“…Secondly, the effect of enterprise size on the role of HSR is also considered. The relationship between land demand, labor demand, and HSR is highly similar according to Equation (6). Figure 4 takes the change of land demand as an example to reveal the relationship between HSR and the two demands.…”

To give full play to the role of high-speed rail (HSR) in promoting sustainable economic development, the models that can calculate and describe the impacts of HSR on the sustainable economy are required. However, little attention has been paid so far to building such models. To address this, the paper puts forward the definition of sustainable economic development, especially that of China. Based on the definition, the paper proposes the indicators of sustainable economic development for China from industry and labor force perspectives. Compared with the previous literature, these indicators take into account the behavior of enterprises and labor forces as individuals rather than as groups, which is more explanatory. HSR, as the main factor to improve the level of transportation technology and accessibility, is incorporated into the analytical framework. Then, we build decision-making behavior models of single enterprise and labor force under market equilibrium to get the relationship between HSR and indicators. Compared with the previous literature, the methods within the paper not only fully consider the interests of enterprises and labor forces, but also considers the interaction between industries and the trade of commodities in different cities/regions. The evidence from the central part of China shows that the model can effectively reveal the relationship between HSR and indicators. The paper gives new perspectives to study the relationship between HSR and sustainable economic development. Based on the findings herein, we offer recommendations for how HSR can promote sustainable economic development effectively.

“…In a study by Cao et al (2013), weighted average travel times and travel costs, contour measures, and potential accessibility were employed as indicators to analyse the accessibility impacts of China's HSR network on 49 cities (most are provincial capital cities), with the emphasis on mid-to-long distance passenger transport. In a case study in the Appalachian region, Chandra and Vadali (2014) conducted a systemized analysis on the accessibility impact of the proposed America 2050 HSR plan; the author used travel time to a county from all other counties to evaluate the accessibility change by comparing the 2002 base period (the "no-build" year) and the future year of 2035 (the "build" year). Based on train timetables, Shaw et al (2014) used travel time, travel costs, and travel distance to assess HSR impacts on the accessibility of various cities across China.…”

“…Therefore, it has been used in different aspect of travel demand forecasting, location choice and appraisal of land-use changes [33]. Beside as Chandra and Vadali also studied an accessibility analysis of USA Appalachia region; accessibility effects not only from the point of distance also economic activities in the region [34].…”

High-speed train services have been implemented in many different countries of the world since it was first introduced in Japan in 1964. High Speed Railways (HSRs) are it extremely attractive for countries due to rapid travel with high speeds among long-distance settlements. HSR investments have increased in recent years in Turkey after the determination of HSR developments as a national policy by the Turkish Government. 888 km HSR lines were constructed between Ankara-Eskişehir, Ankara-Konya and Ankara-Istanbul from 2002 to 2014.The aim of this study is to find out how HSR lines effect the distribution of population, labour capacity, time efficiency as well as urban sprawl in the Ankara-Konya region. To explore the impact of HSR lines, a new model is developed to satisfy the former goals, model computes the data not only from the statistical part also estimation of the future activity distributions. Basically, there are two main components in the developed model. First is to calculate the accessibility of HSR in the region. The second to figure out HSR's spatial impact in the city. A utility function has been composed and interviews have been conducted with HSR passengers. Besides, public transport system also examined in terms of accessibility in the second part of the model. In addition, the study reveals the socio-economic and spatial effects of HSR lines to Ankara-Konya region, which is the first implemented line as a new one in Turkey.
