Maps have always “enriched everyone’s understanding of existing and planned development, locations for new facilities, and accessibility provided by transport.” (Slavin, 2004). The last two decades of the twentieth century brought rapid evolution of Geographic Information System (GIS), thus making GIS an essential technology for urban and regional planning. To perform analysis in a variety of disciplines, including land use and transportation planning, the introduction of GIS has helped significantly in the integration of data with geographic elements. The application of GIS in the land use and transportation planning is classically seen as, modeling scenarios to predict the effects of potential policy changes. It also facilitates the planning related decision-making process. Application of GIS in the form of spatial and network analysis plays a very important role in land use and transportation planning.
