... Generally, land use models attempt to project future land use patterns based on historical trends, however, could potentially lead to biases or inaccuracies in the resulting land use and travel demand forecasts (Lemp et al., 2008). Because of this deficiency, scenario-based planning is increasingly applied since the late 1980s (Hickman et al., 2012;Jantz et al., 2004;Layman and Horner, 2010;Outwater et al., 2014;Shiftan et al., 2003;Waddell, 2011;Waddell, 2002;Wei et al., 2017). In a land use-transportation scenario planning, a set of land use scenarios that have certain probabilities of developing in the future or that are desired by planners is constructed first. ...
