Download or read book Airports Airport Expansions and Employment at Local and Regional Scale written by Simon Matthieu Mosbah and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. commercial airports serve as gateways for cities competing globally. Local policy-makers can enhance air service in two ways: by providing financial support to airlines adding destinations, or expanding airport runway capacity to trigger a supply shock. This dissertation investigates the political economy and planning of airport expansions by addressing the following questions: To what extent does expanding airport capacity contribute to the impacts of air service on employment growth at metro area level? To what extent does airport-related employment growth and development occur in areas closer to the airport, and through which mechanisms in terms of airport expansions and planning initiatives? How do decision-makers of airport expansions perceive the impacts of the airport in the regional economy, and integrate this conceptualization in their decisions? The study uses quantitative and qualitative methods. A landscape study of airport expansions leads to statistical analyses of the association between air service, economic growth and airport expansions, and the selection of case studies. A study of airport zones leads to a typology and statistical models describing the role of air traffic in supporting airport zone employment growth. Finally, three case studies are conducted to study how airport expansions are decided and how their impacts are assessed. The positive association between air traffic and economic growth does not appear to be mediated, on average, by airport expansions. Airport zone employment does not appear to grow faster than in the rest of the metro areas. The concentration of airport-related sectors, transportation, warehousing and car rental, decreases on average between 2002 and 2011, which suggests a diversification of airport zones toward non airport-activity sectors. However, the professional services sectors remain under-represented in the airport zone. Statistical models suggest that passenger traffic and airport location influence airport zone employment. The case studies suggest that the metrics the “airport growth coalition” uses to measure the success of their airport and their air service development strategy are narrower than employment growth. These findings suggest avenues for additional research on the role of air traffic in metropolitan economies and the evolution of airport zones in the U.S.

Download or read book Tourism Development in India written by Kevin Hannam and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tourism to and within India has undergone some important changes in recent years seen by the rising numbers of international tourists and increase in domestic tourism. This has led to the redevelopment and rebranding of many of its destinations as the Indian government has begun to recognise the potential importance of tourism to the Indian economy and has begun to invest in tourism infrastructure. It is also recognised that as its economy continues to grow at a rapid rate, India will also become one of the most important countries in terms of future outbound tourism. Tourism and India is the first book to specifically focus on and fully analyze the issues facing contemporary India both as a destination and a potential source of tourists. The book analyses previous research and applies critical theory to key aspects of tourism in this region and supports this with a wide range of examples to illustrate the key conceptual points. As such the book examines aspects of tourism in India including tourism governance, cultural tourism, heritage tourism, nature-based tourism from the supply side and international tourism, domestic tourism, outbound tourism and the Indian Diaspora from the demand side. This timely book includes original research to offer insights into India's future development in terms of tourism. It will be of interest to students, researchers and academics in the areas of Tourism, Geography and related disciplines"--EBL

Download or read book The Politics of Scale in Policy written by Natalie Papanastasiou and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2019-05-29 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Succeeding in the art of contemporary policymaking involves designing policies which reflect the deeply interconnected nature of political space. Nevertheless, policy continues to be articulated through age-old categories and hierarchies of scale. This book asks why scale occupies this enduring position of privilege in policymaking, highlighting how scales are far from ‘natural’ features of policy and that they are instead essential to the armoury of policy practice. Drawing on empirical data from the field of education governance, the book traces how scales are crafted and mobilised in policymaking practices, demonstrating that ‘scalecraft’ is key to understanding the production of hegemony.

Download or read book The politics of airport expansion in the United Kingdom written by Steven Griggs and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The massive expansion of global aviation, its insatiable demand for airport capacity and its growing contribution to carbon emissions make it a critical societal problem. Alongside traditional concerns about noise and air pollution, airport politics has been connected to the problems of climate change and peak oil. Yet it is still thought to be a driver of economic growth and connectivity in an increasingly mobile world. The politics of airport expansion in the United Kingdom provides the first in-depth analysis of the protest campaigns and policymaking practices that have marked British aviation since the construction of Heathrow Airport. Grounded in documentary analysis, interviews and policy texts, it constructs and employs poststructuralist policy analysis to chart rival groups and movements seeking to shape public policy. This book will appeal to people interested in the history of aviation and airports in Britain, local campaigns and environmental protests, and the politics of climate change.

Download or read book Airport Economics written by Peter Forsyth and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-27 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive guide to the economics of airports for all managers, regulators and educators within the aviation industry. Written by three renowned experts but made accessible and relevant for all those working within the industry, or aspiring to do so, it is the perfect entry point for learning about the underlying economics of airports as a crucial component of the air transport system. It explains the cost structures of airports and then relates these to how airports determine their charges. It explains how charges at different airports vary, whether this is due to different types of traffic, different input prices, ways of producing outputs or different levels of efficiency. Most airports are publicly owned or regulated, and there has been a trend towards privatisation. The book explains how airports have been regulated and assesses how well the regulatory structures have performed; it discusses the trend towards light-handed regulation and the reliance on competition where this exists. The book examines the problems of limited capacity at airports and how these are resolved through slots and charging systems, and the long-term solution of investment in airports—why it is controversial, and how it can be achieved effectively. It also considers the environmental impacts of airports and the issues these pose for managers, from the well-known problems of airport noise to the growing recognition of the impacts of air transport on climate change, and the roles airports play in mitigating these consequences. Written for airport and airline managers, regulators and students, this book will suit Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes on air transport management.
