The Interactive Relationship Between Rail Transit and Urban Commercial Centers Based on TOD Theory
The symbiotic development of rail transit and urban commerce serves as a pivotal force in shaping the evolution of urban space and promoting efficient land utilization.Addressing the optimization of the distribution pattern of commercial resources around rail transit stations is impera-tive to fully leverage their guiding role in the renewal and construction of central urban areas in China.This study introduces the evaluation index of'spatial accessibility coupling consistency'to delve into the interactive relationship between rail transit stations and urban commercial centers.Simultaneously,an Ordinary Least Squares(OLS)model was formulated using data from Beijing metro stations and commercial centers to examine the influence of the location and accessibility of urban commercial cen-ters on the radiation intensity of rail transit stations.The findings revealed that Beijing's core urban area exhibits a higher spatial coupling consistency index compared to other central urban areas,indicat-ing robust support from the rail transit network for the urban central system network.The accessibility of large commercial centers significantly impacts the commercial scale within the radiation circle of rail transit stations.In light of these results,pertinent policy recommendations are presented to assist cities in undertaking rational planning and development of rail commerce concurrently with rail construction.
