School-runs are a staple trip for households and this consistency presents unique opportunities for policymakers to facilitate shifts toward more sustainable travel behaviours as these trips are highly sensitive to the implicit costs of travel – costs directly linked to land-use and transport policies. This research employs Generalised Structural Equation Modelling to analyse the determinants of travel mode choices of secondary school students (Middle and High School students) across the Republic of Ireland. Specifically, we focus on the relationships between individual socio-demographics, the built and social characteristics of residential locations, trip-specific considerations, and travel mode choices. We find that landscapes which reduce local time-space geographies (i.e., by reducing required travel distances) are associated with increased odds of students using active and public transport instead of cars. We also show that mode-specific infrastructure (i.e., roads) provision is associated with increased mode-specific (i.e., cars) use.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":"17 1","pages":"Article 100153"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143173535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These studies were conducted through semi-structured direct interviews, and were aimed at analysing the characteristics, the determinants and the effects of these investments on the local economy. The goal of the work is to investigate whether and how a remote and marginal region like the Aosta Valley can attract exogenous investments, by trying to identify its strengths and its weaknesses in these regards, and what effects they have on regional development. Interestingly, the analysis highlights that exogenous direct investments can be an important factor of development for these areas, especially as they enhance diversification, innovation, and access to new markets. Mountain areas like the Aosta Valley in some respects are attractive for external investors; however, they should improve location factors such as accessibility and human capital, in order to increase inflows of direct investments in the future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":"17 1","pages":"Article 100158"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143173492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article explores current SEZ strategies focused on economic sustainability and territorial resilience, using the Community Impact Evaluation (CIE) methodology. Our model, organized around macro-sector clusters, integrates economic and territorial indicators—a comprehensive approach often missing in SEZ analysis. This integrated approach is often missing from existing SEZ analyses. One of the central challenges in current policies is the lack of a comprehensive international perspective. Our study aims to bridge this gap by offering a cohesive framework that considers both economic and territorial factors. Additionally, we examine the role of stakeholders and strategic objectives in shaping SEZs, highlighting the importance of community involvement in decision-making and land use. Through this approach, we contribute to a more holistic and globally relevant model for SEZs across countries, especially in disadvantaged regions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":"17 3","pages":"Article 100169"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143148034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, with the advent of big data and the data deluge caused by big data, regional science and regional planning stand to benefit. We argue that with the proliferation of big data, Africa can now tap into its opportunities and correct its ‘ugly’ past regarding regional planning. With big data and artificial intelligence (AI)-tools, coupled with skilled and capable people, Africa can effectively mine data and catch up with global trends in urban and regional planning. The study concludes that there is a need to embrace big data and mine data for African regional science and regional planning to be successful.
