High-Speed Rail and Interscalar Coordinated Development from a Multidisciplinary Comparative Perspective:Hotspots,Features,and Future Directions
Achieving interscalar coordinated development along with the fast expand-ing high-speed rail(HSR)networks poses a challenge in multidisciplinary research and planning practice.This paper goes beyond existing scholarship by adopting a comparative approach that covers the fields of planning,geography,economics,and transportation.We employ CiteSpace,a knowledge mapping software,to analyze the hotspots,characteristics,and current gaps in HSR studies found in the Chinese core journals over the past 20 years.The results reveal four common characteristics across these disciplines:a shifting emphasis from efficiency enhancement to pursuing multiple values;research design that are sensitive to different developmental stages,with a pro-growth orientation within internal disciplinary frameworks;the gradual deepening of research,accompanied by academic debates in the normalization stage;and the exploration of research methods and the refinement of research data.Due to limitations in research chronology,analytical scale,disciplinary background,and knowledge systems,the integration of these four disciplines remains insufficient,hin-dering the formation of a comprehensive research paradigm on the sustainable devel-opment of high-speed rail and regional development.In response,the paper proposes four theoretical research directions and five practical research directions to facilitate the integration of interdisciplinary studies.
