Abstract

Transit-oriented developments (TOD) that are not focused on the considerations for the local community often lead to Transit-induced gentrification (TIG) together with its positive and negative effects. The study aims to capacitate local government units and local communities for the creation of community focused policies and plans to reduce the negative effects of gentrification. The primary method of research is the integration of community planning concepts into the existing TOD planning tools, the TOD-Suitability Index (TSI) to focus on the management of gentrification. The modified TSI will be used in a previously tested area and determine if the recommendations will vary and lean towards community-focused approach. Since the TSI is originally a qualitative planning framework, the addition of a community-focused criteria will help users of the tool envision TODs that are more mindful of the potential occurrence of gentrification.
