Abstract

The transit-oriented development (TOD) model provides benefits to urban areas in terms of transportation, the economy, society, and the environment. Given the complexity and limitations arising from the various backgrounds, objectives, and other aspects of previous studies, empirical research on specific cases has often failed to fully analyze the influence of built environment indicators on TOD performance. This paper systematically reviews and analyzes related empirical studies conducted worldwide up until June 2023. The correlations between built environment indicators and their impacts on TOD performance indicators are visualized and measured. General patterns of the influences of built environment indicators on TOD performance are summarized using social network analysis (SNA), and the key indicators are identified via cluster analysis. Finally, by analyzing the key indicators such as diversity, density, design, and distance to transit stations, as well as their associated built environment indicators, the built environment characteristics that ensure TOD performance are thoroughly examined. These insights provide a better understanding of the influences of the built environment on TOD performance, thus offering guidance for the development and application of the TOD model.
