Traffic dominance and spatial pattern characteristics in Eastern Russia
Under the background of"the Belt and Road"and"China-Mongolia-Russia economic corridor"initiatives,this paper studied the traffic dominance and its spatial pattern characteristics in Eastern Russia during 2005-2019.The evaluation of traffic dominance was conducted with three indicators,in other words,traffic network density,location advantage,traffic facility degree.The spatial differentiation of the traffic dominance,traffic network density,location advantage,and traffic facility degree was performed respectively by using ArcGIS.The results are as following.First,the comprehensive traffic scale and traffic capacity have decreased in Eastern Russia.Some traffic in-dicators have shown a tendency of attenuation backward in Eastern Russia.The construction,transformation and re-newal of traffic facilities are very urgent and imminent in Eastern Russia.Second,the traffic dominance of eastern Russia has decreased,and the traffic dominance of most federal subjects is lower than the average level of all the fed-eral subjects.Spatially,the traffic dominance in Siberian Federal District is higher than that of Far East Federal Dis-trict,with the order of their traffic dominance as follows:Western Siberian Federal District>Eastern Siberian Federal District,and Southern Far East Federal District>Northern Far East Federal District.Third,the road network density has increased and the railway network has not changed in Eastern Russia.Spatially,the traffic network density of the Eastern Russia shows"High West,Low East"and"High South,Low North"spatial patterns.The location ad-vantage of Siberian Federal District presents a"core-edge"pattern with Novosibirsk Region as the center and decreasing to the periphery.The location advantage of Far East Federal District shows a"core-edge"pattern with Khabarovsk Territory as the center and decreasing to the periphery.The traffic facility degree of Eastern Russia has decreased,showing a"High West,Low East"spatial pattern.Finally,the traffic dominance,traffic network density,location advantage,and traffic facility degree in Siberian Federal District are all higher than those of Far East Federal District.The areas with high levels are concentrated in Omsk Region,Novosibirsk Region,Altay Territory and Kemerovo Region.The areas with low ones are mostly in Kamchatka Territory,Magadan Region,Chukotka Autonomous Area,Republic of Altay and Republic of Tyva.
