Abstract

Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is one of the approaches of sustainable urban development, paying attention to rail transportation as a means of sustainability in the city. In the TOD approach, transportation is considered as a factor to achieve urban sustainability. This approach improves the social, economic and environmental conditions in the city. In this approach, principles such as attention to rail transportation are considered as factors and principles of development. In the first hypothesis, it was tried to evaluate the relationship between the use of rail services and the development of transportation-oriented from the point of view of passengers. Finally, by testing this hypothesis, it was concluded that there is no relationship between the components of transportation-oriented development and the use of the subway as a means of transportation.In the second hypothesis, people's willingness to use the subway and the distance of their lives from the subway station were evaluated, finally it was shown that there is a definite relationship between the distance from Golshahr station and the frequency of using rail lines. The priority of people as passengers was measured from the perspective of TOD in the third hypothesis, it was found that the construction of parking is very important. In order to make the metro station more attractive, it has been proposed to complete the pedestrian route and build various parking lots for the development of this station.
