520 Sustainable development has been highlighted as a guiding
principle for addressing the issues associated with rapid
urbanization and the environmental problems that often
accompany it. Although sustainability has been defined and
discussed for almost a quarter century, operationalization
of sustainable development has been fraught with its
conceptual ambiguities. The objective of this research is
to develop a set of spatial dynamic simulation models that
can simulate alternative development patterns by using New
Urbanist principles related to travel behavior such as
urban development with mixed land use, high density and
easy access to transit systems. The approach adopted for
this research integrates empirical and simulation methods
to address specific planning interventions that can lead
to sustainable travel behavior. A framework for examining
sustainability in land use and transportation relationship
is developed with the help of an empirical model based on
data from the Phoenix metropolitan area. Based on the
result of the empirical model, spatial dynamic simulation
models are developed for the Phoenix area using complex
system theories--cellular automata and genetic algorithms.
The simulation shows that urban sprawl and auto-dependent
development will continue for the Phoenix area if there is
no planning intervention. However, alternative urban
development simulation shows how different planning
options could lead to sustainable travel behavior. The
results of simulation demonstrate that the models
developed for this study are applicable for
operationalizing sustainability related to land use and
transportation interaction. The implementation of the
models is expected to be a significant advance in the
practice of sustainable development in fast growing
regions like the Phoenix area
