6、parking lots cover 5.65 km2 (1 397 acres) of Tippecanoe County, Indiana which implies that 0.44% of the county area is devoted to parking lots. Our results show that there are approximately 2.2 parking spaces per registe

10、ff; Heat islandsIntroductionAmerica’s love affair with the automobile is well known (Alvord, 2000). However, little is reported on the amount of space devoted to parking our vehicles as we shop, work, worship, or attend

11、school. Paved parking surfaces, also known as parking lots, are an insidious partner of increased urbanization particularly in regions experiencing rapid development. The national estimate of urban coverage is between 2%

12、 and 5%, and it is increasing rapidly (Jin and Zhang, 2002; Imhoff et al., 2000). Frequently cited culprits of urban sprawl have been residential development and shopping malls (Squires, 2002), but the proportion of the

13、urban landscape dedicated solely to parking lots has not been systematically documented.Parking lots are considered unattractive and hostile (Gibbons, 1999); they can increase congestion and lower land values (Wilson, 19

14、95), undermine walkability, are generally oversupplied (Mukhija and Shoup, 2006) and are a subtle subsidy to the automotive industry. Indeed we spend an inordinate amount of money and land to park our cars (Manville and

15、Shoup, 2005) at the expense of the environment, and the expansion of public transportation.Several decision making factors contribute toward large parking lots. First, most businesses when applying for a building permit

18、runoff produced by the imperviousness of the parking lots. Finally our discussion attempts to describe economic ramifications of excessive numbers of parking spaces and discusses how planning impacts parking lot size.Mea
