| Title of the article | Development of Baku agglomeration’s transportation system |
| Abstract. | Problem statement. Research objectives: 1) provision of Baku agglomeration’s characteristics in accordance with the approach developed by the Institute of Geography under the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Central Research Institution of Urban Planning; 2) determination of the feasibility of establishing a new International Airport terminal from the viewpoint of transport accessibility; 3) identification of the development trends of Baku agglomeration’s transport infrastructure over a 30-year period. Results. The first section of the article contains a determination of Baku metropolitan area’s parameters, the key features of Greater Baku’s territorial development – the agglomeration index and coefficient, and the growth rate. The second section of the article features an analysis of the transportation accessibility of satellite cities and the agglomeration core, the major infrastructure facilities of internal and interurban transportation, an optional concept of a new International Airport’s location on an axis of the transportation corridor interconnecting the sub-cities of the metropolitan area. A statistical data analysis and a calculation of basic system parameters are provided in the final section of the article. Conclusions. The rationality of a new air transportation facility’s location is substantiated in the article using the spatial separation method. The transportation system’s development trends within the planning pattern of the Azerbaijan Republic’s capital region have been identified on the basis of an analysis of Absheron peninsula’s transport infrastructure conducted since 1986. The resulting data can be used for the purpose of forecasting the long-term development of Baku agglomeration’s transportation system using the extrapolation method. |
