Light Rail Transit (LRT) has been gaining popularity as a means of decreasing private automobile dependency and thus reducing car pollutants, relieving congestion and enhancing community liveability. LRT is also perceived as an important generator of economic growth, mainly in old urban centers....

Developments of new land use concentrations or shifts in the spatial location of existing land uses along the rail require that the train service will be adjusted accordingly. A typical response to the new demand is to consider the implementation of an additional station on an existing train...

The current system of decision-making in land use law is not transparent and is open to bias and personal corruption. This gives rise to the possibility of unequal treatment under the law, especially given the judicial reluctance to interfere in reviewing the decision-making process. The...

This paper is concerned with the development of varieties and fertilization techniques of greenhouse tomatoes, and their spatial diffusion in the northwestern region of the Negev in Israel. The main objective of the paper is to identify the factors affecting the farmers’ decision to adopt...

Spatial choices entailing many alternatives (e.g., residence, trip destination) are typically represented by compensatory models based on utility maximization with exogenous choice set generation, which might lead to incorrect choice sets and hence to biased demand elasticity estimates....

Typical daily decision-making process of individuals regarding use of transport system involves mainly three types of decisions: mode choice, departure time choice and route choice. This paper focuses on the mode and departure time choice processes and studies different model specifications for...

To analyse the diversion from auto modes to combined modes such as park and ride, it is common to develop mode choice models based on discrete choice theory. In most cases, park and ride is modelled as an access mode to a main transit mode. This paper proposes an approach to test similarities...

This paper presents the development and estimation of a novel semi-compensatory model for residential choice. The model assumes that apartment seekers engage in a two-stage process, consisting of a non-compensatory strategy to retain only alternatives that meet search-criteria thresholds,...
