Project Abstract

Abstract
Urban transportation planning is a critical aspect of sustainable urban development, aiming to address issues such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution, and accessibility. Geographic Information System (GIS) technology has emerged as a valuable tool in enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of urban transportation planning processes. This research project explores the utilization of GIS technology for sustainable urban transportation planning, with a focus on its applications, benefits, and challenges. Chapter One of the study provides an introduction to the research topic, presenting the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the research, and definition of key terms. Chapter Two conducts an extensive literature review on the use of GIS technology in urban transportation planning, highlighting key studies, methodologies, and findings in the field. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology employed in this study, including data collection methods, GIS tools and applications used, sampling techniques, and data analysis procedures. The chapter also discusses the limitations and ethical considerations of the research methodology. Chapter Four presents the detailed findings of the research, analyzing how GIS technology has been applied in sustainable urban transportation planning, the challenges encountered, and the outcomes achieved. The chapter also discusses the implications of the findings for urban planning practitioners and policymakers. Chapter Five concludes the research by summarizing the key findings, discussing the implications for practice and future research directions, and providing recommendations for enhancing the use of GIS technology in sustainable urban transportation planning. The study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing insights into the practical applications of GIS technology in addressing urban transportation challenges and promoting sustainable urban development. Overall, this research project underscores the importance of leveraging GIS technology for sustainable urban transportation planning to improve transportation systems, enhance urban mobility, and achieve environmentally friendly and socially equitable urban environments. The findings of this study serve as a valuable resource for urban planners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to advance sustainable urban transportation planning practices.
