| Abstract | People have to use transportation in daily life not only private vehicles but also public transportations . In term of public transportations, public transportation system and transport facilities are very important for traveling , working and studying . Hence, having public transportation in resident areas is a necessary factor . However, there are some areas which have no public transportation . Therefore , this thesis work aimed to study about public transportation connectivity and accessibility in Bangkok . There are four objectives in this study which are; 1 ) to identify service areas of public transportations by using GIS dataset and questionnaires . 2 ) to indicate black spot areas of public transportation . 3 ) to study about the relationship for accessing the main public transportation in black spot areas by using GPS log data . 4 ) to detect coverage areas of motorcycle ’ s taxi stations by using GPS log data . From these objectives, this thesis used Mode ’ s detection ( Kunnaree, 2015 ) and GIS techniques to analyze all data such as Construct Sight Lines and Network Analysis . Also, this study used PostgreSQL for database management and Heatmap in QGIS for point density . As a result, this thesis work can identify service areas and black spot areas of public transportations in Bangkok . Also, using Mode ’ s detection can explain how people move inside black spot areas . In addition, to finding out the coverage of motorcycle ’s taxi stations can estimate how they cover the black spot areas which is very useful for people w ho are living there . |
