“…Group 2: Economic disparity factor has the second composite weight, with a value of 0.938, which consists of variables from EC1 to EC6. This is related to previous studies that found railways play a crucial role in economic disparity development [58,61,98]. Among the economic disparity factors, the variable with the highest loading in the model is EC6, "Having strategies to address poverty affects access to railways."…”

Countries that are still developing experience significant disparities in access to railway services, as these nations also grapple with societal inequality issues that remain unaddressed. In developed countries, railway transportation systems serve as the primary mode of transportation for both passengers and goods. However, in recent years, studies on disparities in developed countries have increased, while literature concerning developing countries remains scarce. Therefore, this study takes place in Thailand, a developing country facing significant population disparities. The objective is to examine factors contributing to these disparities in access to railway transportation systems across cities, using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to identify user disparities. The sample group comprises 1,252 randomly selected railway users from various regions in Thailand, obtained through Stratified Random Sampling. The results reveal seven dimensions of disparities: cultural, spatial, societal, political, knowledge-based, economic, and environmental. The CFA results also highlight cultural disparities as a significant factor in explaining access disparities among railway users. These findings can inform relevant organizations, aiding them in better understanding the actual needs of railway users and aligning railway development plans accordingly. Ultimately, this contributes to policy development aimed at reducing access disparities and fostering a more equitable society. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-03-01 Full Text: PDF

“…The method of adding control variables to the original model is used to test the robustness of the aforementioned SDM with spatiotemporal fixed effects. According to previous empirical literature on economic growth [ 58 , 59 ], railways improve regional accessibility, promote the rapid flow of production factors, enhance the effectiveness of spatial resource distribution, and realize the effect of factor agglomeration, which is an important factor affecting economic growth. We selected the density of the railway network (Way) as the added control variable, and the proportion of mileage of railway network operation in each province in relation to provincial area is used as a proxy variable.…”

The ability of fair investments in local general higher education to drive sustainable regional economic growth is explored. Based on spatial theory, the exploratory spatial data analysis method is used to examine the spatial characteristics of local general higher education expenditures in China’s 30 provinces from 2000 to 2021. The spatial Durbin model is employed to analyze the impact of education expenditures on regional economic growth. The results reveal that education expenditures had positive spatial autocorrelation. Education expenditures promoted regional economic growth, and the long-term effect was greater than the short-term effect. These expenditures also had a positive spillover effect, showing that strategic spatial interactions between provinces positively influence growth. The positive spillover effects nationwide and in the eastern region were significantly greater than the direct effect, whereas the spillover effects in both the middle and western regions were negative.

“…This exacerbates the economic differentiation between cities with distinct industrial structures. Yoo et al [27] conducted research on an HSR in Japan, specifically the Shinkansen, and discovered that the anticipated economic outcomes of the HSR may have both positive and negative impacts. Their findings revealed that, while the HSR brought economic benefits to developed areas, underdeveloped regions experienced negative or insignificant economic growth due to the introduction of the HSR.…”

The planning of urban transportation infrastructure and land-related policies has a significant impact on the living conditions of urban residents and socio-economic development, particularly in emerging economies. As urbanization continues to advance, Metropolitan Areas (MAs) have become crucial for achieving industrial coordination, functional complementarity between cities, and integrated regional development. Applying Social Network Analysis (SNA), the gravity model, and Quadratic Assignment Procedure (QAP) analysis, this study investigated the spatial-temporal distribution patterns of High-Speed Railway (HSR) networks and economic networks in MAs in China and the dynamic coupling relationship between these two networks. The findings revealed that, although core cities in the Yangtze River Delta MA in China exert varying degrees of radiation and driving effects on the economic development of surrounding cities, the overall development remains immature with a noticeable disequilibrium phenomenon. The coupling relationship between the HSR networks and the economic networks also differs significantly among different MAs. It is expected that the findings and suggestions of this study will contribute to the improvement of urban planning and governance and facilitate coordinated development between urban transportation infrastructure and the economy in emerging economies.
