In order to describe  the interaction between land use and transportation , the urban  system was divided into three major sectors, namely, a basic  sector, a service sector, and a household sector. The basic  sector is the export sector, in which employment and location  are not affected by local events. The location and leveL of  the remaining sectors are depended on the location and level  of the basic sector.  The model structure consists of the rural- urban migration  concept and the Lawry's concept . Based on the Lawry's concept  the model structure can sub-divided into two major allocation  submodels, namely, the residential location submodel and the  service location submodel. In this study, urban activity  groups were allocated through the study area according to  their travelling behaviours, and were constrained by the  buildings and the transportation network .  For calibration and prediction steps, the model was  calibrated by adjusting its parameters so as to produce as  closely as possible existing urban activities. Then, the model  was applied to study the number of policy issues relevant to  fast- growing of the Chiang Mai urban area. These policies  included new transportation facilities, increased labour- force  participation , and changes in land- use patterns. Finally, the  model outputs indicated that basic employment, service  employment, and population seemed to di versify from inner  areas to outer areas when urban development policies were  implemented. 0aUrban transportationxThailandxChiang Mai 0aLand use, UrbanxThailandxChiang Mai1 aFukuda, Atsushi, eChairperson1 aYordphol Tanaboriboon, eExamination Committee1 aMori, Hiroshi, eExamination Committee2 aThe Government of Australia, eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
