ABSTRACT:
With the increasing number of city cars, traffic jams and parking difficulties
have become a bottleneck of urban development. Creating the conditions to
achieve the dynamic balance between road and automobile resources and allocate
the parking resources reasonably is not only beneficial to the rapid development
of cities, but also convenient for people to travel by bus or car. It
can also ensure orderly parking, implementation of normative management,
which can solve the problem of traffic jam and parking difficulties thoroughly.
This paper takes the city of Hangzhou as an example, discussing the existing
problems and countermeasures in urban parking planning and management.
This paper first analyzes the existing problems in Hangzhou parking management
from aspects, such as the serious shortage of parking lots, the lack of
a clear management body, the inefficient use of car parks in some areas and
lack of a long-term mechanism to attract social forces to participate in car
park construction, and then proposes solutions to the problems from different
aspects, such as giving full play to the pilot role of urban parking planning and
management, establishing and improving the mechanism on parking lot
management, and introduces social forces to participate in the construction
and management of car parks, which provides reference for the planning and
management of urban parking lot in China.
