Abstract

Several decades of High-Speed Rail (HSR) in Japan have generated direct impacts on Japanese’s life regarding reducing short time travel, enabling newly accessible areas, and increasing transport market. This paper discusses the indirect effects of HSR network in Honshu area based on urbanisation sustainability regarding land pricing impacts. This study conducts the quantitative analysis to measure the impact of Shinkansen network in the prefecture with and without HSR stations. The land price data is received since 1983. In this study, four case studies have been highlighted using ANOVA analysis to determine the correlation between each case. Besides, the Least Significant Different (LSD) analysis is used to compare the relationship on each pair later on. The research found that the big cities show no relation to land price with other towns due to the land prices in metropolitan areas had expensive before coming to HSR. And, the LSD analysis results show dramatically different on land price in both cases Osaka – Shimane, and Osaka – Tottori that represent high values of |xi-xj| around 4,500 Yen/m2. But, the comparisons of those cities with Kyoto represents slightly different on land value at 401.74 Yen/m2.

Highlights

  • High-Speed Rail (HSR) plays an essential role in human life, social and economics

  • The analysis in this study is expected to clarify and highlight the differentiation on the effects of HSR services; in other words, it can be answered the research question: Has the Shinkansen network effected on land pricing in Honshu area? And, what are the impacts on land price in the area without Shinkansen systems? The reliable land price information is used from Tochidai (2017) and, the analysis is designed along four cases study by comparing one prefecture with HSR service with two prefectures without HSR services [29]

  • HSR naturally offered to shorten travel time and to enlarge the gaps between cities caused by newly accessible areas are reached

Summary

Introduction

High-Speed Rail (HSR) plays an essential role in human life, social and economics. Since 1964, the HSR was firstly operated in Japan, and the trend of using HSR has been widely exploited in another 18 countries around the world. Overall parts of HSR system have been gradually developed on its model for supporting customers' requirements regarding increasing conveniences, saving travel time, and enabling new areas [1]. The benefit of HSR was over the airline in China in term of high transportation capacity, travel speed and intercity travel demand. High demand on HSR system caused on reducing passenger on domestic China airline [2]. In Spain, the trend of using transportation between big cities has been changed from airplane to HSR [3]
