“…Our study has observed that railway infrastructure significantly varies from station to station due to differential spatial organisations. Similar kind of result has been found in the work of Palin et al (2021), Besinovic (2020), Gašparík and Cempírek (2019), Funk et al (2019), Gasparik et al (2018), Kasraian et al (2016), , Lindfeldt (2015), Debrezion et al (2007). After critical discussion on the findings it can be asserted that comparatively less complex physio-environmental location has relatively better railway infrastructure.…”

The main aim of the article is to understand the role of physiographical aspects and attributes in the infrastructural development of railway stations. Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System techniques have been used for delineating physiographic factors and data of social interfaces like passengers’ mobility collected from the railway stations. A robust Synthetic Indicator has been used to classify railway stations. The ordinal regression model has run between physio-environmental attributes and Robust Synthetic Indicator. Due to its unique valley and ridge topography and newly developed railway infrastructure, Phenomenological evidence is collected from Tripura, North-eastern state of India. Very few studies have been done addressing the development of railway stations with physio-environmental viability. The study reveals that the physical environment is a significant determining factor, but passenger mobility has a more decisive influence on the infrastructural development of railway stations in Tripura. Infrastructure-driven materialistic possibilism has been proposed as a philosophical model of the infrastructural development of railway stations.

“…Cost analysis in the railway construction project is divided into several components, namely investment costs, annual costs, and revenue. Investment costs include the cost of providing consular services and include costs for project preparation and documentation, annexation and acquisition of land, construction, technology sets, technical assistance, promotion, technical supervision, and reserves [19].…”

The growth of container flows that is not supported by infrastructure needs has caused goods congestion at Tanjung Perak Port. The situation has an impact on the flow of goods and makes container mobilization stop flowing. Railway infrastructure construction is expected to overcome the problem of goods congestion, especially because this project will be integrated with other transportation at the Port in an intermodal transportation system. The Delphi method is used as an approach to get the dominant aspect to be analyzed in a feasibility study of a railway construction project at the Port of Tanjung Perak. Delphi method results show that the financial aspect and market aspect are the dominant parameters to be analyzed in the feasibility study of a railway construction project. The results of the market feasibility analysis showed that 87.67% of stakeholders agreed with the railway development project plan, with a target market of 19.99% of the number of containers and absorption of around 84% of the target market. The results of the financial feasibility analysis are obtained, the Net Present Value (NPV) is 1,184,370> 0 (profitable project), the Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR) is 1.39 ≥ 1 (the project is feasible), and the value of the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is 13%> MARR, (investment is feasible). From the results of the financial feasibility analysis, the railway construction project is categorized as possible. Meanwhile, the break-even point for this project is in the 12th year with the results of a profit-loss analysis showing that in the fourth year, the railway operational activities have shown a positive trend/profit.

The concept of value in sustainable infrastructure systems: a literature review

Infrastructure choices and decisions widely employ the language of value, whether to articulate what is worthwhile or to debate which principles or approaches are most appropriate to specific contexts. As the world strives to achieve long-term sustainability goals, incorporating sustainability values into infrastructure decision-making becomes progressively more important. Yet, the term ‘value’ has been used under different meanings and implications throughout the infrastructure sustainability literature, obstructing the debate on which values are important and what is valuable to infrastructure decision-making processes. This paper reviews how the concept of value has been used to position different sustainability dimensions of large infrastructure systems. Specifically, a conceptual framework proposed by Tadaki et al is used to highlight different notions of infrastructure value under four general headings: value as a magnitude of preference, as a contribution to specified goals, as a means of communicating key priorities, and as a representation of historical relations. This review shows that the discussion of infrastructure value has often focussed on monetary measures to the exclusion of other relevant measures of value. However, if long-term sustainability goals are to be met, a transformation of the ways that value is understood and measured in the context of infrastructure systems is required. This review discusses key similarities, interdependencies, and disparities between published notions of infrastructure value in order to provide a conceptual reference guide that highlights the variety of perspectives that are both implicit and explicit among practitioners and academics.
