An Investigation of the MRTS Corridor and Its Impact on the Urban Land Influence Area: A Case Study of Delhi Metro Rail

Abstract

Mass rapid transit system is regarded as the optimal solution for a congested urban transit corridor. Primarily, MRTS influences land values, accessibility, travel patterns, and land use. It has the potential to expand access to remote regions and stimulate urban redevelopment. Conversely, in the absence of well-planned MRTS nodes, disorderly urban transformations ensue due to sensitive accessibility and, as a consequence, land valuation escalates, ultimately succumbing to market forces. As a consequence, disorder and congestion ensue, and instantaneous progressions transpire along the MRTS corridor and within their area of influence.  The purpose of this study is to determine the causes and effects of Metro on the land values and land use patterns in the locality area as A Case Study of Delhi Metro Rail. The character composition of the area chosen for the research is entirely distinct from that of other regions where metro rail has been installed. This area includes several metro stations, including Lakshmi Nagar, Nirman Vihar, and Preet Vihar. In this study primary data collection is conducted through the utilization of GIS and Erdas Imagine software to map the existing land use of the area, in addition to conducting field surveys. Prior to commencing the primary survey, a handheld GPS was utilized to gather location data and conduct intelligence. The methodology utilized was predominately based on a comparison between the designated corridor before and after the construction of the metro. By analyzing this case study, the research will enable policymakers and planners to assess the effects of MRTS and develop strategies for the future.
