--------------------------------------------------------------------------***----------------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT This paper investigates how different aspects of neighborhood-level urban form influence travel behavior in Jaipur. It examines the evolution of urban forms from 1991 to the present and their impact on residents' travel behaviors. The study explores the relationship between urban planning and travel patterns, emphasizing sustainable and efficient mobility solutions. A comparative analysis between Vidhyadhar Nagar and Sanganer in Jaipur will highlight disparities in local urban forms and their effects on travel behaviors. Ultimately, the findings aim to provide insights that can guide urban planning strategies for fostering sustainable urban mobility.
KEY WORDS Urban mobility, Transport, travel behaviour, urban form
INTRODUCTION Travel had become a significant component of day-to-day life. It helps meet people's needs such as locations, services and facilities. Travel behaviour refers to how people use transportation. Cerver says that the sprawling growth of urban territories and a rise in income are two significant factors influencing the decline of sustainable travel behaviour. Sustainable transportation is an integral part of the growth of a city. The way people travel changed over the last century, like how people travelled in the 19th century is not the same as today. And in the future, this will constantly change. One of the things responsible for this is technology after the invention of motor vehicles. People usually use the cheapest, most convenient and fastest means of transportation to get around. So how they like to get from one place to another depends on many things. How likely people are to travel is vital in planning. According to Crane (1996), there is a pattern of how the built environment of an urban area affects the commuting behaviour of its inhabitants. It also depends on people's personal choices and decisions. People are using more cars and buses to get from place to place. It's more convenient and faster. But there are other things that have come with the advancement of technology. Because so many people use motor vehicles, it becomes a pollution problem, a traffic problem, and it is not sustainable Successful implementation of such a plan in suburban areas requires a better understanding of neighbourhood developments and their relationship with travel behaviour. The objective of the study is to understand the relationship between urban development and travel behaviour. The study also identifies the parameters and indicators to measure various terms associated with neighbourhoodscale urban Form and travel behaviour of that neighbourhood. Understanding travel behavior is crucial for effective traffic management and achieving sustainable transportation. One significant factor influencing travel behavior is the neighborhood form. Current comprehensive mobility plans often overlook the impact of urban form on how people travel. Urban transportation planning encounters numerous challenges that could undermine its sustainability over time. Recent studies highlight that modern transport planning prioritizes addressing urban sprawl, pollution, and travel times, emphasizing the analysis of urbanization and transportation infrastructure impacts. This approach is instrumental in examining neighborhood characteristics and understanding how they influence changes in travel behavior. By integrating insights into neighborhood urban forms and their effects on travel behavior, planners can develop strategies that promote sustainable transportation solutions. This holistic approach not only addresses current transportation challenges but also prepares cities for future mobility needs while mitigating environmental impacts and enhancing quality of life.
