| Abstract: | The spatial distribution and locational impact of fuel service stations play a crucial role in urban planning, transportation, and environmental management. This thesis aims to assess and analyze the spatial distribution patterns of petrol service stations, as well as their locational impact on surrounding areas. By understanding the current distribution patterns, policymakers and urban planners can make informed decisions to optimize the placement of petrol service stations for efficient access, minimize adverse environmental effects, and enhance urban sustainability. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining spatial analysis techniques, GIS, and qualitative data analysis. It will examine the spatial distribution patterns of fuel service stations in Kathmandu, identifying any clustering or spatial variations. Additionally, the research investigates the locational impact of these stations on surrounding areas, including traffic congestion, air quality, land use, and socio-economic factors. |
| Description: | The findings of this research will contribute to enhancing urban sustainability in Kathmandu. By understanding the spatial distribution of fuel service stations, policymakers and urban planners can make informed decisions to optimize their placement for efficient access and minimize adverse environmental effects. The research also addresses the potential environmental implications of fuel service stations, providing insights into air pollution and carbon emissions. Furthermore, by considering socio-economic aspects, such as accessibility and social equity, the study aims to ensure that the placement of fuel service stations caters to the diverse needs and preferences of the community. |
