Abstract The livability of cities has been a matter of global concern in recent times. Importantly, the ease of mobility and accessibility in cities remained paramount factors in enhancing residents’ ...locational decisions and suitability. It is on this basis that this study examined the nexus between city livability and transportation in the Lagos Metropolis, Nigeria. Anchored on the concept of livability, the study descriptively and inferentially analyzed the results of 1264 questionnaires administered to residents based on key livability themes. The study revealed low satisfaction with the livability key performance indicators. Similarly, the study revealed that most of the assessed transportation infrastructure facilities are in poor condition and thus hinder the ease of commuting and livability in the city. The result of the regression analysis revealed that transportation infrastructure statistically influenced the livability of the Lagos metropolis. The study recommends the need for expedited proactive measures, particularly structural improvement in transportation infrastructure, towards improving the livability of the Lagos Metropolis.
Although Taipei and New Taipei together constitute the largest metropolitan area of Taiwan, studies have indicated that they are classified into 2 different categories of livability regarding urban ...development. Taipei is the most developed and livable city in Taiwan; although the adjacent New Taipei suburb is not as urbanized or livable, it is steadily improving. Frequently viewed as an extension of Taipei, New Taipei is actually distinct in various aspects and has its own developmental trajectory. These 2 municipalities provide differing livability conditions; thus, with integration, the overlapping and complementary nature of the services provided by Taipei and New Taipei can enable the expansion of the metropolitan service area to a greater urban scale, resulting in an aggregation effect. Without integration, the varying livability conditions will still allow the 2 municipalities to become highly complementary and mutually dependent cities. However, both municipalities face challenges, such as significantly low population growth, and negative consequences associated with a high degree of urbanization, including low birth rates, insufficient public areas, lagged urban planning, and the lack of a coherent vision. These issues must be addressed in the future development of the capital region of Taiwan to efficiently improve livability and community welfare.
본 연구는 연안지역 리버빌리티 지표를 도출하고 탐색적인 공간분석을 하였다. 연안지역은 무분별한 매립과 난개발로 환경과 생태계가 심각하게 훼손되었고, 대규모 연안재해에 의해 지역주민의 삶의 질까지 위협받고 있다. 따라서 연안지역의 삶의 질을 측정할 수 있는 리버빌리티 지표가 필요하다. 이를 위해 첫째, 리버빌리티관련 지표들을 검토하고 구득이 용이한 자료를 ...중심으로 지표를 도출하였다. 둘째, 문헌연구를 통해 도출된 지표가 연안지역의 리버빌리티를 측정할 수 있는지 검토를 하고 추가적으로 취약성 지표를 구축하였다. 셋째, 도출된 리버빌리티 지표로 지역 간의 차이를 평가하고 탐색적 공간분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과 연안지역에서 리버빌리티가 낮은 지역의 군집이 나타났다. 반면 리버빌리티가 높게 나타난 지역은 수도권 및 울산광역시 등 일부 지역을 중심으로 군집을 보였다.
This study derives livability indicators and evaluates coastal areas through exploratory spatial analysis. The coastal area has been severely damaged and vulnerable due to indiscriminate landfill and massive development. The natural disasters caused by climate change are threatening the quality of life of local residents. Therefore, livability indicators are needed to assess the quality of life in coastal areas. Firstly, the indicators related to livability were reviewed and derived based on data that were easy to obtain. Secondly, we examined whether indicators derived from literature studies can measure the livability in the coastal area and constructed additional vulnerability indicators. Third, the difference between regions was assessed by a livability index and exploratory spatial analysis was performed. As a result of analysis, especially the coastal areas were found to be clusters with low livability. On the other hand, areas with high livability showed clustering in some areas such as the metropolitan cities.
