TiTuSS Transport Database

The excel file provides a longitudinal database which integrates information for the road networks with demographic, administrative and socioeconomic data for the municipalities of mainland Portugal over the 50-year period from 1971 to 2020. Although the database refers to the road network and road-based accessibility, it also includes simple measures of the railway network, namely the number of active railway stations in each municipality and the road-based distance and travel time to the nearest active railway station. The database can be used to study the effects of improved road accessibility on multiple socioeconomic outcomes in Portugal (e.g., population growth/decline, employment growth/decline, regional cohesion, urbanization patterns, etc.) over a considerable long period of 50 years. The database was constructed as part of the project TiTuSS-Transport Infrastructure & Urban Spatial Structure: Economic, Social & Environmental Effects (PTDC/EGE-PTDC/EGE-ECO/28805/2017). Please use the most recent version of the database.

本Excel文件提供一套纵向数据库，整合了1971至2020年50年间葡萄牙本土各市镇的道路网络信息，以及人口统计、行政与社会经济数据。尽管该数据库聚焦于道路网络与基于道路的可达性研究，但同时纳入了铁路网络的简易测度指标，具体包含各城镇的运营火车站数量，以及前往最近运营火车站的基于道路的距离与出行时长。依托该数据库，可针对葡萄牙长达50年的长时段，研究道路可达性提升对各类社会经济结果的影响，例如人口增减、就业增减、区域凝聚力、城市化模式等。本数据库是TiTuSS项目——「交通基础设施与城市空间结构：经济、社会与环境效应」（项目编号：PTDC/EGE-ECO/28805/2017）的研究成果之一。请使用该数据库的最新版本。
