This study investigates the pre- and post-treatment effects of different types of bicycle facilities on the values of single-family and multifamily homes in 11 cities in the United States from 2000 to 2019. We utilize a quasi-experimental approach with matching techniques and hedonic models to track down the changes in the sales price of residential properties over time within an 800-m buffer of bicycle facilities. We found a mixed impact of property value appreciation, depreciation, and no change in the sales price by different types of bicycle infrastructure including on-street and off-street facilities on single-family and multifamily residential properties across the 11 cities. Single-family and multifamily properties near off-street-only facilities experienced appreciation in Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and Cleveland. Meanwhile, single-family homes near on-street-only facilities tended to decrease their values in Columbus, Eugene, Philadelphia, and Tucson, and increase only in Minneapolis. All properties within 800 m of both on-street and off-street facilities saw their values increase in Columbus and Minneapolis. However, we did not find a statistically significant effect of bicycle infrastructure on housing values in Portland, San Francisco, and Seattle. Findings from our study will inform decision-making and planning for bicycle infrastructure while ensuring the equitable distribution of these facilities and affordable housing for disadvantaged populations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"123 ","pages":"Article 104146"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143396230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By applying the concepts of ‘borrowed size’ and ‘agglomeration shadow,’ we analyze the effects of HSR on industrial upgrading in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region using panel data from 199 county-level units between 2000 and 2017.

Additionally, this study indicates a positive correlation between urban size and manufacturing sector exit, while administrative power enhances the service sector's concentration in HSR-connected regions.

Specifically, we introduced motif structures to characterize local structural features and proposed a sub-network perspective to evaluate the structural resilience of ports. We then explore the structural resilience of both network-wide and port-level under three intentional attack scenarios. The results indicate that closed motifs are the most vulnerable, disappearing rapidly under intentional attacks. The GCOMTN structure is particularly sensitive to failures at strategically located ports. Conversely, individual ports demonstrate greater resilience in such scenario, even though their local structures tend to be inherently unstable.

To minimise the transmission risk, civil aviation authorities imposed travel restrictions and led to changes of the global and regional air traffic network (ATN). Considering the potential for future similar propagable events that may challenge the operation of the ATN again, it is crucial to develop more efficient air route adjustment schemes (ARAS) to better respond to propagable outbreaks. This study first examines the development patterns of propagable events and constructs a spatial temporal evolution model under the coupling of event development and traffic flow. Based on the dynamic process of the spatial temporal evolution model, the study explores the resilience assessment method of the ATN throughout the entire cycle of events. This study proposes a methodological framework to intervene in the air route reduction and recovery of any two connected airport pairs based on the prioritised network centrality (PNC) during all rising and descending phases of propagatable outbreaks to achieve overall ATN network resilience enhancement, and the model is validated by the case under COVID-19 background. The numerical study shows that the adjustment of air route capacity has a significant impact on the control of the introduction of cases in the initial phase. However, there is no significant impact on controlling the risk of propagation if the destined regions face widespread local propagation. This explains that travel restriction and quarantine of the ATN do not contribute to controlling the local propagation of regions but can ameliorate the severity of the overall outbreak at the network level by affecting the spreading sequence across the network. To improve the network resilience in response to propagable outbreaks, The air route adjustment scheme considering prioritised network centrality (ARAS-PNC) approach can capitalise on the impact of network performance and outbreak progression and respond better at the network level with greater network efficiency and lower network-wide effective case rate.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"123 ","pages":"Article 104116"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142990291","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}

The study is based on multisource big data from 2021 to 2022, including Automatic Identification System (AIS) data, Gdelt news data, and remote sensing satellite data. It utilizes complex network metrics and the temporal exponential random graph model (TERGM) method to analyze the evolution patterns and mechanisms of the global LNG trade network. The research findings indicate the following: (1) The Russia–Ukraine conflict has led to a significant increase in LNG imports by European countries. Many countries have opened temporary direct shipping routes, which has accelerated the decline in the average path length of the network and improved network efficiency. (2) The global LNG trade community trend has been strengthened by the Russia–Ukraine conflict. The number of members within the trading community in which the United States is located has increased, with some European countries moving into this community. (3) The reciprocal structural characteristics of the LNG trade network drive its development, and the expansion of the national port handling capacity ability also drives network growth.

To bridge this gap, this study analyzed shared micromobility trip data from Ningbo, China, aiming to quantify the relationship between shared micromobility and public transit, and differentiate between the interactions of shared bikes and <em>E</em>-bikes with public transit. We employed a geospatial-based approach to categorize each shared micromobility trip into three types: Modal Substitution (MS), Modal Integration (MI), and Modal Complementation (MC), based on their interactions with buses and subways. Then we explored the spatial and temporal patterns of the shares of MS, MI, and MC trips, and investigated factors influencing these varied relationships using Spatial Autoregressive (SAR) models. Our findings indicate that shared <em>E</em>-bikes more frequently substitute for public transit, whereas shared bikes are predominantly used in MC roles. There are notable temporal and spatial variations in the usage of shared <em>E</em>-bikes and bikes: temporally, there is a morning peak of shared E-bikes that substitute public transit, and spatially, E-bike sharing has a higher concentration of substitution in suburbs while bike sharing has a higher concentration of complementation in the outer areas. The observed differences between E-bikes and bikes regarding their relationship with public transit are largely influenced by trip distance, speed, and public transit characteristics.

The findings indicate that HSR connectivity significantly enhances county entrepreneurship, a result that remains robust after rigorous testing methods such as Bacon decomposition, instrumental variable analysis, and two-stage DID estimation. Mechanism tests reveal that HSR connectivity promotes entrepreneurship by promoting technological spillover, accelerating economic agglomeration and boosting technological spillovers in counties. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the promotional effect of HSR connectivity on entrepreneurship is primarily observed in small-scale enterprises, as well as in labor-intensive and capital-intensive industries. Additionally, there is distinct core-periphery heterogeneity, with HSR connectivity mainly strengthening entrepreneurial vitality in core counties and non-interprovincial border counties, while having a limited impact on periphery and interprovincial border counties. Further analysis reveals that the positive impact of HSR connectivity on county-level entrepreneurship is highly localized, exhibiting a distinct “pass-through effect”.
