“…Östh et al [29] report similar findings for the municipalities in Sweden, where the major economic centers, i.e., the most accessible locations in Sweden, were found to be the most resilient areas. Hurtado et al [58] examined the regional performance in six U.S. states during the last recession (2008-2009) and post-recession (2010-2014); the findings of the study revealed that transportation accessibility was positively associated with regional economic resilience during and after the 2008 Great Recession. Giannakis and Bruggeman [24] found a positive effect of accessibility on the economic resilience of the intermediate EU regions.…”

The increasing number of economic shocks and disruptions and their highly heterogeneous territorial impacts reopened the debate on the ability of regions to withstand and recover from exogenous shocks. This paper focuses on the recessionary impact of the 2008 global financial economic crisis. It empirically explores the relationship between pre-crisis spatial connectivity and economic resilience across European Union (EU) regions over the 2008–2015 period. The empirical analysis is performed on a sample of 1312 NUTS-3 regions in 25 countries. Standard, spatial and multilevel hierarchical regression models are applied to investigate the effect of spatial connectivity and other pre-crisis determinants on regional economic resilience across three geographical scales: national, NUTS-2 regional and NUTS-3 regional. The results show that accessibility is an important factor for EU NUTS-3 regions to build resilience capabilities to exogenous shocks. Our findings demonstrate that higher accessibility is associated with greater regional economic resilience. The model results indicate a positive effect of migration and a negative effect of the ageing population on regional reaction to the crisis. Our analysis highlights the importance of country effects and spatial spillover effects on the ability of regions to shape resilience capabilities.

“…Economic resilience can be defined as a region's ability to cope, recover, and adapt to economic shocks (Chacon-Hurtado, Kumar, et al, 2020). Economic resilience is the ability of a region to successfully recover from shocks that cause it to deviate from the growth path and potentially not reach the expected growth path (Hill et al, 2008).…”

“…Although research on economic resilience has been widely researched in various fields of study and relevant aspects, the issue of economic resilience during the covid-19 pandemic is still a significant concern for all people worldwide. Some of the problems that arise include the low level of regional resilience making fiscal and employment conditions more vulnerable to various shocks and disturbances due to recent external influences in order to measure economic resilience (Silva et al, 2021), the need to control various aspects of resilience such as industrial diversity and human resources in order to generate complex interactions between economic resilience and transportation infrastructure through policy development to strengthen regional capacity to be more resilient to economic shocks (Chacon-Hurtado, Kumar, et al, 2020), need for creativity of business actors in dealing with the pandemic phenomenon in order to market their products that can take advantage of various online media or strengthening and collaboration between communities of business actors who have various limitations experienced (Munir, 2021), tourism has implications for economic resilience for all stakeholders involved which have the impact of various necessary factors that lead to the need to approach the development of tourism destinations, tourism management and monitoring of tourism activities (Utami & Kafabih, 2020).…”

Economic resilience is the financial ability of a nation that relies on the utilization of existing resources in dealing with various problems whose sources are internal or external to create community welfare. Economic resilience is currently experiencing a severe test for all countries due to covid-19 pandemic, which has an impact on the economic crisis. A qualitative approach is applied by actualizing bibliometric analysis of the concept of economic resilience, which is the main focus. The research data is sourced from scientific journals on the concept of economic resilience, which was explored during the time span of the pandemic. The results of the study state that several theories found have a novel value that is rarely published and can help accelerate economic resilience, including disaster risk reduction, independent village, global value chain, ecology resilience, global recession, banking crisis, regional resilience, and village government. The main clusters derived from economic resilience include economic recovery, economic crisis, adaptation strategy, community empowerment, economic vulnerability, financial inclusion, circular economy, and good governance. Knowledge development needs to be carried out to disseminate current theories and issues so that researchers or academics can study and explore more so that the derived knowledge can help provide solutions and improve economic conditions.

“…The index could be expanded to cover investment decisions over the entire transportation network, both urban and rural. The contribution of an infrastructure project to network accessibility should be considered during prioritization because, as Chacon-Hurtado et al showed, transportation accessibility plays a vital role in regional economic resilience ( 38 ). Accessibility improvements are positively related to regional economic development ( 39 ).…”

Goal Programming Framework for Prioritization of Low-Volume Road Projects Considering Network Accessibility and Stakeholders’ Preferences

One of the benefits of implementing transportation infrastructure projects is the maximization of network accessibility performance, so that system users’ mobility is optimized. However, infrastructure investment decisions rarely consider stakeholders’ preferences to network performance measures and the impact of project selection and prioritization on the network accessibility performance. This paper presents a goal programming framework that considers network accessibility performance and the total cost of road infrastructure projects or project bundles to prioritize investments, taking into account stakeholders’ preferences to the performance criteria. Results of the case study using the low-volume road (LVR) network showed that the accessibility benefits of LVR projects depend on their relative spatial location in the network, their total project cost, target performance goals, and stakeholders’ preferences to performance criteria. The study results also showed that LVR projects could maximize network accessibility even after the occurrence of network disruption events. Therefore, the proposed framework could help the decision-makers develop efficient infrastructure investment plans to mitigate natural and human-made network disruption events.
