Abstract

Bandung, the study area, is characterized by a concentric land use pattern that radiates from mixed commercial area in the center to low density residential area in the periphery. This pattern generates significant traffic volume toward the city center. This traffic creates more emissions and degrades urban air quality since fossil fuel is dominantly used by vehicles in Bandung. This study analyses the correlation between land-use changes, traffic volume, and urban air quality. Longitudinal data of land-use changes and corresponding traffic volume caused by the changes have been investigated. In line with this, the correlation between traffic volume and the quantity of air pollutants i.e. SO2, and CO were established. It was found that three urban variables of land-use changes, traffic volume, and air quality are correlated.
