“…We can learn from Pyrialakou et al [13], Condeço-Melhorado et al [56], Jin et al [57] and Xu et al [58] and characterize the distributive effects of transport infrastructure by the accessibility coefficient and relative accessibility. These indicators can accurately reflect the status of the entire transport network.…”

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau area (QTP) is the most unique environmental-population region and an important natural laboratory for the study of human-land relations. The poor transportation conditions have long restricted socio-economic development. The research on the transport infrastructure and spatial effect in the QTP is of significance to the sustainable development of the region. Accordingly, a spatial accessibility model was used to analyze the spatial pattern of accessibility in QTP from 1976–2016, examine the accessibility evolution trend on the township scale and reveal the spatial fairness and changes in accessibility. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) The accessibility to major cities improved and the time-space convergence effect was significant. (2) The spatial autocorrelation analysis results showed that the improvement in transport infrastructure had a significant impact on the agglomeration of the accessibility level. (3) Access time from towns to the nearest major city are much shorter. More Tibetan people have more opportunities to access cities. (4) The accessibility coefficient and relative accessibility revealed distributive effects and spatial fairness of accessibility. (5) The global coefficient of variation value demonstrated an increasing trend, which indicates that spatial unfairness of transport is increasing.

The public private partnership model in Colombia has been the main vehicle to promote the development of transportation infrastructure during the last 20 years. Currently, the national government is developing the Fourth Public Private Partnership Road Program (4G) with a total investment of COP$53B (US$26,530) in 2013 and an average total length of 7,601 km (4,723 mi). In the development of this paper it will be quantified how 4G projects will change accessibility, goods transportation costs, and territorial cohesion in a future scenario when the road network will be finished. This goal will be supported by the creation of a database design in the geographic information system taking into account economic and technical characteristics to evaluate the accessibility and a generalized transport cost function ([Formula: see text]) in each link covering the whole road network, as well as gross domestic product (GDP) in each project region. As a result, it is important to note that 4G projects will represent an important change and positive impact in variables of corridors in the national road network. Even if the results show that some regions will receive benefits, this research also shows that some regions will not present changes in accessibility, [Formula: see text], and territorial cohesion because the 4G corridors do not cover the whole country, but the advantages in some regions will encourage the country’s competitiveness, which could not be reality without the support of private participation. Finally, this research provides enough insight to outline a new program that could enhance accessibility, [Formula: see text], and GDP in the regions.

“…For example, the effect that accessibility improvements may have on activity distributions has been studied repeatedly [10][11][12][13][14][15]. Other studies have researched spill-over effects of transport infrastructure improvements [8,16]. The effect that spatial activity distributions may have on accessibility, as studied in this paper, has received less attention.…”

In the last decade or so several studies have looked into the impacts of transport infrastructure improvements on decreasing territorial disparities. In those studies population levels are usually assumed static, although future population levels likely change in response to changing accessibility levels as well as to other factors. To test how much accessibility impacts may be affected by changes in population levels, this study explores the effects of foreseeable population changes on the accessibility improvements offered by large scale transport infrastructure investments. Methods In this study we compare accessibility measures from four cases, namely the current situation; one case in which only transport investments are taken into account; and two cases that include transport investments and two scenarios with differing future population distributions that in turn are simulated by the LUISA land-use model. The modelled transport investments are assumed to improve travel times. The study concentrates on accessibility effects in Austria, Czech Republic, Germany and Poland. To provide a reference to the found results, the same computations are repeated with historical population and road network changes. Results The results indicate that differences in local population levels have a limited effect on average accessibility levels, but may have a large impact on territorial inequalities related to accessibility. Conclusions The findings in this study underpin the importance of incorporating future local population levels when assessing the impacts of infrastructure investments on territorial disparities.
