Abstract
Land-use and transport are related to each other in a dynamic, non-linear system. Railway stations represent urban places and transport nodes that can play a key role in integrated land-use and transport planning. However, ongoing measures of station development often disregard the complex interactions due to lacking methodological instruments. The objective of this contribution is to highlight the key characteristics, the interest and the limits of Systems Thinking approaches (Sensitivity Model/Systems Dynamics) for integrated land-use and transport planning. Systems Thinking methods enable to clarify regional strategies and local implementation measures. If the missing spatial dynamics can be overcome and if the coupling with behavioral aspects can be improved, perspectives are expected for fostering innovative methods as precious basics for successful planning processes.
