACT:
This study presents a strategic planning tool of Zonal Impact Analysis (ZIA) framework in evaluating the secondary impacts of city growths in order to find the balances of land developments and transportation performances in an urban area. The proposed ZIA framework can fulfill the gap between the traditional analysis level of land use and transportation planning. Bangkapi District of Bangkok is selected as the study area for the application of the ZIA framework. The urban development impacts include economic and environmental impact. The environmental impacts consist of noise and air pollutions considerations, while the economic impacts included travel time and vehicle operating costs. This study pointed out that travel cost is not the only major impacts as the previous studies indicated. Pollution impacts are also one of the significant social costs. Planners should not overlook the environmental aspects to appraise the impacts of proposed land use project. The results of secondary impact assessments indicated that the transportation services in the developed areas influence how much impacts of traffics generated by land developments. Planners should take transportation services into account to determine the development potentials of each area. The proposed framework can show explicitly the impacts distribution on how much impacts of the proposed project(s) in developed area(s) may influence to the other part of the city. It is expected that the proposed ZIA framework can be an alternative to find an optimum growth pattern for minimizing unfavorable impacts of land developments in developing counties
