| Abstract |
A rapid increase in travel energy consumption is becoming serious issues in Kathmandu, Nepal. This study examined the effect of urban form; 5Ds (density, diversity, design, destination accessibility a...nd distance to transit) on the travel energy consumption. First, empirical analysis is performed based on 5Ds to understand the urban form of entire Kathmandu via 35wards. Afterward, homogenous groups are identified based on 5Ds and travel energy consumption by using k-means cluster analysis. The result highlights: (1) Compact planning in Kathmandu indicates the highest walking mode share, however among the energy-intensive mode, motorcycle is found highly used, (2) Residential area has direct effect on travel energy consumption, (3) Higher travel energy consumption is found due to maximum motorcycle use in highly road connected areas (D3) which are far from Central Business District (CBD) and longer travel distance as the effect of less density (D1), low land use mix (D2) and poor transit accessibility (D5).show more
