Abstract

High-speed rail (HSR) improves urban accessibility, changes the inter-city flow pattern of human and capital factors, and has a potential impact on urban economic vitality. A real GDP data is used to characterize urban economic vitality, and the Herfindahl–Hirschman Index(HHI) is used to characterize the urban economic vitality structure. Geodetector is used to study the influence of HSR on the level and structure of urban economic vitality. The main conclusions are as follows: The HSR frequency improves accessibility, promotes consumption, employment, investment in real estate development, tertiary industry development and the supply of urban construction land, and thus has a stronger positive impact on urban economic vitality. The magnet effect of HSR stations makes the station area attract resources to gather and develop, and the interaction with consumption, investment in real estate development and the supply of urban construction land has a stronger impact on urban economic vitality. More HSR lines extend the reach of cities, promote the development of consumption-related industries and real estate development, thus increasing economic vitality. The higher the HSR frequency, the more the HSR lines and HSR stations, the more dispersed the urban economic vitality structure. The layout of HSR stations in areas close to the city center will enhance the attractiveness of the city, which will increase the employment density, thus strengthening the economic vitality of the central urban area, and the urban economic vitality structure will be more concentrated. The results confirm that only when the variables related to HSR work together with the socio-economic variables, can the intensity of the influence of HSR on the level and structure of urban economic vitality be enhanced. In addition, HSR stations are the most important factors controlling the urban economic vitality structure, which has certain indicative significance for the future urban spatial planning.

高铁对城市经济活力水平和结构的影响：基于实际 GDP 数据的实证研究

高速铁路（高铁）改善了城市的可达性，改变了城市间人力和资本要素的流动模式，对城市经济活力产生了潜在影响。研究采用实际 GDP 数据表征城市经济活力，采用赫芬达尔-赫希曼指数（HHI）表征城市经济活力结构。利用 Geodetector 研究了高铁对城市经济活力水平和结构的影响。主要结论如下高铁班次提高了通达性，促进了消费、就业、房地产开发投资、第三产业发展和城市建设用地的供给，从而对城市经济活力产生了较强的积极影响。高铁站的磁铁效应使站区吸引资源集聚发展，与消费、房地产开发投资、城市建设用地供应等相互作用，对城市经济活力产生更强的影响。更多的高铁线路延伸了城市的触角，促进了与消费相关的产业发展和房地产开发，从而增强了经济活力。高铁班次越多，高铁线路和高铁站点越多，城市经济活力结构越分散。在靠近城市中心的区域布局高铁站，会增强城市的吸引力，从而提高就业密度，进而增强中心城区的经济活力，城市经济活力结构会更加集中。结果证实，只有当高铁相关变量与社会经济变量共同作用时，才能增强高铁对城市经济活力水平和结构的影响强度。此外，高铁站是控制城市经济活力结构的最重要因素，这对未来的城市空间规划具有一定的指导意义。

期刊介绍： Description The journal has an applied focus: it actively promotes the importance of geographical research in real world settings It is policy-relevant: it seeks both a readership and contributions from practitioners as well as academics The substantive foundation is spatial analysis: the use of quantitative techniques to identify patterns and processes within geographic environments The combination of these points, which are fully reflected in the naming of the journal, establishes a unique position in the marketplace. RationaleA geographical perspective has always been crucial to the understanding of the social and physical organisation of the world around us. The techniques of spatial analysis provide a powerful means for the assembly and interpretation of evidence, and thus to address critical questions about issues such as crime and deprivation, immigration and demographic restructuring, retailing activity and employment change, resource management and environmental improvement. Many of these issues are equally important to academic research as they are to policy makers and Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy aims to close the gap between these two perspectives by providing a forum for discussion of applied research in a range of different contexts Topical and interdisciplinaryIncreasingly government organisations, administrative agencies and private businesses are requiring research to support their ‘evidence-based’ strategies or policies. Geographical location is critical in much of this work which extends across a wide range of disciplines including demography, actuarial sciences, statistics, public sector planning, business planning, economics, epidemiology, sociology, social policy, health research, environmental management. FocusApplied Spatial Analysis and Policy will draw on applied research from diverse problem domains, such as transport, policing, education, health, environment and leisure, in different international contexts. The journal will therefore provide insights into the variations in phenomena that exist across space, it will provide evidence for comparative policy analysis between domains and between locations, and stimulate ideas about the translation of spatial analysis methods and techniques across varied policy contexts. It is essential to know how to measure, monitor and understand spatial distributions, many of which have implications for those with responsibility to plan and enhance the society and the environment in which we all exist. Readership and Editorial BoardAs a journal focused on applications of methods of spatial analysis, Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy will be of interest to scholars and students in a wide range of academic fields, to practitioners in government and administrative agencies and to consultants in private sector organisations. The Editorial Board reflects the international and multidisciplinary nature of the journal.
