3、 Determining Appropriate Levels of Density near Airports II. RESARCH PROBLEM STATEMENT Determining appropriate levels of density near airports is often a daunting task, since little research is available on the topic. While this may be difficult, the establishment of acceptable density and intensity
4、 levels is necessary in order to lower the risk and better protect populations in proximity to airports in the even of an aircraft crash. Consideration was given to the topic of land use density and the intensity of use, as it relates to compatibility with airports in ACRP Project 03- 03 Enhancing A
5、irport Land Use Compatibility. It is readily acknowledged that different land uses have different levels of density associated with them with regards to the amount of ground area they cover. Additionally, these same land uses can often have a diverse level of intensity of use in terms of the number
6、of times in which persons are utilizing the land use and the number of persons within the structures or land area. These two issues are an important element in the discussion of land use compatibility; however, it is likely one of the hardest to define. Since there are very few studies available whi
7、ch address what is deemed to be adequate or acceptable levels of density and intensity of use, it is recommended that additional research be done to address this issue. Most likely, this research should be partnered with the accident data research to assess the impacts of previous accidents on surro
8、unding land uses to evaluate possible trends. The primary questions that need answers include: How do we determine whether or not a certain level of density is acceptable? How do we maintain safety levels associated with density? III. OBJECTIVE The objective of this research is to develop a set of s
9、tandard densities in various types of land uses that can be used as a benchmark to determine acceptable levels of density around airports within individual communities. IV. RESEARCH PROPOSED It is hoped that through different areas of research, some specific levels of allowable densities can be dete
10、rmined and implemented to better protect airports and their surrounding communities. Therefore there are several steps suggested to help reach this goal: Literature review - Identify any source of existing data on density levels by types of use. Sources such as APA and individual airport/community l
11、and use plans would be sought. Using existing data on accident locations, or upcoming ACRP projects that address this issue, specific ground areas near airports would be identified to delineate areas of concern where density and intensity of use should be considered or evaluated. Case studies could
12、be conducted at a range of airports to assess current density and intensity levels to create a base line condition. Criteria which may attribute to the definition of a specific densities and intensities by land use should be identified and considered. Examples may include o The amount of lot coverag
13、e per land use o The number of persons per acre for various land use types o The amount of required open space o Draining and parking lot requirements o Location of use Criteria related to airport operations should also be defined, which attribute to specific geographic areas of concern. For example
14、, the approach areas for a commercial service airport are different than a traditional rectangular traffic pattern for GA airports. A document which would provide guidance on the definition and calculation of appropriate land use densities and intensities of use near airports would be developed base
15、d upon the research. V. ESTIMATE OF THE PROBLEM FUNDING AND RESEARCH PERIOD Funds: $400,000 Contract Time: 18-24 months VI. URGENCY AND PAYOFF POTENTIAL Defining appropriate levels of density and intensity of land uses near airports will provide measurements that can be used nationwide to determine
16、the level of compatibility a particular land use has with airport environs based on the estimated density associated with the type of land use. As local communities expand and the demand for airport development increases, the incidences of incompatible land use grows near airports across the nation.
17、 Providing guidance on specific ranges of appropriate densities and intensities of use is imperative to support the creation of local land use plans. VII. RELATED RESEARCH As part of the ACRP 03-03 Project, it was determined that a difficulty for local communities in developing airport land use plan
18、s is the definition of appropriate land use densities. Guidance on the issue was requested from various case study participants. VIII. PERSON(S) DEVELOPING THE PROBLEM Stephanie A.D.
