Functional Layout Planning Study For Urban Core Area Of High-speed Railway Station

With the population of high-speed railway, the planning and construction of China urban high-speed railway station and it's surrounding areas is full in swing. It is estimated that by the year 2012,804 modern high-speed railway stations will be built in China. The scale of development and construction is so large that it's obviously important to research the function and layout of the surrounding area of high-speed railway station. It can be seen that high-speed railway stations will be located in the outer regions of the down town in most cities by researching the relationship between High Speed-Rail Station and the down town. This is exactly the range of the research project.As the core area, it is most strongly and directly affected by the high-speed railway station, and is also the focus of planning and construction of high-speed railway stations areas in various urban. So the object and objective of this paper is the planning of function and layout of the core area of high-speed railway station.According to several typical cases, the paper analyzed the necessary conditions for the successful development of the core area of high-speed railway station; researched the target location on development of the high-speed railway station from three levels; researched the type of function structure and the characteristics of the layout of functions of the core area of high-speed railway station in a systematic way by using comparative analysis and case study; investigated the pattern of space use and development intensity of the core area of high-speed railway stations, proposed layout principles of subsurface development and utilization; researched the layout of the transport interchange facility of the core area of high-speed railway station, proposed the layout principle of the transport interchange facilities. Finally, the paper selected the planning of Changsha Station of Wuhan-Guangzhou Railway as the case to research, investigated the planning of the functions layout of the core area of high-speed railway stations, analyzed and explained the function of development of the high-speed railway stations in border district of the city from three levels of transport, economic and he showcase of the region, as well as, under the guidance of the function of development, the type of function structure of the high-speed railway stations is mainly based on tertiary industry commerce and service sector, the corresponding application of hybrid-type composite characteristics of the functions layout and circle-type space layout structure in practice, to provide a reference and guidance to the planning of function and layout of the core area of high-speed railway station areas in the future.
