| With its unique transportation characteristics,high-speed railway,in the context of economic globalization,adapts to the requirements of the long distance of passenger and cargo displacement,wide range of space and strong timeliness,and thus more closely drives the various fields of economic and social development and makes a far-reaching impact.South Korea is the world’s earlier constructor of high-speed railway.In the late of 1980s they started planning and designing their high-speed railway,and in 1992 the program started.In order to build high-speed railway,the South Korean government set up a special high-speed railway construction company in Korea,which is responsible for high-speed railway design,construction,supervision,and raise its construction funds.Due to the lack of construction experience,in the early construction of high-speed railway line design and construction standards on the error,resulting in a lot of built roadbeds and bridges were demolished,and the cost of a substantial increased.After the introduction of the French TGV technology and vehicles,South Korea’s high-speed railway construction progress,and gradually developed KTX-samcen,HEMU-430X and other high-speed EMU with independent property rights.In terms of financing,South Korea’s high-speed railways have adopted a variety of financing methods,more than half of which are foreign loans,domestic bonds and private investment,reducing the financial burden of the government.In 2004,the Gyeongbu high-speed railway in Korea was opened to traffic,and its opening greatly improved the reachability of the cities along the city,the urbanization effect was initially realized and promoted the development and prosperity of emerging cities such as Sejong City,forming new urban agglomeration and Economic growth point.At the same time,the opening of high-speed railways has had a profound impact on the related industries.Tourism,high-speed railway along the city’s tourist reception increased significantly,the relevant supporting industries are actively driven,Seoul to Busan’s day trip has become possible,but at the same time has expanded the non-coastal cities and cities along the tourism resources between the endowment Gap;civil aviation industry,due to the narrow territory of South Korea,the domestic route by the impact of high-speed railway is very large,so the airline will focus on the development of international routes,and operating Jeju Island route-based low-cost airlines gradually rise.In the industrial structure,high-speed railway to speed up the flow of people,to promote the exchange of labor and production factors,to speed up the dissemination of knowledge and technology,triggering changes in urban rent and rent,which led to the central city increasingly gathered financial,Value-added industries,while the traditional manufacturing industry is relocated to the surrounding areas,making these areas also received varying degrees of development.Throughout the development of high-speed railway in South Korea,although the mileage of South Korea’s high-speed railway is short and small scale,even the technical gap between China’s high-speed railway and Korea high-speed railway is not small,and in the early time od construction they made a serious mistake,but there are still some good inspiration.South Korea’s high-speed railway provides high-quality services and diversified products,their scientific financing model and government support for public transport policy are worthy of reference.However,its designing frustration is what we should learn from. |
