A preliminary analysis of the relationship between special economic zones (SEZs) and land usage. Highlight accessibility between logistical nodes and transportation systems

Abstract

<abstract> <p>Special economic zones (SEZs) are significant in South Italy and the Campania Region as a result of their capacity to promote industrialization, draw in foreign investment and accelerate economic globalization. To assess the effectiveness of land use in Campania's SEZs, this study examined the connections between land use, the transportation network and accessibility. SEZs require a lot of spaces, and land use in SEZs in Campania is always expanding. The accessibility indicator, which is associated with the adaptability of investments, activities and linkages, can be helpful to assess land use and potentiality. This study suggests examining the components of SEZ areas (residential, commercial and industrial) as well as an accessibility-based land use analysis between poles and nodes to provide a clustering between areas potential and where SEZs can improve.</p> </abstract>
