Abstract

Several improvements in the conceptual basis and methodology for land use impact studies have occurred over the past two decades, but the framework is still incomplete because it has not fully recognized the need to incorporate the policy context into the study design. A revised model for impact studies is proposed, and the approach illustrated by a case study of a planned rail rapid transit station. One of the major differences between the described and previous methods is the acknowledgement of several possible outcomes or impacts, as a function of alternative public policies in addition to the transit station itself. Five categories of impacts public facilities, environmental, market, neighborhood, and fiscal are evaluated.
