Rail Transit Station Name Planning:A Case Study of Shenzhen
Railway station name has received increasing attention as the network effect of urban rail transit becomes more prominent. Scientific station name planning methods can improve the accuracy of naming and resolve the passive situation of station name planning. Through sorting and summarizing the first three rounds of station names planning for the rail transit in Shenzhen, this paper identifies the existing problems of station name planning, including the mismatch between function and name planning, insufficient station name resources in areas with intensive rail transit network, the gradual disappearance of the historical place name, and the fierce competition for name resources. Based on the experiences and lessons learned from other cities in China, the paper proposes three planning strategies: station names should strengthen cultural characteristics and stability and specify the priority of the words used in station names, coordinate the relationship between different functional levels and construction timing lines of urban rail transit net-work, and clarify the management regulations for station renaming. The priority of naming stations is to name according to the nearby historical place with a long history and high popularity;name with the dis-trict where the station is located;name with large-scale urban public facilities with long-term stability and landmark functions around the station;name with the road that intersects perpendicular to the rail transit line.
