A Study of the Relationship between Lithuanian International Migration Flows and Transport Sector Performance Indicators

Abstract

Migration, emigration and immigration are processes directly related to transport and have a significant impact on the performance of this field. On the other hand, extensive movement of people inevitably relates to issues of sustainability, their assurance, etc. Migrants settle in large cities where public transport is well developed. Migrants usually commute by means other than driving their own cars (choosing public transport, walking, cycling or car sharing). Many researchers in the USA (United States of America) have linked this to migrants’ choice of a place of residence, which are well served by public transport, as they mainly travel for work. However, with passing time and improving living standards, the need for immigrants to not only use public transport, but to also own their own, becomes similar to that of the locals. This also increases the need for the analysis of sustainable transport issues. The correlation and regression analyses used in the article and the application of the ALM (automatic linear modelling) modelling led to the following results: a significant positive correlation was found between emigration and passenger carriage by all modes of transport|Maritime transport, and a significant negative correlation was found between emigration and passenger carriage by all modes of transport|Rail transport, suggesting that these indicators have a mutually significant relationship with one another. The conducted regression analysis and applied modelling showed that the regression model was insignificant and therefore cannot be used. However, the results suggest that the relationship between immigration and transport indicators can be used as a direction for further research.

Sustainable Societal Transformation: Shaping Renewable Energy Technologies in Transport

“…Transportation plays a pivotal role in the global economy, enabling mobility, trade, and connectivity [12]. Despite its, transport sector is also ranked as the second-largest carbon emitter due to its over-reliance on traditional fossil fuels [13,14].…”

Urban Public Transport as a Basis for Sustainable Mobility Development in the Transition from Private Vehicles to Urban Public Transport: A Case Study of Elbasan

“…The repercussions of rapid urban growth, as highlighted by Ševčenko-Kozlovska and Čižiūnienė [2], involves an increase in the number of private cars and an in the load on urban transport, which is operated at full capacity or almost at full capacity. Now, in this area, it is necessary to increase the number of public transport terminals to increase the number of operating vehicles and modernise logistics processes, which will raise the quality of transport services to a high level.…”
