Abstract

Transit-oriented development (TOD) is an important approach to achieve sustainable
development (SD) near rail transit stations. However, more discussion regarding the analysis of the
developmental progression of TOD in conjunction with sustainable development (STOD) is essentially
required in this moment. Then, to identify knowledge gaps and development trends is necessary
for developing the general criteria and assessing sustainable development in the area. This article
systematically reviews the literature by collecting data from the Scopus database over 25 years
(1997-2021) and employing the VOSviewer software for bibliographic analysis. This method offers
quantitative statistical advantages and comprehensive data visualization and then facilitating the
analysis of developmental changes over time. The research findings indicate the following results:
The number of articles focusing on sustainable transit-oriented development increased from 1 to
103 in 1997 and 2021 respectively. Results showed that the journal “Sustainability (Switzerland),”
is the most publishing on this topic with 18.2 percent. Additionally, the most cited article (195 citations)
is “Suburbanization and transit-oriented development in China,”. The author with the most citations
is Robert Cervero, cited 534 times. The keywords were categorized into four groups: “Urban
Development” (42 occurrences), “Transportation Development” (36 occurrences), “Land Use”
(33 occurrences), and “Urban Growth” (20 occurrences). The development progression of sustainable
transit- oriented development over the 25 years can be divided into three phases: urban planning
(1997-2001), land use (2002-2011), and urban development (2012-2021). Overall, eight keywords
were assigned for analyzing both TOD and STOD (Sustainable TOD): “Transportation Development,”
“Urban Development,” “Urban Planning,” “Urban Transport,” “Transportation Planning,” “Public
Transport,” “Land Use,” and “Travel Behavior.” These eight keywords was considered as the central
and general topics for assessing both TOD and STOD. However, the main perspectives differ, with
TOD focusing on “Transportation Development” but STOD on “Urban Development.” This research
also highlights the importance of sustainable transit-oriented development (STOD) and its global
trend over the past 25 years. The findings suggest that STOD should be concerned and adopted in
all countries, especially those underdeveloped nations, in order to apply general guidance of urban
development to perform alignment with international standards.
