Abstract
Following the inclusion of new paradigms in urban planning, land use mixing has been identified as an important step towards achieving urban sustainable development goals. Given the many benefits of incorporating land use in an urban area, including reduced travel production rates, experts are trying to evaluate land use mixing in a variety of ways and as a central component in urban planning of taking advantage of it. Accordingly, the present study aims to investigate the benefits and impact of land use mixing on trip production in Baneh, Districts 5 and 6. This research is an applied and quantitative research. The research data is obtained through survey and questionnaire distribution as well as field surveys. Physically, the main difference between the two is the degree of mixing of land uses. Therefore, assessing the suitability of mixing these two neighborhoods can be a good guide for urban planning in Baneh. The results show that the mixing of land uses in neighborhood 6 is more than neighborhood 5 and consequently the production of travel within neighborhoods of area 6 is more than area 5. Also, the rate of out-of-district trip production in neighborhood 5 with less user mixing was higher than the rate of out-of-district neighborhood 6 in terms of mixed use. Therefore, the main focus of planning in Neighborhood 5 should be to increase land mixing, and in Neighborhood 6, maintaining and enhancing land mix quality should be considered.
