This study develops a Green TOD planning model with BRT and/or a light rail system as the main transportation mode by integrating the theory of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) with the theory of sustainable and ecological communities based on a supply-oriented planning viewpoint, in order to promote the sustainable and compact development of emerging and transforming cityregions. Starting with a critical review of the development of TOD theory, and through the analysis of related literature and international experiences, this study explores the challenges and potentials of TOD in guiding city development as well as the theoretical development and key content of the expansion from TOD to Green TOD. This review is followed by an empirical case study using the Kinmen island region - a transforming island region facing the pressure of urbanization and leapfrogging land development - as the case setting to systematically investigate the opportunities and challenges of Green TOD in promoting sustainable and compact urbanization. Through the comprehensive application of theoretical and literature analysis, case studies, scenario-based forecasting, GIS spatial analysis, and analytic hierarchical analysis (AHP), this research proposes a Green TOD planning model that is in line with the concepts of cost-effective infrastructure investment and sustainable/compact city development. A scenario-based simulation analysis on the future population distribution of Kinmen is conducted in cooperation with the site selection of potential ecological communities along Green TOD corridors. Finally, this research explores several operational planning strategies for the implementation of the Green TOD model and related priority key ecological community construction elements. It is hoped that our research efforts can contribute to the development of TOD theory as well as promote the sustainable and compact development of island regions. |
