Electronic Payments; a Step towards Reducing Intra-Town Trips and Sustainable Urban Architecture (Case Study: Yazd Township) Original Article, D24 DehghanpoorA. R., MahmoodiNia M. and RezaieH. Journal. Civil Eng. Urban. 4(2): 151-155. 2014 ABSTRACT: The quick growth of the population of the country and the subsequent growth in urban development cause an increase in population concentration, environmental pollution, traffic load, and consequently, in time waste. Amongst the demands of urban population, solving the problem of traffic and transportation is of great significance. Therefore, employing strategies to reduce the load of traffic in cities seems necessary. Information and Communication Technology is one of these strategies, which has currently substituted physical intra-town trips with electronic trips, and by such substitution, some countries have saved millions of dollars which was to be spent on building new passages and high ways. Hence, the present study aims to investigate the effect of electronic payments on reduction of intra-town trips. Research population consists of three neighborhoods of Yazd Township that were selected via clustering analysis. Inferential statistics including Spearman Correlation was used for data analysis. The results of the study show that there is a significant correlation between electronic payment and reduction of intra-town trips, and subsequently consolidation of urban architecture.
