Importance of efficient Multi – Modal local connectivity at transit hubs for effective implementation of Delhi Transit Oriented Development Policy 2012
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCED RESEARCH IN CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The urban sprawl and the rapidly increasing number of private vehicles demand for a new approach towards planning of a city. During the last few decades, more cars, congestion and related urban transport problem arise and increasing crime is also important thread for the society. Providing best local connectivity options can reduces the cases of various transport related issues and also helps in the prevention of crime. Transit Oriented Development is such an approach through which local connectivity can be improved.This paper is an attempt to understand the existing local connectivity issues in the selected case study stations. For understanding the existing local connectivity issues, four Delhi metro stations (Saket, INA,Vishwavidyalaya and Sultanpur) that falls with mid, high and low ridership with residential, institutional and mixed landuse were selected. The study further focuses on comparative analysis of local connectivity i.e.. which stations provide better local connectivity modes than other stations and also on expenditure patterns i.e.. thelower is the expenditure pattern the better is the local connectivity. The paper also focuses on problems faced by commuters in the selected case study stations. Based on the research, broad level proposals and station specific proposals for a single metro stations are given to enhance accessibility of local connectivity in the selected case study stations for efficient transit oriented development. These paper also focuses on the implementing agencies, those will improve and implement local connectivity for efficient transit oriented development in the selected case study stations.
