Transportation planners need prior data on "Trip Generation" for new developments and for predicting changes in the trip generation due to modifications in the existing land use types. Trip Generation depends on various factors, especially the socioeconomic characteristics. Currently, transportation planners in Malaysia have to depend on the trip generation data of foreign countries because the data in the Trip Generation Manual of Malaysia provides inadequate information on many land use types including the Educational Institute type- “Kindergarten”. The major objective of the study was to study the "Trip Generation” characteristics for the "Kindergartens” in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The study included identification of the statistically significant parameters that are related to the trip generation rates. Data were collected from selected nine (09) kindergarten locations in Johor Bahru area. The data collection also included survey of stakeholders including information on the number of students, the number of staff, availability of the day-care facilities, school timings and number of shifts at the facility. The collected data provided information on the "Trip Generation" in local context and environment. Statistical analyses were carried out to establish relationships between the dependent variable and the independent variables. Linear regression models were developed which were found to be capable of predicting trip generations by the “Kindergarten” land use type. The models could be used by the professionals for the Johor Bahru, Malaysia local environment.

Transportation planners need prior data on "Parking Generations" for new developments and to predict changes in the parking generation due to modifications in the existing land use types. Parking Generations depends on various factors including the socioeconomic characteristics. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) is an international body of transport professionals that publishes and updates the information on parking generation for various land use types in USA. In Malaysia, no parking generation guidebook exists. Transport planners in Malaysia have to depend on the parking generation data and models developed based on other countries which may be misleading and inaccurate. The ITE provides parking generation data for 106 different land use types including “Pharmacy”. The objective of the paper is to study the parking generation rate for the land use type "Pharmacy" and develop regression models for predicting daily parking generation by pharmacies based on the Johor Bahru environment in Malaysia. Data were collected from the selected thirteen (13) pharmacy locations in Johor Bahru area. The data collection also included a survey of stakeholders including information on a) gross floor space area b) available parking spaces adjacent to the pharmacy c) presence of similar pharmacies in the vicinity (500 m radius). Linear regression models were developed to predict peak hour parking generations by the “Pharmacy” land use type. The developed models are recommended to be used by the professionals for the Malaysian local environment.

Transportation planners need to estimate the trip generations of different land use types in the travel demand forecasting process. The Trip Generation Manual of Malaysia, similar to the Trip Generation Manual of the Institute of Transportation Engineers, USA, provides the trip generation rate at “Polyclinics” as a function of the Gross Floor Area. However, the data for this rate have no line of best fit resulting in the lack of confidence in the prediction. This study considered ten locations in Malaysia and verified the significance of different parameters, i.e. Number of Doctors, Number of Staff, Gross Floor Area and Density of Similar Clinics within 0.5 kilometre radius in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The study developed regression equations for estimating the peak hours and daily trips at polyclinics in terms of “Number of Doctors”. The developed models can be used in estimating the number of trips generated by the polyclinics in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

This research carried out in Huong Vinh commune, Huong Tra town, Thua Thien Hue province aimed to identify types of land use and soil characteristics. Results showed that five crops are found in Huong Vinh commune including rice, peanut, sweet potato, cassava and vegetable. There are two major soil orders with four soil suborders classified by FAO in Huong Vinh commune including Fluvisols (Dystric Fluvisols<em>, </em>Gleyic Fluvisols and Cambic Fluvisols) and Arenosols (Haplic Arenosols). The results from soil analysis showed that three soil suborders including Dystric Fluvisols<em>, </em>Gleyic Fluvisols and Cambic Fluvisols belonging to Fluvisols were clay loam in texture, low pH, low in OC, total N, total P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> and total K<sub>2</sub>O. Meanwhile, the Haplic Arenosols was loamy sand in texture, poor capacity to hold OC, total N, total P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> and total K<sub>2</sub>O

The Impact

A poluição do ar é influenciada por fatores naturais e antropogênicos. Quatro pontos de monitoramento (veicular, comercial, residencial e background urbano (BGU))da poluição do ar em São Paulo foram avaliados durante 16 anos, revelando diferenças significativas devidoao uso do solo em todas as escalas temporais. Na escala diurna, as concentrações de poluentes primários são duas vezes mais altas nos pontos veicular e residencial do que no ponto BGU, onde a concentração de ozonio (O3) é 50% mais alta. Na escala sazonal, as concentrações de monóxido de carbono(CO) variaram em 80% devido ao uso do solo, e 55% pela sazonalidade.As variações sazonais ede uso do solo exercem impactos similares nas concentrações de O3 e monóxido de nitrogênio (NO). Para o material particulado grosso (MP10) e o dióxido de nitrogênio(NO2), as variações sazonais são mais intensas do que as por uso do solo. Na série temporal de 16 anos, o ponto BGU apresentou correlações mais fortes e significativas entre a média mensal de ondas longas (ROL) e o O3 (0,48) e o MP10 (0,37), comparadas ao ponto veicular (0,33 e 0,22, respectivamente). Estes resultados confirmam que o uso do solo urbano tem um papel significativo na concentração de poluentes em todas as escalas de análise, embora a sua influência se torne menos pronunciada em escalas maiores, conforme a qualidade do ar transita de um sistema antropogênico para um sistema natural. Isto poderá auxiliar decisões sobre políticas públicas em megacidades envolvendo a modificação do uso do solo.
