| Abstract | An innovative urban land use planning method for planning the new cities of the planned megalopolis, which is developed in the AIT\' s project. "The Design and Development of New Cities in Asia", breaks the classical method which is traditionally intuitive in locating land uses. Urban land use activities, which are usually classified into five categrod.es as: working, housing, shopping, educating, and recreating, are functionally related to one another. The importance of the relationships between each pair of them can be quantitatively measured, so that a mathematical model can seek out the locational alternative in which the interrelationship of land uses is optimum. A creative approach to urban planning, especially in planning a new city, has to consider the land use plan and transportation plan at the same time, rather than to over-emphasize either one of them. The land use plan accommodates the planned skeleton of the transportation network, whereas, the transportation plan has to deal with both the network and land use plan. This thesis study focuses on the land use plan, assuming a particular transportation network. The high efficiency processing machine the computer--provides an important assistance to this innovative land use planning method. It makes this method feasible. |
