URBAN TRANSPORT AND LAND USE PLANNING TOWARD THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (CASE STUDY OF BANDUNG METROPOLITAN AREA)

Emphasize to the issues of environment preservation and economic equity become
more important in setting the strategy for the future of urban land use and transport system.
Hence, for the future of sustainable urban transport planning, the policy objectives should be
underlying both of the economic and the environment issues, such as minimizing the
transportation cost, emission reduction, and promoting the renewable energy.

This paper examines the effectiveness of some urban transport measures in achieving those
sustainability objectives. The measures include land use or zoning control, toll road development,
light rail transit (LRT) operation, traffic management and vehicle technology alternative. Bandung
Metropolitan Area (BMA) in West Java, Indonesia, selected as a case study. Present and future
traffic indicators were estimated using standard traffic assignment technique, while emission and
energy consumption was then estimated based on link characteristics.

Each urban transport measure to some degree performs better than the business as usual case.
The LRT alternative performs effectively; as it has the lowest travel time, emission as well as
energy consumption, then followed by land use policy and vehicle technology alternatives. Download File
