TRANSPORT-LAND USE ISSUES, PROBLEMS AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS: SYDNEY SINCE THE THIRTIES

Abstract

A theoretical exposition of the identification of transport- land use problems is presented. This exposition is based on the need to distinguish between transport-land use issues and problems. Central to the conceptualisation of transport-land use issues are the actors in the civil sphere and their perceived conflicts and solutions. The transformation of some of these issues into transport-land use problems within the civic sphere (policy and research) is outlined. A major weapon in drawing-out the policy implications of the problems is the hierarchical diagram (which is borrowed from public decision analysis). The identification of transport-land use issues and problems and the effectiveness of the hierarchical diagram are illustrated by reference to three calendar years in the historical development of Sydney: 1930, 1955 and 1975. As this application emphasises that transport-land use problems tend to be time and place specific, there is a continuing need to reassess the appropriateness of available analytical techniques. As a result, some techniques may have to be jettisoned, others refurbished and new ones developed. (Author/TRRL)
