Abstract:	1. In land use – transport planning, we need to recognise which economic development stage we are in and how the next era will be. Economic growth triggers urbanisation, namely population increase in cities caused by migration from rural areas. Economic growth also increases personal income which promotes the motorisation. The speed of car ownership growth is usually much faster than road infrastructure improvement because cars are much cheaper than the cost of constructing and maintaining the road space for a car to run. This simple mechanism creates serious traffic congestion, economic loss, air pollution and greenhouse gas. However, it is not well recognised by politicians and policymakers in many countries. The implications of the mechanism mentioned above will be discussed in the presentation. 2. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, more people are spending time at home, where they adapt to do more various activities such as work, learn, enjoy relaxing than before. A questionnaire survey on residential preference were conducted with valid 164 respondents. It is found that nearly half of them changed and had their main activity done at home. Having extra time for doing activities that were not possible in the pre-COVID19 period are favored. This lifestyle change likely influences change in residential preference. The objective of the study is to examine factors that influence residential choices in which the respondents have experienced COVID-19 pandemic situation. Variation of preferences among different respondents having different socioeconomic characteristics and tastes or attitudes are also examined. Binary choice situation was experimented based on stated preference. 3 choice tasks were conducted for each respondent. House attributes are price, size, and location. Amenity or service attributes are free high-speed internet, free food delivery, free shuttle bus to railway station, and free micromobility. Locational attributes are proximity to railway station, proximity to neighborhood or local shops, and the neighborhood walking environment. The result of multinomial logit models reveals different preference for different income group, e.g., walking environment is preferable for highincome group while neighborhood or local store is desired for medium-income group. 3. This research reviews existing studies to explore further possibilities of modelling land use and transport interactions from a behavioral and psychological perspective. First, we describe travel behavior in the context of the built environment, summarize features of travel behavior decision-making, and overview researches on social psychology related to travel and other behaviors in life. Second, associations between travel behavior and other life choice behaviors (residential behavior, work, household budget, energy consumption, health, neighborhood, education and learning, household life, leisure and recreation) are illustrated, linking with social psychological research. Third, research based on the life-oriented approach for addressing the interactions between land use and transport is introduced, especially focusing on multiple self-selection issues, life-course interactions, and multiple behavioral changes. Finally, some key findings and future research issues are summarized. 4. Many megacities in the world, especially Bangkok, are facing severe congestion in road traffic and public transport, particularly during peak hours. This situation causes worsen the quality of life and emissions causing air pollution and climate change. Applying ICT-based solutions to reform people's activities and travels is an alternative solution. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is one of the solutions that persuade people to use public modes of transport. However, the transport mode shift means of the MaaS concept is not enough to mitigate peak-hours congestion, which the source of the problem is caused by people's activities such as traditional 9-to-5 working. Therefore, ICT can be utilized to induce not only transport mode shift but also workplace shift and working time shift in terms of the daily activity-travel planning service 5. The city center is an essential component of urban structure that rules urban activities. In Bangkok, Thailand, the railway network is expanding that is expected to affect the city center locations. In this study, we estimate the effect of public transport network on the accumulation of three types of urban core facilities based on the spatial statistical approach, that leads to the future perspective of locations of those facilities. As a result, the expected number of facilities in the current urban core in Bangkok decreases and the number of facilities at stations on the planned network increases under certain conditions. 6. Urban life in Bangkok is currently undergoing a multitude of drastic changes due to a suite of socio-demographic, technological, and economic factors. In this talk, I will present key findings from an ongoing research project entitled “The Futures of Thai Urban Life,” including key drivers of change, baseline future, and alternative scenarios of urban life in the city. I will then discuss the implications for transport-land use planning in the megacity

Abstract:

1. In land use – transport planning, we need to recognise which economic development stage we are in and how the next
era will be. Economic growth triggers urbanisation, namely population increase in cities caused by migration from rural
areas. Economic growth also increases personal income which promotes the motorisation. The speed of car ownership
growth is usually much faster than road infrastructure improvement because cars are much cheaper than the cost of
constructing and maintaining the road space for a car to run. This simple mechanism creates serious traffic congestion,
economic loss, air pollution and greenhouse gas. However, it is not well recognised by politicians and policymakers in
many countries. The implications of the mechanism mentioned above will be discussed in the presentation.

2. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, more people are spending time at home, where they adapt to do more various
activities such as work, learn, enjoy relaxing than before. A questionnaire survey on residential preference were
conducted with valid 164 respondents. It is found that nearly half of them changed and had their main activity done at
home. Having extra time for doing activities that were not possible in the pre-COVID19 period are favored. This lifestyle
change likely influences change in residential preference. The objective of the study is to examine factors that influence
residential choices in which the respondents have experienced COVID-19 pandemic situation. Variation of preferences
among different respondents having different socioeconomic characteristics and tastes or attitudes are also examined.
Binary choice situation was experimented based on stated preference. 3 choice tasks were conducted for each
respondent. House attributes are price, size, and location. Amenity or service attributes are free high-speed internet,
free food delivery, free shuttle bus to railway station, and free micromobility. Locational attributes are proximity to railway
station, proximity to neighborhood or local shops, and the neighborhood walking environment. The result of multinomial
logit models reveals different preference for different income group, e.g., walking environment is preferable for highincome group while neighborhood or local store is desired for medium-income group.

3. This research reviews existing studies to explore further possibilities of modelling land use and transport interactions
from a behavioral and psychological perspective. First, we describe travel behavior in the context of the built
