Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled Mixed-Use Residential Development and Its Effects on the Travel Behaviour of Residents: Findings from Case Studies in Beijing Submitted by Changyun JIANG for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in October 2005 In recent years concern about the environmental effects of automobile use in metropolitan areas has motivated a search for sustainable urban form which will provide accessibility without necessitating vehicle trips, and this has given new impetus to the achievement of mixed-use neighbourhoods. Energy consumption, pollution and congestion are the major reasons for this concern. Even though these problems have become increasingly prominent in the rapid urbanisation process in Beijing, hardly any research has been carried out on the relationship between urban form and travel. Focusing on large-scale developments in Beijing during the 1980s and 1990s, this thesis presents the first examination and investigation, in the Chinese context, of the characteristics of neighbourhood form from a mixed-use perspective, and its influence on residents' travel behaviour. Drawing upon western theories and empirical investigations, this study developed a framework linking mixed use attributes and travel to guide two case studies in Beijing: a representative residential unit, and an atypical case with similar scales and socioeconomic features. The characteristics of the two neighbourhoods are analysed in three aspects: mixed uses, concentration, and pedestrian environment; and travel is investigated in several aspects in terms of work travel and non-work travel respectively. Multiple sources of data, including documentations, observations, interviews with key informants, and questionnaire surveys with residents and employees in both neighbourhoods were utilised during the research, and they are analysed in a convergent style to maximise the validity of the results. Findings of the case studies reveal that current residential unit planning principles do not sufficiently consider the relationship between working and living, forcing most residents to travel long distances to work. The provision of a complete set of facilities, however, enables residents to satisfy most of the needs of their daily lives locally. Of course, facilities such as schools and theatres may need reconsideration in planning, because residents are likely to 'shop around' for such comparison goods rather than simply use the closest. The high density of Chinese urban neighbourhoods offers a good basis for the creation of mixed- use developments. It helps concentrate all uses close together and makes walking possible. Survey results revealed that walking is the most important travel means in both cases, and also confirmed the proposition that pedestrian-friendly design promotes walking trips both for local destinations and for strolling. Chinese urban residential developments need to realise the problems as well as opportunities of past and current practices, and introduce appropriate improvements so that future developments contribute towards a more sustainable urban environment.
