Accesibilidad territorial ferroviaria y distribución de población: Inglaterra y Gales, 1871 – 1931
Keywords:
accesibilidad, SIG, ferrocarril, territorio, Inglaterra y Gales, poblaciónAbstract
La irrupción del ferrocarril como sistema de transporte motorizado incentivó el desarrollo territorial de los países más industrializados. En el presente artículo se cuantifican los cambios en la accesibilidad territorial ferroviaria, con la finalidad de obtener nuevos instrumentos que permitan entender la evolución demográfica. El ámbito de estudio es Inglaterra y Gales en el período 1871-1931. Para ello, se parte de bases cartográficas exhaustivas digitalizadas en SIG de cada década que incluyen estaciones, líneas férreas y unidades administrativas con datos de los diferentes censos. La modelización se realiza mediante instrumentos de análisis de redes, obteniendo los Índices de Accesibilidad Generalizada y Puntual para cada decenio. Estos resultados son descritos de forma analítica y contrastados estadísticamente con la evolución de población de cada unidad territorial asociada, mostrando así la interrelación entre ferrocarril y territorio.References
