Land use density, land use mix, and walking: insight from a simple theoretical model

2023
AbstractBackgroundLand use density and land use mix are the two most studied characteristics of the built environment and generally, it is believed that higher land use density and higher level of land use mix are associated with more walking, especially for utilitarian purposes.

The hidden side of the entropy-based land-use mix index: Clarifying the relationship between pedestrian volume and land-use mix

Urban Studies, 2018
This study clarifies the previously unknown limitations of the entropy-based land-use mix index and suggests conditions under which the index is valid. The land-use mix index has an n-shaped relationship to dependent variables, which was evidenced by this study, but previous studies have ignored the problem.

A dynamic human activity‐driven model for mixed land use evaluation using social media data

Trans. GIS, 2018
Massive amounts of social media data have enabled the evaluation of mixed land use from the human activities perspective. While most studies have focused on approaches to better measure mixed land use, the dynamic activity patterns used to distinguish ...

Monitoring and quantification of stormwater runoff from mixed land use and land cover catchment in response to land development

Ecological Indicators, 2018
Understanding the influence of land use and land cover (LULC) change in stormwater runoff is important for watershed management. In this study, integration of 31 storm events, monthly monitoring of LULC change, Pearson’s correlation, multiple linear ...

Assessing Ecosystem Health in Rural Mixed Land-Use Watersheds

21st Century Watershed Technology: Improving Water Quality and Environment Conference Proceedings, 29 March - 3 April 2008, Concepcion, Chile, 2008
A paired stream approach was used to assess ecosystem health in two rural Nova Scotia streams with varying land use practices. The study sought to determine the feasibility of qualifying stream health using a few select parameters over a short sampling season.

Social diversity and modal choice strategies in mixed land-use development in South Africa

The South African Geographical Journal, 2018
The consensus of the literature is that mixing land uses enhances social diversity within neighbourhoods and increases the diversity of modal choices. South Africa is burdened by the historic legacies and inherited Euclidean (Single-Use) zoning practises,

Sediment sources in an urbanizing, mixed land-use watershed

Journal of Hydrology, 2002
The Issaquah Creek watershed is a rapidly urbanizing watershed of 144 km 2 in western Washington, where sediment aggradation of the main channel and delivery of fine sediment into a large downstream lake have raised increasingly frequent concerns over flooding, loss of fish habitat, and degraded water quality.

Defining mixed-use: which land uses promote walking?

2009
A growing body of literature finds that mixed-use development can affect trip frequency, trip length and mode choice. Though researchers have explored the general impacts of this type of development on travel, few have examined which specific land uses should be mixed to achieve transportation-related goals.
