Metamorphosis through Transition-The application of TOD as mobility / land-use model, and its applicability in the case of Tirana
Integrating this data into a model would be the overlay of the five components of measuring walkability using the ArcMap and borrowing information from the first two parameters which were measured in the first part, the findings of this walkability show clearly that the “no use”, betweenness is very high in all of our case studies indicating that walkability is not fragmented but is limited by the permeability of the in-between areas. This indicator can help to improve urban condition since pointing out the areas of distress within the areas is notable. For the translation of this method, we have translated the parameters into a model for continuity through a model builder:

Final data Aggregation
The importance of the data is only useful to professionals and planners, as a tool to measure a complete application of the TOD concept and its components. From our previous analyses we have identified the four main indicators with which we can measure the application of TOD. Our components have been treated as parts of a puzzle, as an attempt to create a relationship between these indicators and the urban condition.
