Spatial Fairness and Changes in Transport Infrastructure in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Area from 1976 to 2016

Abstract: 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, exami… Show more

“…Drivers: The QTP has undergone rapid societal, socioeconomic, and infrastructural development changes starting in 2000 with China's campaign to "Open Up the West" [3]. This has included the construction of extensive road networks [74], with greatly decreased travel times from population centers [75]. Local people are familiar with all types of roadways and their conditions within reach of their homes, vital information for accessing field sites.…”

“…Thus, local spatial autocorrelation analysis must be conducted. The local indicator of spatial association (LISA) of each observation value is an index reflecting the spatial aggregation of each value with its spatially adjacent observation value [37]. For the ith space unit, the Local Moran's I index is calculated as follows:…”

“…The Tibetan Plateau is the most unique transportation zone in China and perhaps the world [ 36 ]. The development of transportation on the Tibetan Plateau has followed a typical stage-based pattern [ 30 ], beginning with “walking and animal power” (before 1954), ordinary roads (1955–1984), railways (after 1984), expressways (after 2001) and HSR (after 2014). Especially after 2000, when China implemented its strategy for the development of its western region (the “Western Development Strategy”) [ 36 , 37 ], railways were built, and the expressway network expanded throughout the plateau region, greatly improving the region’s transportation network.…”

“…To avoid the “island” effect while processing data, creating models and conducting analyses, all road networks in the six provinces that make up the Tibetan Plateau are included. In accordance with the highway design speed specified in the People’s Republic of China Highway Engineering Technical Standards (JTGB 01–2003), with reference to existing research [ 30 ], and based on real-life transportation conditions on the Tibetan Plateau and expert interviews, different types of roads in different years are assigned different speed values, and the ArcGIS network analysis tool is used to calculate the shortest reachable time from towns to cities. Neither air nor water transportation are considered in this article.…”
