“…Majority of the studies found association of social and economic infrastructure with the economic growth; however, Singh (2022) found no association between social infrastructure and economic growth for the state of Punjab in India. Contrary to it, Misra (2015) studied the relationship of the availability of infrastructure with output of twenty-eight states of India and concluded that social infrastructure has greater impact on output than economic infrastructure.…”

Infrastructure is sine qua non for pacing the growth and sustaining the development of an economy especially the developing ones. Objectives: This study aims to identify the districts and regions of Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state of India, lagging in terms of availability of social and economic infrastructure so that special transformational policies can be implemented for these areas. Moreover, the study also analyses the relationship between availability of infrastructure and socio-economic development of the districts and regions of the state. Methods/Approach: Composite Indices for social infrastructure, economic infrastructure and socio-economic development have been constructed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for analyzing the performance of the districts and regions of the state. Regression analysis is used to analyze the relationship between social and economic infrastructure and socio-economic development of the districts and regions of the state. Results: Most of the districts of the state are having strong relationship between availability of economic infrastructure and the level of socio-economic development. However, no such relationship has been observed between social infrastructure and socio-economic development. Conclusions: The study is very relevant from policy making point of view as Uttar Pradesh, with its large population and low per capita income, is key to forging India's overall socio-economic development.

“…These findings indicate that increasing investment in public infrastructure development in the Yangtze River Economic Zone remains an effective measure to promote regional economic growth. Singh (2021) assesses the disparities between districts in social infrastructure (SI) and physical infrastructure (PI) and accordingly attempts to examine the impact of SI and PI. on economic growth in Punjab, India in two moments 2004-2005 and 2016-2017. For this purpose, the author calculates a social infrastructure index (SII) and a physical infrastructure index (PII) both at the district level that encapsulate 12 and 10 indicators, respectively, using principal component analysis.…”

In the literature on growth, infrastructure, in addition to other factors, is identified as a determining element in the growth of regions from a long-term perspective. However, there are few studies where the unit of analysis is disaggregated down to the regional level. Therefore, this research aims to explore the importance of infrastructure (social and economic) in the economic growth of Ecuador´s provinces. The methodology used leads to the calculation of a Global Productive Infrastructure Index (GPII) composed of two categories: Social Productive Infrastructure (SIP), and Economic Productive Infrastructure (EPI) (Hansen, 1965). In addition, econometric estimates are made of the relationship between infrastructure and economic growth, the latter measured by the Gross Added Value of each province. The results of the empirical models used indicate that the economic productive infrastructure is essential for the economic growth of Ecuador´s provinces. It is made up of energy infrastructure, transport infrastructure and communications infrastructure, of which the last two are the most representative and affect growth directly. In terms of the disaggregation of indices, it is observed that, in general, the provinces with the highest economic and global index and, therefore, the highest growth are the provinces of Pichincha, Azuay and Guayas.

“…Unsurprisingly, investment in new roads outside of city centres has improved the accessibility of property with cheap rates and boundary ROW, putting significant strain on the new roadways. (Transport investment and economic development, 1967) (Singh, 2021) Highways and airports have been proven to have a crucial role to promote development in an area and population expansion, according to research. The findings demonstrate that the impacts differ between the three types of areas.…”

The evolution of road development started with the idea of connecting metropolitan cities with the surrounding region. “All roads lead to Rome” which also shows us that, urban development attracts transport infrastructure. But eventually, settlements started to evolve in close proximity to the roads, which shows that development is followed by a transportation network. This has led to a common debate on what should come first, Opportunities/Settlement or Transport Infrastructure. In view of the existing literature, the interdependency of Regional Development and Transport Infrastructure can be classified under three categories which are 1. Transport system (Infrastructure) follows regional development, 2. Infrastructure development as an inductor of regional development and 3. Equality in development emphasizes balanced economic growth and infrastructure in a region. (Botrić, Šišinački and Škuflić, 2006). This study is an attempt to understand the development of the Visakhapatnam district in a regional context and its relation to the regional transportation network. The relationship between the accessibility of regional transport at the nodal level and the development of major settlements has been studied for the same. After analyzing various indicators of development and transportation infrastructure, an impact assessment of two indicators has been done. One of the indicators to study development is the growth rate in terms of the population of the Visakhapatnam region and the indicator to study transport accessibility is Shimbel’s index of major nodes in the regional network. The Geographic Information System has been used as a tool to develop the Road network and to generate the initial connectivity matrix for calculating the Shimbel Index. After obtaining the data related to the indicators of regional development and transportation accessibility, regression analysis has been performed which shows the relationship between the development of major settlements and accessibility.
