“…It is worth to note that the literature found evidence of these negative effects of corridor interventions. Roberts et al (2019, p. 2), in a meta‐analysis of this literature, found that “on average, while corridor interventions tend to benefit economic welfare and equity, they often detrimentally impact the environment. In order to mitigate trade‐offs, policymakers can consider using complementary interventions.” Freitas (2016) also suggested complementary interventions for the BRT in Belo Horizonte.…”

“…The property typology that we analyse—residential, commercial, vacant urban land, rural, mixed‐use—may also cause significant variations. Although there is evidence of it in the recent empirical literature (Debrezion, Pels, & Rietveld, 2007; Leishman & Watkins, 2017; Roberts, Melecky, Bougna, & Xu, 2019), studies usually have the opportunity to test just one intervention in one city.…”

Large‐scale urban projects (LSUPs) are capable of changing cities' structures and, consequently, have a potential deep impact on land values. However, to assume that the LSUP always uplift land values may dismiss too quickly some key aspects of these investments. This work uses a difference‐in‐differences model to assess the impacts of LSUPs on land values, implemented in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Results indicate that the impacts of LSUPs vary according to the kind of project (transit, iconic building and retail) and property (residential, commercial and vacant land). Macroeconomic cycles, negative externalities, and projects location within the local urban structure are key to understand the impacts' dynamics.

“…In the general case, the models and systems of zones reflect the specific historical patterns of "inherited development" ("Path Dependence") for the macroregion [7,8]. Further, against their background, new trends are considered: urbanization [9] (associated with agglomeration processes and the formation of agglomerations), transformation of communications (associated with migration, change in logistics and development of transport corridors [10,11]).…”

Visualization in models of transformation of social space of the Eurasian macroregion: the example of the Urals

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The relevance of the topic determines a lot of structural socio- economic changes associated with both globalization and crisis processes. Such changes affect various aspects of spatial development, including the transformation of social space. Prospects for research into the transformation of social space in such conditions are largely related to the development of complex problem-adapted systems of models and the use of computer technologies – visualization tools. These models consider the interconnected spatial objects most significant for transformation. Such objects include zones of transport corridors and agglomeration processes. The purpose of the research results presented in the article is to determine and approbate a number of provisions, the spatial development of the macroregion, as a complex heterogeneous multilevel socio-economic system. The key issues here are the construction of a multilevel framework of social space when adapting local models. In the study, the base was the territory of the macroregion of the “Big Urals”. The peculiarities of the methodology, first of all, are related to the issues: determination of the most significant elements of the structure and characteristics of the transformation of social space and building a system of information- adapted models. The following issues are considered here: problem- oriented zoning of territories, transformation of the settlement framework, integration of the most significant objects of social transformations. The main results of the research are related to the possibilities of significantly expanding the class of tasks for managing regional and municipal development, solving problems of strategic planning and forming programs for the development of territories.

“…While a few pioneering studies have provided reviews of the impact assessment of transport systems on related topics, such as multimodal transportation (Roberts, Melecky, Bougna, & Xu, 2020), land and housing impact (Bešinović, 2020;Wu, Zheng, Wang, & Du, 2020), and competition of HSR with aviation (Zhang, Wan, & Yang, 2019), there is still a lack of a comprehensive and systematic review of socioeconomic impact assessment of the HSR system.…”

The interest in the socioeconomic impact assessments of the highspeed rail (HSR) system is burgeoning as many countries are considering investing in such a system. While extensive studies have provided a wide range of evaluations of HSR on the socioeconomic impact, primarily from an ex-post perspective, it remains unclear how reliable the evaluation outcomes were, given the variety of data, method and research framework being adopted. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the socioeconomic impact studies of high-speed rail (HSR), based on 242 academic publications. In particular, we examined to what extent the impact outcome is influenced by various modelling factors, such as data, model, and research design, using meta-analysis based on 368 empirical estimates derived from 45 empirical studies. Our analysis confirms that the factors of research design (e.g. variables, data, and modelling method) do have various influences on the empirical estimates of HSR project appraisals. In the end, the paper discusses the implications for future infrastructure project appraisals.
