Abstract

In response to the global urbanization, the World Health Organization (WHO) began promoting the Healthy City vision in 1981. Looking at the status quo of healthy cities, the current implementation of a healthy city is still undergoing a conceptual elaboration as a whole. It is because the conditions and characteristics of each place are different from those of the local culture. It can also be seen that the process of achieving a healthy city lies in its focus. However, as Taiwan’s society faces a process of rapid urbanization, it has also started to actively promote low-carbon cities and build mass transit facilities in the hope of responding to urban development issues such as global warming and slowing down environmental pollution. However, most of the construction of Taiwan’s rapid transit facilities involves land With the development of the type of development-oriented transportation (ie., guided by market demand), where the development is going and where public works are carried out, the population driven by it is not the living environment and the pedestrian environment Certainly suitable for living health. Accordingly, this study explores Transit-Oriented-Development (TOD), a healthy community formed by four stations of Taipei MRT Bannan Line: Jiangzicui Station, Xinpu Station, Banciao Station and Fuchu Station Environment as an example, we use Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) and Analytic Network Process (ANP), and import Gray System Theory to construct TOD healthy community by Gray-ANP analysis Walk friendly environmental assessment index system, by using index gray weighted value to assess the TOD walk friendly environmental level and priority order, with a view to measuring environmental indicators from healthy walking friendly environment, view the environmental differences caused by uneven distribution of local resources to understand the public walking behavior patterns The cognitive gap with the environment.
