street/building/tow n/city Introduction New technologies required to solve problems.
Huge amount of data with spatial attributes.
GIS is a tool to handle such datasets.
Seoul in South Korea, High Springs in Florida,
USA are mere examples of application of GIS. (Junghoon, 2013) Seouls planning simulation using GIS (Junghoon, 2013) GIS in urban planning Datasets are huge in urban planning and 80% of such data have locational attributes. GIS is ideal to deal with such datasets, as it breaks down these datasets in pieces. Spatial features can be labeled and thematic maps can be produced. Simulation of what actually happens in a city and the potential it has. (Tong et al, 2015) Land use in (a) plan and (b) actual city (Tong, 2015) Example of GIS in Chicago
GIS was used in Chicago to explore the boom
in bank branching between 2000-2000.
False assumption that Chicago was under
banked.
Even though there were more than enough
bank branches, people still did not have access to them. (Al-Kodmany, 2012) Impact on parking The development of new buildings and streets leads to an increase in the demand for parking spaces
PARKFIT is a algorithm and model that it is
used in estimating city parking patterns
It is based on a spatially explicit high-resolution
view of parking demand and supply (Levy and Beneson, 2015). Case Study: BAT YAM (Levy and Benenson, 2015)
PARKFIT was used to assess the overnight
parking demand and capacity, both currently and based on their 2030 transportation plan It implements a Monte Carlo approach to estimate the distance between the cars aiming for a specific destination and the destination, and the percentage of cars that fail to find a parking space Parking demand is influenced by the type of buildings, their floor area and number of floors, as well as the street network Case Study: BAT YAM (Levy and Benenson, 2015) References Al-Kodmany, K. 2012.
