GIS dataset of Italian railway development, 1839-1913 (by Carlo Ciccarelli and Peter Groote)

The development of railways in Italy (1839-1913). The geodatabase has been built by Carlo Ciccarelli (University of Rome Tor Vergata) and Peter Groote (University of Groningen). GIS dataset available from ArcGIS online; please click the link. Different formats available for download. https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=d4fe94faf2e54518b3f421f19a137d4c Use the legend key to see when railway lines were constructed, or to differentiate between standard gauge and narrow gauge or between primary and secondary railways. For more information, see our articles on the construction of the geodatabase: Carlo Ciccarelli & Peter Groote (2017), Railway Endowment in Italy’s Provinces, 1839-1913, Rivista di Storia Economica (ISSN 0393-3415), Fascicolo 1, april 2017; (https://www.rivisteweb.it/doi/10.1410/86763) Carlo Ciccarelli & Peter Groote (2017), The spread of railroads in Italian provinces: a GIS approach, Scienze Regionali - Italian Journal of Regional Science The layers 'lines conecting capitals' and 'junctions' are of no use in the map viewer of ArcGIS online. We advise to keep these switched off. They are added because they are necessary for the use of the network analyst in ArcGIS desktop. Consequently, they are also included in the downloadable versions of the geodatabase. If you are interested in using the underlying geodatabase in ArcGIS desktop 10.X, then download the map package that is available here, the file geodatabase here, or the shapefile (lacks topological characteristics!) here. If you find the data of use, please let us know at [e-mail] and [e-mail]. If you use the data in an article, please quote our articles in Rivista di Storia Economica and Rivista di Scienze Regionali.

意大利铁路发展历程（1839-1913年）。该地理数据库由罗马第二大学（University of Rome Tor Vergata）的卡洛·奇卡雷利（Carlo Ciccarelli）与格罗宁根大学（University of Groningen）的彼得·格罗特（Peter Groote）共同构建。本GIS（地理信息系统）数据集可从ArcGIS Online获取，请点击以下链接获取：https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=d4fe94faf2e54518b3f421f19a137d4c，支持多种格式下载。可通过图例键查看铁路线路的修建时间，也可借此区分标准轨距与窄轨铁路，或是主线铁路与支线铁路。如需了解更多细节，请参阅我们关于该地理数据库构建的相关论文：卡洛·奇卡雷利与彼得·格罗特（2017），《1839-1913年意大利各省铁路禀赋》（Railway Endowment in Italy’s Provinces, 1839-1913），《经济史评论》（Rivista di Storia Economica，ISSN 0393-3415），2017年4月第1期，链接：https://www.rivisteweb.it/doi/10.1410/86763；卡洛·奇卡雷利与彼得·格罗特（2017），《意大利各省铁路的普及：GIS方法》（The spread of railroads in Italian provinces: a GIS approach），《区域科学杂志》（Scienze Regionali - Italian Journal of Regional Science）。“省会连接线路”（lines conecting capitals）与“枢纽站点”（junctions）图层在ArcGIS Online的地图查看器中无实用价值，我们建议将其关闭。添加这两个图层是为了支持ArcGIS Desktop中的网络分析工具使用，因此在可下载的地理数据库版本中也包含了它们。若您希望在ArcGIS Desktop 10.X中使用该原生地理数据库，可分别下载此处的地图包、此处的文件地理数据库，以及此处的Shapefile（缺失拓扑特性！）。若您认为本数据集对您的研究有所帮助，请通过邮箱[e-mail]与[e-mail]联系我们。若您将本数据集用于学术论文发表，请引用我们发表于《经济史评论》（Rivista di Storia Economica）与《区域科学杂志》（Scienze Regionali - Italian Journal of Regional Science）的相关论文。
