Chapter 2 Existing Conditions Summary
Final Report New Haven Hartford Springfield Commuter Rail Implementation Study 2 Existing Conditions Chapter 2 Existing Conditions Summary This chapter is a summary of the existing conditions report, necessary for comprehension of the remaining chapters. The entire report can be found in Appendix B of this report. 2.1 Existing Passenger Services on the Line The only existing passenger rail service on the Springfield Line is a regional service operated by Amtrak. Schedules for alternatives in Chapter 3 and the Recommended Action in Chapter 4 include current Amtrak service. Most Amtrak service on the line is shuttle trains, running between Springfield and New Haven, where they connect with other Amtrak Northeast Corridor trains. One round-trip train each day operates through the corridor to Boston to the north and Washington to the south. One round trip train each day operates to and from St. Albans, Vermont from New Haven. The trains also permit connections at New Haven with Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor (Washington to Boston) service, as well as Metro North service to New York, and Shore Line East local commuter service to New London. Departures are spread throughout the day, with trains typically operating at intervals of two to three hours. Springfield line services are designed as extensions of Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor service, and are not scheduled to serve local commuter trips (home to work trips). The Amtrak fare structure was substantially reduced in price since this study began. The original fare structure from November 2002 was shown in the existing conditions report, which can be found in Appendix B. -

Spatial Variations in Fertility of South Korea: a Geographically Weighted Regression Approach
International Journal of Geo-Information Article Spatial Variations in Fertility of South Korea: A Geographically Weighted Regression Approach Myunggu Jung 1 , Woorim Ko 2, Yeohee Choi 3 and Youngtae Cho 2,* 1 Department of Population Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London WC1E 7HT, UK; [email protected] 2 Department of Public Health Science, Graduate School of Public Health, Seoul National University, Seoul 08826, Korea; [email protected] 3 Department of Social Welfare, Graduate School of Social Welfare, Ewha Womans University, Seoul 03760, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-880-2820 Received: 5 May 2019; Accepted: 4 June 2019; Published: 5 June 2019 Abstract: South Korea has witnessed a remarkable decline in birth rates in the last few decades. Although there has been a large volume of literature exploring the determinants of low fertility in South Korea, studies on spatial variations in fertility are scarce. This study compares the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) models to investigate the potential role of the spatially heterogeneous response of the total fertility rate (TFR) to sociodemographic factors. The study finds that the relationships between sociodemographic factors and TFRs in South Korea vary across 252 sub-administrative areas in terms of both magnitude and direction. This study therefore demonstrates the value of using spatial analysis for providing evidence-based local-population policy options in pursuit of a fertility rebound in South Korea. Keywords: low fertility; spatial analysis; GIS; regional fertility differentials; total fertility rate 1. Introduction In the last few decades, South Korea has witnessed a remarkable decline in birth rates. -

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.
