dc.description.abstract | Urban sprawl is a phenomenon that leads to an extensive use of motorized transport modes with negative
environmental impacts such as congestion, time wasted in traffic jams, air and noise pollution and
additional costs incurred by using non-renewable energy. Increasing the existing infrastructures is a
decision, which often generates the installation of new urban settlements, whose degree of isolation
is mitigated with a new increase in the demand for transport. This vicious circle can be broken by
reducing the need of transport imposed by the urban model, which is only possible by bringing citizens
closer to those services they demand. In the model of sprawled city, housing predominates as land use
in the residential areas, where other complementary uses (such as commercial, cultural, institutional
and industrial ones) are excluded in the urban development. When the urban districts don´t present
enough complexity, an increase in traffic density between different zones into the city arises. Such
forced mobility could be reduced if the functional diversity of the districts were greater, or if there was
an urban rapid transit system connecting the areas that generate the greatest imbalances. To measure
the complexity of the urban districts system, the Information Theory developed in the 1960s proposes
the use of urban entropy. The paper addresses the problem of locating a rapid transit line (metro, tram,
BRT) with the objective of maximize the functional diversity of the districts traversed by the alignment.
In order to illustrate the proposed model a computational experience is carried out by using data from
the metropolitan area of Seville (Spain). | es |
