“…Exploration into impact of transport infrastructure on regional and global development continues to attract particular interest in the international scientific community. On the one hand, researchers are interested in economic aspects and the effects of the influence of transport routes on the level of economic development of regions of different geographical locations [5][6][7][8][9]. On the other hand, they draw attention to social issues, such as population mobility and aspects related to quality of life [10,11].…”

This paper aims to identify details of interaction and mutual influence of tourism and transport infrastructure development using a combination of sociological and statistical methods. For the analysis, five key sites were selected in several parts of Siberia, differing in natural, socio-economic, and ethnocultural quality, but possessing the presence of compact indigenous communities that reproduce traditional forms of both cultural life and economic activity. While each community has its own unique culture and resources for development, several similar characteristics were revealed. It has been revealed that tourists themselves and workers of the tourism sector, including local residents, are unequivocal supporters of transportation system development. A significant part of the population, recognizing the need and advantages of having a well-functioning transport infrastructure, expresses a negative attitude towards easy accessibility of the territory for outsiders who violate the rules and regime for usage of natural resources and augment economic and cultural competition for the local population. Understanding key processes of interrelations, both explicit and hidden, concomitant to socioeconomic development of remote indigenous communities, with the simultaneous development of tourism and transport, allows the authors to propose a model outline of attitudes of local communities towards tourist and transport perspectives in the territory of their residence.

“…Seaports are regional infrastructure wherein the focus of the supply chain is to find the most effective and efficient way in implementing value-added products, in order to obtain solutions of complex problems related to consumers' demand (Feame et al, 2001). The causal relationship between the port infrastructure investments and productivity towards the economic growth of the archipelagic regions is still to be proven (Baird, 1998). Concepts which bridge global prospectives calculate the effect of transportation investment on both the micro and macro level, where the economic model is developed to analyze the effect of transportation planning (Treyz, 1998).…”

The performance of a seaport is determined by the coherence between the optimal dimensions of the seaport and the economic potential of the area where the seaport is located. Otherwise, the economic potential of the region can drive how big the port should be developed. To study the behavior of seaport parameters on regional archipelagic economic zones, dynamics models are used, where the econometric model is applied to the completion of the Cobb-Douglas production equation. The results obtained by this analysis showed that the increased volume of loading/unloading cargo is correlated to local economic growth; and, the increase of loading/unloading of cargo can promote the growth of the region's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Increased volume of loading-unloading cargo is correlated to the growth of vessel hold capacity/deadweight tonnage (DWT). GDP growth is correlated to the demand load capacity of the vessel (DWT); and the increase of GDP requires definition of a length of berth (Lb). Hence, it is concluded that there is a strong influence between the development of port dimensions and the economic growth of archipelagic regions.

The port is a gateway region's economy. Investment performance is important that an effective and efficient port to ensure smooth supply chain needs of the region and promote economic growth. This study aims to model the port investment relationship with economic growth. Quantitative analysis and econometric modeling is used in statistical testing, studies typically classified in two areas, namely: the north and south islands of Maluku. The northern and southern regions and the increase in the loading dock term investment to drive economic growth, but the number of visits relation ship with economic growth negative influence.

Investasi menjadi penting kinerja pelabuhan yang efektif dan efisien dapat menjamin kelancaran rantai pasok kebutuhan wilayah dan mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi. Kajian ini bertujuan memodelkan hubungan investasi pelabuhan dengan pertumbuhan ekonomi. Analisis kuantitatif dan pemodelan ekonometrika digunakan dalam pengujian statistik, kajian diklasifikasikan pada dua tipikal wilayah, yaitu: Utara dan Selatan kepulauan Maluku.
