This paper builds an assessment framework for green development efficiency (GDE) that takes social welfare, environmental regulation, economic growth into account, and uses the Super-SBM model to calculate the GDE based on panel data from 113 Chinese port cities from 2003 to 2020. Furthermore, the influence of PI on the GDE of port cities and its transmission mechanism is assessed using the PSM-DID model. The results show that the GDE of port cities has a fluctuating upward trend, but the overall level is low, and the social development index (SDI) can effectively improve the efficiency level. PI can significantly improve the urban GDE, and various robust results show that the above conclusions are credible. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that PI contributes more to the GDE of inland port cities than it does to coastal port cities. The GDE of the small-medium sized cities can be greatly enhanced by PI, and the results are better when the \"Government driven + market decided\" pattern is used. PI encourages technology innovation, which can enhance the urban GDE. Finally, some policy recommendations are made to encourage the excellent development of Chinese port cities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48378,"journal":{"name":"Transport Policy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142571477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, how loyalty is developed throughout the passenger experience - both at stations and onboard - remains unclear. Addressing this gap, the current study develops a model based on the 'service quality-satisfaction-behavioural intentions' paradigm and the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) model to examine how the physical and social environments, both at rail stations and onboard trains, impact passenger loyalty in the context of urban train services. Additionally, this study validates the multi-dimensionality of physical environments and social environments in this context. Data collected from urban rail passengers in Hanoi, Vietnam is analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that the physical and social environments onboard trains significantly influence loyalty towards the urban train services, while the environments at stations do not have the same impact. Furthermore, both satisfaction at stations and onboard trains significantly affect the loyalty, though the influence of satisfaction with the onboard experience is much stronger than that of satisfaction with the stations.

To address these limitations, this study employed the distance-band approach to accurately define the treatment area of subway stations while incorporating both local and network effects. Based on longitudinal mobile signaling data, we used the difference-in-differences approach to estimate the average treatment effects of 32 new subway stations on different types of home-based travels in Beijing, China. We found that the opening of new subway stations has led to significant increases in subway usage, trip duration, and trip distance within a 2000-m radius, and that commuting trips have been more affected than home-based non-commuting trips, except during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, the new subway stations also enhanced the connectivity of the city-wide network, influencing the travel behavior of residents in the vicinity of existing subway stations. We further found that subway expansion is particularly beneficial for women, younger residents, and residents of low-rent neighborhoods. According to these findings, planning new subway stations in Beijing and other densely populated megacities requires an integrated approach that considers the relationships between the existing transport network and diverse travel demand.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48378,"journal":{"name":"Transport Policy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142561140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
