ABSTRACT

This study has aimed to measure Sprawl Index(SI) for the capital region and analysis correlation between sprawl index and travel pattern through linear regression. For measuring the sprawl index, we decided indicators as density, diversity, accessibility and design. The calculated sprawl index shows where was developed more sprawl or compact. It can help to establish directions of development to go ahead. In addition, results of linear regression analysis demonstrate that type of urban development is close connection with travel pattern. For example, minus sign of diversity and accessibility index mean that regard travel pattern as inversely related to auto travel. And plus sign of density, diversity, accessibility and design index have positive effect on increasing the share of non-motor transportation mode. It demonstrates that more compact development lead to convert on public and non-motor transportation mode.
