Transport infrastructure development is considered one of the basic structural preconditions of competitiveness, growth and economic development in Slovakia. Transport network upgrading in the country has recently been focused mainly on road and motorway networks. The goal of this paper is to contribute to existing approaches to transport infrastructure impact assessment. The paper presents selected results of qualitative research focused on an analysis of the R1 expressway (as a part of TEN-T network) and its impacts on the economic, social and environmental dimensions of life at the local territorial level. The paper also seeks to answer the basic question, whether and to what extent the new section of the expressway brings any stimuli to regional or local development. Qualitative research realized by field sociological methods has shown new data and information necessary for a complex assessment of transport infrastructure impacts on social and economic development of regions. We assume that these impacts should not be based purely on mathematic and statistical research methods.

Αντικειμενο της διατριβής είναι η διερευνηση της συμβολή στην ανάπτυξη από μεγάλες επενδύσεις στις μεταφορές, όπου κυρίαρχο ερευνητικό ερώτημα είναι η αξιολόγηση των επιπτώσεων από τη διοίκησης και διαχείριση μεγάλων έργων υποδομής με έμφαση στον τομέα των μεταφορών. Κύριος στόχος είναι η ανάλυση των οικονομικών επιπτώσεων από την ανάπτυξη και διαχείριση ενός έργου υποδομής μεταφορών, με έμφαση στην ποσοτική αποτίμησή της διάχυσης τους στους τομείς μιας οικονομίας και η δημιουργία μιας νέας μεθοδολογίας που συνοδεύεται από σχετικό υπολογιστικό πρότυπο για την αποτίμηση της συμβολή τους στη βάση εξέλιξης των επιπτώσεων επί των κοινωνικοοικονομικών μεγεθών. Μέσα από την εμπεριστατωμένη ανάλυση των βασικών παραμέτρων και κατευθύνσεων του προβλήματος και των μεταξύ τους αλληλεπιδράσεων επιτυγχάνεται ο σχεδιασμός ενός σύνθετου δείκτη αξιολόγησης για την υποστήριξη των υπεύθυνων λήψης απόφασης και διαχειριστών των έργων υποδομών μεταφορών. Η μοντελοποίηση του ερευνητικού ζητήματος στοχεύει στην αντιμετώπιση του ερευνητικού προβλήματος και στηρίζεται στη διαμόρφωση και την αξιολόγηση της στρατηγικής ανάλυσης αποφάσεων στο πλαίσιο της ανάπτυξης έργων υποδομής μεταφορών προς την κατεύθυνση της οικονομικής ανάπτυξης. Με τον τρόπο αυτό, η «συστημική» προσέγγιση, στην οποία βασίζεται η έννοια του προτεινόμενου υπολογιστικού μοντέλου, στοχεύει στη διαμόρφωση ενός πλαισίου για τη στήριξη των υπευθύνων λήψης αποφάσεων για τον εντοπισμό όλων των παραμέτρων που βελτιστοποιούν την απόδοση των έργων υποδομής μεταφορών και την ανάλυση των αλληλεπιδράσεων μεταξυ τους. Μετά την εισαγωγή των κατάλληλων δεικτών στο επίπεδο της ανάπτυξης του μεθοδολογικού υπόβαθρου, η διαδικασία ανάλυσης προχωρά με την αξιολόγηση των προτεραιοτήτων των κατευθύνσεων και κριτηρίων για τον προσδιορισμό εκείνων των δεικτών και προοπτικών που επιρεάζουν περισότερο την απόδοση του έργου υποδομής μεταφορών προς την οικονομική ανάπτυξη, μέσω ενός πολυκριτηριακού υπολογιστικό προτύπου, μια τροποποιημένη ασαφής AHP ιεραρχία και ένα τροποποιημένο σε ασαφές περιβάλλον "Fuzzy TOPSIS" μαθηματικό πρότυπο προσαρμοσμένο στο συγκεκριμένο ερευνητικό πρόβλημα.

Negative Factors

Due to various factors, the regions of Russia have significant differences in the level of socio-economic development. Thus, each region of Russia has certain specific qualities inherent only to it, which must be taken into account when implementing regional policy. By reducing the influence of negative factors and, conversely, activating positive ones, it is possible to significantly increase the competitiveness of regional economies and the country as a whole. One of the features of the economies of the underdeveloped regions of Siberia is a significant share in their structure of low-productivity and low-tech industries, a lack of investment capital, low innovative activity of business entities, poor development of the territory, insufficient transport infrastructure, a shortage of highly qualified personnel and a number of others. The strategic priority of the state's economic policy in recent years in relation to underdeveloped regions is to achieve an acceptable average Russian level. In this regard, it becomes relevant to search for natural competitive advantages that can provide, through the correct and justified selection of "growth points" based on the use of the internal potential of such territories of their more dynamic development in relation to the most successful regions.

The Impact

Background: There has been considerable decline in the investment on road transport infrastructure in recent times, as a result of the dwindling economic investment owing to lowering gross domestic product (GDP) since 2009.Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between road transport investment (ROTI) and economic development (ED) in South Africa. This article adopts the Harrod–Domar (HD) model of economic growth and development theory, endogenous growth theory and Solow–Swan neoclassical growth model.Method: Data were derived from the South African Reserve Bank, Quantec database and Statistics South Africa (StatsSA) between 1990 and 2014. It used time series, econometric models cointegration and vector error correction model (VECM) to analyse.Result: The results of the estimation demonstrate that the explanatory variables account for approximately 86.7% variation in ED in South Africa. Therefore, there exists a positive relationship between ROTI and ED.Conclusion: This study established a long-run relationship between phenomena and demonstrates the role of road transport investment on economic development in South Africa.

Determinants Of Economic Growth

Purpose This paper aims to show a long run and causal association between economic growth and transport infrastructure. Design/methodology/approach In this study, the authors use ARDL models through the period 1990 – 2020 to investigate the relationship between transport infrastructure and economic growth in India. Findings The infrastructure has a positive impact on economic growth in India for the long run. Moreover, Granger causality test demonstrates a unidirectional relationship between transport infrastructure to economic development. Stimulatingly, the paper highlights the effect of air infrastructure statistically insignificant on economic growth in the long and short-run period. Originality/value The original outcome from the study delivers an inclusive depiction of determinants of economic growth from transport infrastructure in India, and these findings will help the policymakers to frame policies to improve the transport infrastructure. Hence, it is proposed that the government of Indian should focus more to upsurge the transport infrastructure for higher economic development.

This chapter reviews regional accessibility and relationship between regional accessibility, the logistic infrastructure and regional economic development. The purpose of this chapter is to emphasize the complexity and causality of this relationship. Transport infrastructure is an important policy instrument to promote regional economic development. In addition, development of logistics is a very important part of the transport policy, while accessibility is an important determinant of the attractiveness of regions for logistics activities. Accessibility indicators measure the benefits households and firms in a region enjoy from the existence and use of the transport infrastructure. Economic development may determine transportation needs and lead to infrastructure improvements and accessibility. The theoretically is defined and empirical evidence that transport accessibility suggests that there is a link between the accessibility of the region and its competitiveness and, therefore, regional economic growth.
