A Framework for the Study of Urban Space Form Oriented Toward Low-Carbon Travel

Abstract:

With sustainable development as the goal to be accomplished, this paper proposes a framework for the study of urban space form oriented toward low-carbon travel. There are four steps in the study framework. The first step is to make explanation on behaviors analyzing the low-carbon travel behavior from the two aspects of transportation and environment impacts. The second step is to identify the influence relationship exploring the mutual influence relationship between low-carbon travel behaviors and built environment, thus build the system of environmental factors influencing low-carbon travel modes. The third step is to provide views and understandings on spatial demand proposing a series of space development solutions and strategies for realizing of low-carbon travel. The forth step is to develop the space pattern putting forward spatial features and design principles, thus form typed pattern language for the urban space oriented toward low-carbon travel.
