Mass rapid
transit system is regarded as the optimal solution for a congested urban
transit corridor. Primarily, MRTS influences land values, accessibility, travel
patterns, and land use. It has the potential to expand access to remote regions
and stimulate urban redevelopment. Conversely, in the absence of well-planned
MRTS nodes, disorderly urban transformations ensue due to sensitive
accessibility and, as a consequence, land valuation escalates, ultimately
succumbing to market forces. As a consequence, disorder and congestion ensue,
and instantaneous progressions transpire along the MRTS corridor and within
their area of influence. The purpose of
this study is to determine the causes and effects of Metro on the land values
and land use patterns in the locality area as A Case Study of Delhi Metro Rail.
The character composition of the area chosen for the research is entirely
distinct from that of other regions where metro rail has been installed. This
area includes several metro stations, including Lakshmi Nagar, Nirman Vihar,
and Preet Vihar. In this study primary data collection is conducted through the
utilization of GIS and Erdas Imagine software to map the existing land use of
the area, in addition to conducting field surveys. Prior to commencing the primary
survey, a handheld GPS was utilized to gather location data and conduct
intelligence. The methodology utilized was predominately based on a comparison
between the designated corridor before and after the construction of the metro.
By analyzing this case study, the research will enable policymakers and
planners to assess the effects of MRTS and develop strategies for the future.
