| Abstract | Bandung, the study area, is characterized by a concentric land use pattern which radiates from mixed commercial area in the center to low density residential area in the periphery. This pattern generates extensive traffic toward the city center. The extensive traffic creates more emission and degrades urban air quality, since fossil fuel is dominantly used by vehicles in Bandung. This study is aiming at ascertaining appropriate policy instruments in the arena of land use, traffic and air pollution nexus, in order to improve urban air quality in the study area. Land use pattern, traffic and air pollution in the study area are analyzed to discover the correlation among them. A multivariate correlation between traffic volume and land use is developed, likewise relationships between traffic volume and the quantity of six principal air pollutants, such as NOx, SOx, PM, CO, HC and O3, are established. Analysis on current national and city level policy instruments on land use, transportation and environment are undertaken to comprehend their strengths as well as weaknesses toward the improvement of urban air quality in Bandung. With this comprehension, a set of policy instruments and strategic plans on land use, traffic and air pollution fields in both national and city level can be established. |
