A STUDY ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LAND USE AND URBAN TRANSPORT WITH FUEL CONSUMPTION IN JAVA

The aim of this research is to analyze the relationship between land use and city transportation and fuel consumption. Transportation, land use and fuel consumption have a strategic role in economy and environment, so attention should be given at the local, national and global level. The data on fuel consumption and land use are then analyzed by using a bivariate analysis. The results show that the linear relationship between areas of developed land for cities in Java and fuel consumption/population is rather weak with R²=0.326 and the equation of y= 0.000 x + 0.149. The trend of land use shows that the more mixed the land use is, the lower the fuel consumption/capita will be. The exponential relationship between mixed land use of developed land areas and fuel consumption is weak with the equation of y= 1.508e - 2.01x, and R=0.046. The fuel consumption in the city is reduced by reducing travel length or distance of the people, and the travel length is reduced by adopting the compact and mixed land use, leading to an environmentally-friendly transportation system.
