THE EFFECT OF RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION FOR URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA ALONG URBAN RAILWAY USING MULTI-TEMPORAL OPTICAL DATA—A CASE STUDY IN BANGKOK—

Abstract

 Urban railways are being developed rapidly in a number of Asian countries. Due to lack of financial resources of the government, urban railway development by PPP project has been adopted in Asia. However, most of PPP projects have not been successful and the government had to deal with them. The purpose of this study is to provide the knowledge for decision makers of railway construction in Asia by conducting a factfinding survey on how long it will take to develop the area around the railway station and proposing a method to clarify the progress of development even in countries where accurate land use data does not exist. In this study, evaluated the detailed transition confirmation of development by NDVI for MRT Blue Line and Purple Line in Bangkok, Thailand. As a result of using this method, it is clear that the development is particularly active in 20 to 30 km square from the center in Bangkok, and the development along the MRT Purple Line is remarkable.
