Abstract

BRUINSMA F. R., RIENSTRA S. A. and RIETVELD P.(1997) Economic impacts of the construction of a transport corridor: a multi-level and multi-approach case study for the construction of the A1 highway in the Netherlands, Reg. Studies 31, 391-402. In this paper the relation between the construction of highway infrastructure and regional economic development is analysed at two spatial levels: the level of regions and individual entrepreneurs. Three different approaches are used: a regional labour market model; a reference region approach; and a survey among entrepreneurs. Both the regional models gave no clear indication of an impact of highway construction on regional economic development. At the level of individual entrepreneurs the impact of the highway construction was clearly positive for the level of corporate investments, the number of employees, the perceived accessibility, travel time and the accuracy in delivery times. Perceptions deserve attention in studies of this type, because behaviour is not only governed by objective facts, but also by subjective perceptions. BRUINSMA F.R., RIENSTRA S.

Studies 31, 391-402. Cet article cherche a analyser le rapport entre la construction de l'equipement de transport et l'amenagement du territoire a deux niveaux geagraphiques; a savoir sur le plan regional et du point de vue des entrepreneurs. On se sert de trois facons differentes: un modele du marche du travail regional, une facon qui comporte une region de reference et une enquete menee aupres des entrepreneurs. Aucun des modeles regionaux n'a indique clairement que la construction d'une route nationale a des retombees sur l'amenagement du territoire. Du point de vue des entrepreneurs, les retombees de la construction d'une route nationale se sont averees clairement p
