EasyChair Preprint 1838

Abstract

Bangkok and its vicinity encounter traffic problems and air pollution that has been aggravating its situation due to traffic jams and high-density buildings in urban areas. Due to the previous development plan, the area is not aligned with the needs of area development particularly accessibility problem. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish the area around the station of 500 meters from the centroid of each station. The design factor which was considered in this study include; design, diversity, density, destination and accessibility. The classification of destination in the different station was performed by using statistical analysis to distinguish the group of stations by using the Cluster analysis. The average of all cases was compared among all pairs and analyzed from the Dendrogram. It has found the result was classified into six groups which represent the main activity of the residential area, the mixed-use area, commercial area, recreation area, and central area. The government. It is an approach of the development around the station area following their context to alleviate traffic congestion with reducing air pollution to achieve sustainable development and promote activities surrounding transit station.
