    Planning for Railway Station Network Sustainability Based on Node–Place Analysis of Local Stations

    sustainability Article Planning for Railway Station Network Sustainability Based on Node–Place Analysis of Local Stations Joon-Seok Kim and Nina Shin * College of Business Administration, Sejong University, Seoul 05006, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: We principally focus on evaluating the local and entire network performance of railway stations for sustainable logistics management in South Korea. Specifically, we aim to address the issue of dealing with vulnerability in logistics dependent on the degree of connectivity. To resolve this issue, we investigate (i) the current level of local railway station sustainability performance from the perspectives of the value of the station (node) and the geographical location (place), and (ii) how railway station network management can prepare for imminent internal and external risks. Integrating node–place analysis and social network analysis approaches, we demonstrate a means of assessing (i) local railway station performance by comparing how one station’s value differs from that of other stations, and (ii) overall railway network performance by measuring the degree of connectivity based on the centrality characteristics. Consequently, we recommend improvement in planning orders considering the degree of local performance and network vulnerability for railway station network sustainability.

As a result, we are leading urban renewal projects, such as housing redevelopment and reconstruction projects, supported by the brand power of “We’ve”, which is one of the most prominent housing brands in Korea. We also have been building a good reputation in development projects, creating ultra- large buildings both in the center of major cities including the Seoul metropolitan area. In particular, we successfully completed the construction of the “Haeundae Doosan We’ve the Zenith”, an 80-floor mixed-use building 300-meter high, and the “Gimhae Centum Doosan We’ve the Zenith”, an ultra-large residential complex for 3,435 households, demonstrating, once again, Doosan E&C’s technological prowess.

    Empirical Analysis for Impact of High-Speed Rail Construction on Interregional Dependency

    applied sciences Article Empirical Analysis for Impact of High-Speed Rail Construction on Interregional Dependency Meina Zheng 1, Feng Liu 2 , Xiucheng Guo 1,* and Juchen Li 1 1 Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Urban ITS, School of Transportation, Southeast University, Nanjing 210096, China; [email protected] (M.Z.); [email protected] (J.L.) 2 School of Economics and Management, Southeast University, Nanjing 210096, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 1 July 2020; Accepted: 27 July 2020; Published: 30 July 2020 Abstract: The opening of the high-speed rail (HSR) resulted in significant changes in the transportation network of Korea. The new HSR construction was expected to become a new engine of local economic growth. However, there was a controversy regarding whether the connection between regions intensifies the concentration of socio-economic activities in the metropolis (straw effect) or contributes to the balance of regional development (sprawl effect). More increasing attention had been devoted to studying the “straw effects” caused by the newly built HSR networks on interregional social-economic activities. Despite considerable research on the benefit achieved from HSR construction, little has focused on the negative externalities resulting from it. This paper examined the potential “straw effects” of two new HSR lines through constructing the indicator of interregional dependency that measured one city’s level of dependency on another one. In order to exclude the interference of lurking variables, five metropolitan cities were selected as case studies. The empirical results, based on a panel data model, revealed that the larger the economic scale of the target city, the lower the level of dependency on other cities, and there existed a “straw effect” on HSR development in terms of Seoul.

Project Background and Objective 1.1.1. Project background Between 2004 and 2011, the Korean Ministry of Strategy and Finance (MOSF) had provided customized policy consulting services for nearly 300 projects in 34 countries as part of the Knowledge Sharing Program (KSP). In 2011, the MOSF newly launched KSP joint consulting with Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs)1, developing the former bilateral partnership (between Korea and a partner country) to a trilateral partnership (among Korea, international organizations and a partner country). In this process, the MOSF concluded a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with five MDBs and established a foundation for joint consulting. In accordance with the MOU, the MOSF implemented KSP joint consulting through discussion with the MDBs including WB, ADB and IDB. KSP is a development partnership project that facilitates economic and social growth of developing countries by sharing Korea's experiences; offering policy research, consulting service and training programs customized to the recipient countries' demand and conditions; and supporting their institution-building and capacity-building efforts. The trilateral KSP, developed from the bilateral KSP, can benefit from regional expertise of the MDBs as well as Korea's experiences of economic development and provide customized consulting service to countries in need. Therefore, it will create synergy effects and deepen a cooperative partnership with the MDBs and with developing countries. 1.1.2. Project objective As part of KSP-MDB joint consulting project, the MOSF and World Bank Institute (WBI) 2 agreed to conduct case studies of successful Public Private Partnership (PPP) in Korea.
