Links are the roads. In an airline network, nodes are the airports, links are the air routes. In a railroad freight network, nodes are loading/unloading points and switching points). 9 A trip from one zone to another zone is referred as interzonal Intrazonal trips refer to travel that occurs within a particular zone or area, such as within a single neighborhood, town or city. For example, a person driving from their home to a local grocery store would be making an intrazonal trip. On the other hand, interzonal trips refer to travel that occurs between different zones or areas. For example, a person driving from one town to another for work or leisure would be making an interzonal trip. Understanding the difference between these two types of trips is important in transportation planning because they can have different impacts on traffic flow, travel patterns, and overall demand for transportation infrastructure. Intrazonal trips may be more common for short trips or routine activities, while interzonal trips may involve longer distances and have more variability in terms of purpose and travel behavior. 10 Headway is sum of Total passenger service time and time needed to open and close the doors 11 Mixture of cement, fine gravel, coarse and water is called cement concrete Usama Hassan Fiaz Farooq Nida Naeem Updated By: Fiaz Farooq Yumna Qadeer No. of posts: 2 Dated: 29-05-2022 12 Metropolitan regions are functional regions (Metropolitan areas are good examples of functional regions because they feature central, dense districts influencing surrounding areas. Metropolitan areas in the US have extensive urban sprawl). 13 Imbalance in regional growth controlled by Regional planning 14 Regional planning relates to area specific approach of development 15 On which factors economic development of a region depends: resources 16 Rank size rule: The rank-size rule is a rule about an inverse size to rank, often described as the size of cities in a country. The rank-size rule says that the second-largest city will have half the population as the largest. The third largest city will have one-third the size, and the fourth will be one-quarter the size of the largest, and so on and so forth. In other words, you can estimate a city's population size based on its rank relative to the largest city in the country. The specific formula for the rank size rule is 1/nth, where n equals the ranking of the size of the city in the country. For example, Los Angeles, California is the second largest city in the United States. Therefore, its ranking would be two, and in the rank-size formula, n would equal two. The rank-size rule has been inspired by Zipf's Law, which is a law used in natural and social sciences to reflect inverse proportionality between things relative to their ranks. 17 Risk assessment definition: A risk assessment is a process to identify potential hazards and analyze what could happen if a hazard occurs. A business impact analysis (BIA) is the process for determining the potential impacts resulting from the interruption of time sensitive or critical business processes. 18 Development included local people (participatory planning) 19 Blue area means commercial 20 Downtown means CBD 21 Trio work-folk introduced by patrick gaddis Patrick Geddes is also known as “Father of Modern Town Planning”. Sir Patrick Geddes was a Scottish biologist, sociologist, geographer, philanthropist and pioneering town planner. He is known for his innovative thinking in the fields of urban planning and sociology. He introduced the concept of "region" to architecture and planning and coined the term "conurbation". Geddes developed a new approach to regional and town planning based on the integration of people and their livelihood into the environmental givens of the particular place and region they inhabit. Geddes illustrated the section using the locally available landscapes of Edinburgh and its hinterland. The Geddes Plan for Tel Aviv was the first master city plan for Tel Aviv.

He emphasized that sound planning decisions have to be based on a detailed regional survey, which established an inventory of a regionʼs hydrology, geology, flora, fauna, climate and natural topography, as well as its social and economic opportunities and challenges. As such the Geddesian methodology pioneered the bioregional planning approach more than 70 years before the emergence of bioregionalism. 22 Principal of ekistics introduced by doxiades The term ekistics was coined by Constantinos Apostolos Doxiadis in 1942. Ekistics is the science of human settlements including regional, city, community planning and dwelling design. Its major incentive was the emergence of increasingly large and complex conurbations, tending even to a worldwide city. The study involves every kind of human settlement, with particular attention to geography, ecology, human psychology, anthropology, culture, politics, and occasionally aesthetics. 23 Le corbusier theory A city build for speed is built for success.

It depends primarily on the type of soil, its shear strength and its density. It also depends on the depth of embedment of the load – the deeper it is founded, the greater the bearing capacity. 76 Business enhancing factors outside a company but within the industry (economies of scale) 77 Russia asked (china) to pay in (rubble) 78 Pakistan discussed about (oil and gas) with russia 79 60-day food for 200 people.
