A review of the development and application of urbansim integrated land-use and transportation model

To analysis and mitigate the accelerated growth of urban complexity, dynamic urbar growth simulation modeling techniques have long been considered by planner and related stakeholder. However, most of the existing techniques to study dynamic urban growth have lack of accuracy at the level of household or land parcel and majority of them remain highly aggregate despite the use of disaggregate calibration methods and essentially static in nature. It is with this in mind, to anticipate the future changes of Seoul Metropolitan Area dynamic micro simulation model “UrbanSim” has undertaken into consideration or Korean perspective since it is operational and have been implemented and used for policy analyses. This paper provides an overview of UrbanSim model conception, its development, a list of application to date, as well as our experiment through Yongsan-Gu in Korea.
