Cumulative effect assessment for sustainable road transport system planning: a study on Dhaka city of Bangladesh /

Abstract

Thesis (PhD(Planning))--University of South Australia, 2016. Includes bibliographical references (pages 120-138) The research objective was primarily to assess the degree of connectedness among the stressors affecting the transport system, which is the central phase in the pathway of CEA. The important stressors prevailing in the system were identified; digraph theory and matrix analysis technique was used in analysing the connectedness among stressors, which is innovative and challenging to incorporate with transport system analysis. The research aimed to support an effective transport planning strategy for the mega cities of the developing world, with Dhaka City as an exemplar possessing similar characteristics. In order to identify the transport system stressors, a detailed field survey was conducted in Dhaka City during July to October of 2013, in conjunction with analysing secondary data and reviewing previous works.
