Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Territorial space and transportation are closely related concepts, and the mechanisms governing their interactions and their coordinated development are important research directions of academic concern. On the one hand, transportation networks are the skeleton of national and regional development, and a comprehensive transportation system of highways, railways, aviation, and waterborne transportation promotes the development of territorial space. On the other hand, the pressure transportation infrastructure and transportation activities exert in terms of the protection of territorial space, such as from an ecological and agricultural land perspective, is also increasing. Coordinating the relationship between development and protection, using the network effect of transportation to empower regional development, and at the same time enhancing how green the transportation field is, thereby enhancing regional sustainability, are key scientific issues that demand to be studied urgently. In order to promote research in the field of territorial space and the coordination transportation and to promote the deep integration of production, study, and research, we will launch a Special Issue of the journal Land, entitled “Territorial Space and Transportation Coordinated Development”.

This study investigates the relationship between intercity transportation accessibility and network centrality across South Korea by integrating Global Positioning System (GPS)-based mobility data with graph-theoretic centrality measures, including degree, PageRank, local clustering coefficient, harmonic, Katz, and information centrality. Employing both statistical modeling and machine learning techniques, this analysis uncovers key structural patterns and interaction effects within the national mobility network. The findings yield several important insights. First, the Seoul Metropolitan Area emerges as the dominant mobility hub, with Busan, Daegu, and Daejeon functioning as secondary centers, reflecting a polycentric urban configuration. Second, intermediary transfer hubs—despite having lower direct connectivity—substantially enhance overall network efficiency and interregional mobility. Third, transportation accessibility, particularly in relation to regional transit and highway infrastructure, exhibits a significant association with centrality measures and strong feature importance, identifying these modes as primary determinants of spatial connectivity. Fourth, the impact of accessibility on centrality is characterized by nonlinear relationships and threshold effects. By elucidating the complex interplay between mobility infrastructure and spatial network dynamics, this study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of regional connectivity and network centrality and offers policy-relevant insights for future transportation planning.
