The identification of the relationship between land use and transport lays the foundation for integrated land use and transport planning and management. This work aims to investigate how rail transit is linked to land use. The research on the relationship between land use and rail-based transport is dominated by the impacts of rail projects on land use, without an in-depth understanding of the reverse. However, it is important to note that issues of operation management rather than new constructions deserve greater attention for regions with established rail networks. Given that there is a correspondence between land use patterns and spatial distribution of heavy railway transit (HRT) services at such regions, the study area (i.e., the Netherlands) is partitioned by the Voronoi diagram of HRT stations and the causal relationship between land use and HRT services is examined by structural equation modeling (SEM). The case study of Helmond (a Dutch city) shows the potential of the SEM model for discussing the rail station selection problem in a multiple transit station region (MTSR). Furthermore, in this study, the node place model is adapted with the derivatives of the SEM model (i.e., the latent variable scores for rail service levels and land use characteristics), which are assigned as node and place indexes respectively, to analyze and differentiate the integration of land use and HRT services at the regional level. The answer to whether and how land use affects rail transit services from this study strengthens the scientific basis for rail transit operations management. The SEM model and the modified node place model are complementary to be used as analytical and decision-making tools for rail transit-oriented regional development.

土地使用与运输之间关系的确定为土地使用与运输的综合规划和管理奠定了基础。这项工作旨在研究铁路运输与土地利用之间的联系。铁路项目对土地利用的影响主导了对土地利用与铁路运输之间关系的研究，而没有对反向发展的深入理解。但是，重要的是要注意，对于那些已建立铁路网的地区，运营管理而不是新的建设问题应该得到更多的关注。假设在此类区域（即研究区域），土地使用模式与重型铁路运输（HRT）服务的空间分布之间存在对应关系，（荷兰）由HRT站的Voronoi图划分，并通过结构方程模型（SEM）检验土地使用与HRT服务之间的因果关系。Helmond（荷兰城市）的案例研究显示了SEM模型在讨论多站台地区（MTSR）中的火车站选择问题方面的潜力。此外，在这项研究中，节点位置模型与SEM模型的导数（即铁路服务水平和土地利用特征的潜在变量得分）相适应，分别被分配为节点和位置索引，以进行分析和区分在区域一级整合土地使用和HRT服务。这项研究对土地使用是否以及如何影响铁路运输服务的答案，加强了铁路运输运营管理的科学基础。
