Acquisition of land for use in Taiwan’s land has become difficult in recent years, especially with the increased public attention on transportation-related air pollution, energy consumption and ecological environment. Consequently, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) has listed the “Development of Green Transportation Systems” as an energy-saving carbon-reduction strategy in the transportation sector. The MOTC’s Institute of Transportation has studied green transportation, and established measurement indicators for urban planning phases. However, as various transportation facilities are being developed, the massive rapid transit (MRT) systems have extended their service ranges beyond urban areas into suburban areas. Accordingly, Taiwan’s vast non-urban lands also need appropriate indicators for planners to develop transportation development strategies. This study aims to establish green transportation measurement indicators for assessing the threshold values of green transportation planning indicators, and, in particular, focuses on the suburban areas that have been less discussed in the past. Based on a literature review of public transportation, this study establishes 5 dimensions, each with several indicators. This study applies an expert questionnaire method and a self-developed Grey-ANP (Analytic Network Process) method. Analytical results show that the dimension of destination accessibility has the greatest weight, followed by transfer distance and land use versatility. For the empirical part, four local suburban districts of Yilan County are taken for illustration, in which their green transportation developments are compared for observation of variance. Empirical results indicate that Jiaoxi township is slightly greener than Wujie and Dongshan townships, while Zhuangwei township has the lowest green transportation development. The indicators established by this study can be applied in future studies to compare the green transportation development of different suburban areas, and referenced for transportation policy formulation or transportation improvement. |
