Abstract

Climate change has become a crisis situation worldwide with great importance attached to mitigation policy and implementation plans towards urban sustainability challenges. Together with rapid growth of urban environments, the Urban Heat Island (UHI) has significantly influenced temperature records whereby the concentration of urban structures and human activity results in a higher air temperature over urbanized areas, especially the metropolitan area of Bangkok, and its vicinity, Thailand. This research aimed to assess the behavior and preferences for energy saving and household carbon emission reduction by focusing on residential groups with a survey via face to face interviews. Data from three parts of questionnaires were input into Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) which are; 1) residential location and characteristics of neighborhood zone; 2) energy consumption behavior and carbon dioxide emission activity, and 3) attitudes toward the effects of UHI and Carbon Dioxide emission reduction. The results revealed that residents’ attitudes influenced their in-house behavior, workplace behavior and travel behavior. Therefore, by raising public awareness on self-adaptive behavior with more practical knowledge aligned with residents’ attitude towards daily activity and lifestyle could be potentially recommended for heat island mitigation measures wherever possible, especially in areas where community planning can be implemented.

Abstract

To cope with the crisis of traffic congestion, Transit Oriented Development (TOD) which promotes moving people rather than cars becomes a powerful tool to be considered to alleviate urban mobility problem. To increase transit patronage, non-motorization travel, revenue increase, and urban diversity with livability enhancement, consideration on creative physical form of urban spaces in proximity to transit station must be evaluated. This study considered all aspects of transit station area within walking distance to attract physical activity and balance transportation by incorporating useful variables on evaluation of walking environment within the TOD. This study selected 10 mass transit (sky train) stations in Bangkok, Thailand to investigate the walkability of transit development, and recommend a suitable development of station area’s method that could provide greater accessibility in higher-density settings for non-auto commuting. This could be an explicit policy objective to provide an alternative approach incorporating transportation system with an efficient land use patterns through TOD, with the aim of using the strategic location in the walkability of mass transit stations as an integral part of the existing and future urban development.
