The Impact of High-Speed Rail on High-Quality Economic Development: Evidence from China by Xixi Feng, Jixiao Li, Yadan Liu, Weidong Li

“…A continuous difference-in-differences approach is employed for regression analysis to empirically examine the impact of high-speed rail on high-quality economic development, further exploring its mechanisms and spatial spillover effects. The findings reveal that (1) HSR significantly promotes high-quality economic development; (2) with the development of HSR, from 2005 to 2021, China’s high-quality economic development showed an evolutionary trend of overall improvement, with a gradual optimization of spatial patterns; (3) it facilitates high-quality economic development by enhancing capital and labor mobility, strengthening industrial chain resilience, and advancing industrial structure upgrading; (4) high-speed rail development in neighboring regions generates positive spatial spillover effects on local urban economic quality; and (5) the impact of high-speed rail on high-quality economic development exhibits significant heterogeneity across cities with different regions, tiers, scales, and resource endowments. …”

Enhancing Restoration in Urban Waterfront Spaces: Environmental Features, Visual Behavior, and Design Implications by Shiqin Zhou, Chang Lin, Quanle Huang

“…Key findings revealed the following: (1) The element visibility rate and visual characteristics of plant and building elements significantly influence restorative benefits. (2) Spatial configuration attributes (degree of enclosure, spatial hierarchy, and depth perception) regulate restorative benefits. (3) Visual behavior patterns (attributes of fixation points, fixation duration, and moderate dispersion of fixations) are significantly associated with restoration benefits. …”

Spatiotemporal coupling mechanisms and driving forces of ecosystem services and human activity from a multidimensional perspective by Daohong Gong, Dejin Dong, Huaqiang Du, Yufeng Zhou, Sang Fu, Yuichiro Fujioka

“…The results reveal (1) The HAI and CES in this study area exhibit significant spatial heterogeneity. (2) From 2001 to 2020, HAI and CES exhibited a robust positive spatial correlation with notable clustering patterns. (3) Spatially, HAI and CES demonstrated an escalating negative correlation, with Moran's I progressively declining from – 0.182 in 2001 to – 0.306 in 2020, indicating increasing spatial divergence. (4) The detrimental impact of HAI on CES intensified over time, with path coefficients decreasing from – 0.216 to – 0.374, while natural factors maintained a stable positive influence (0.299-0.378). …”
