| Summary: | In urban planning, Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is viewed as a set of strategies to increase the use of public transport, increase walking activity, contain urban sprawl, and create more liveable places. The TOD concept promote highdensity and mixed-use development around transit centres which affects the success of mass rapid transit. The types and distribution of land use around the train station play a big role in determining the ridership number, however, the evidences in Malaysia are not well recorded. Therefore, the research question is to answer whether TOD generates higher numbers of public transport ridership or not based on the land use distribution at the station. This research aims to measure the relationship between urban physical development and ridership in TOD stations using the LRT Kelana Jaya Line in Klang Valley, Malaysia as a case study. The study area covered land use distribution within a 500-meter radius of selected Light Rail Transit (LRT) stations on the Kelana Jaya Line. |
