| Popis: | To investigate the impact of urban growth on motorcycles use in Ha Noi City, Vietnam, this paper maps and analysis three types of accessibility indicators. The results show that the levels of accessibility to jobs by public transport are very poor as compared to motorcycle and car, explaining the very low share of public transport in the modal split. People living in satellite cities and towns experience very poor levels of accessibility to jobs for all transport modes, including motorcycle. The analysis shows that most urban growth takes place in areas that have relatively high levels of accessibility to jobs by motorcycle or car. This result can help to explain why Hanoians “like” to use motorcycle rather than public transport and why urban growth is not taking place in satellite cities or towns as generally assumed but concentrates around the main (accessible part of the) city. |
