THE URBAN’S PERCEPTION INVESTIGATED BY MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION THROUGH THE URBAN RAIL (TRAM) PROJECT

Abstract

Urban life quality is directly committed to public infrastructure as the public transport service should be accessible throughout the area. Also, the public transport network itself needs to be well connected. Therefore, the contribution of this paper purposively illustrated the change in the accessibility performance of future transit network investment. This research presented the urban perception assessment with the accessibility index and the integration of rail urban motilities system throughout 2036 A.D.in which the principal investigation and interpretation were conducted on urban perceptions and the multimodal transportation modes (walkability, bus network, tram network) including 1) The changes of accessibility observed in various aspects as the population’s accessibility to different transit networks in 2 different urban phenomena and 2) A comparative study on the population’s accessibility and multimodal transportation modes in three different building uses: Mixed Use, Commercial Use, and Public Facility Use. The study outcome simplified the urban's perception mechanism that supports non-driven virtualization while the urban rail infrastructure was notably essential for understanding the relationship between the urban perception and public infrastructure that would be resulted in a productive supporting policy. This model represented the urban perception based on the light rail transportation investment plan to understand and develop a more efficient approach for city-level cooperation in both the public and private sectors.
