In the Asia and ASEAN countries, there are a lot of urban development plans based on the concept of Transit Oriented Development (TOD). CUE model, which enables to evaluate urban development and transportation development simultaneously, is one of the major approaches to estimate the effects on a development plan based on the TOD. However, it has been difficult to evaluate it especially in Asia and ASEAN countries except Japan, due to lack of the public data on the geographic land use by small zone units. We have created a new methodology of estimating the land use area by using satellite images. It enables the land use classification on a scale, which fits the evaluation of the TOD. This paper describes evaluation results of the development plan of Taoyuan City in Taiwan by building the detailed spatial scale CUE model using our new methodology, using data.
