Abstract

<p>The Chuo Express Liner is a planned Japanese maglev line designed to ultimately connect Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka. The line is expected to connect Tokyo and Nagoya with a 40 minute travel time from 2027, and eventually Tokyo and Osaka in one hour, running at a maximum speed of 500 km/h. Intermediate stations will also be constructed in Kanagawa, Yamanashi, Nagano and Gifu Prefectures, and a rail yard is planned for Nakatsugawa, Gifu Prefecture.</p><p>This paper focuses on problems with evaluation of community development projects due to the Chuo Express Liner using a residents’ consciousness survey in Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture. We analyzed the survey results using factor analysis and covariance structural analysis consciousness for town planning and the regional effects of opening a station.</p><p>The results of the analysis are summarized as follows. First, the factor analysis identified three effects for station;function of intermodal passenger transport, comfortability, and two way tourism, and three effects for expectations;regional vitalization effects, town planning and interregional exchange. Second, the values of the latent variables that can be inferred from measurements of the observable variables provide corroborative evidence of the relationship between the evaluation of the projects for Gifu Station and expectations for community development projects through the covariance structural analysis of residents’ consciousness.</p><p>JEL Classification: R11, R12 </p>
