Study of Land Use and Its Evolutionary Characteristics around the Stations of Northeast Line in Singapore
Singapore has long been regarded as a model of organic integration of land use and integrated transportation.The study of the characteristics and evolution patterns of land use and FAR(floor area ratio)around its rail transit stations has strong practical significance for the construction of public transportation in China's metropolis.The study selects the Northeast Line,which connects the center with the new city area,as the object,and uses the data from the four editions of Singapore's Master Plan(2003,2008,2014 and 2019)as the basis,and adopts mathematical statistics,information entropy and equilibrium as well as other quantitative research methods to analyse the characteristics of land use and FAR changes within a 600m radius of the 17 stations of the line.The study finds that the overall balance of land use function types is of high,and the distribution shows that the central business district is mainly commercial,while the periphery is mainly residential,and the land use of each station exhibits certain differences in circular districts;in terms of land use function evolution,residential land use is decreasing,while ecological space and industrial land use are increasing;in terms of FAR distribution,the overall characteristics show that the central area is high and the periphery is low,and the FAR of the inner circle of most stations is higher than that of the outer circle;considering the increase in average FAR,the land use function and FAR of stations in the central and northeastern edges of the district show greater variation.For the construction of China's public transport metropolis,the TOD model,which organises land around metro stations,is a key strategy for rail transport to lead urban development,but the development model of each station should also consider the historical and current conditions,urban and economic development and other objective patterns,to align with the requirements of government guidance.
