Network analysis of French inland waterways since 1700
This paper describes the integration of regional navigable networks in France since 1700, using new network connectivity metrics. It shows the progressive integration of the network in the 18th and 19th century and its rapid shrinking in the 20th century
L’effet territorial des réseaux de transport en question
dans la longue dure (Mimeur et Thvenin) 1
Analyse diachronique de la croissance du réseau ferroviaire français entre 1860 et 1930
L’irruption du chemin de fer au cours du XIX e siècle en France a permis d’élargir l’horizon spatio-temporel en créant un choc d’accessibilité. Si l’infrastructure ferroviaire s’est largement diffusée dans sa phase de croissance dans l’ensemble du pays entre 1860 et 1930, la « révolution de la vitesse » permise par le train est loin d’être homogène. Cet article propose d’interroger ces deux dimensions du réseau ferroviaire français dans une persp…
Exploring daily mobility in space and time
Revisiting the structuring effect of transportation infrastructure
The development of the French railway network was mostly planned in a centralized manner. Despite the multiplication of travel opportunities, the local impact on the demographics is often given as an indirect effect of this spatial transformation. However, this “structuring effect” is still subject to controversies within the academia.In this paper, we construct a historical geographic information system describing the evolution of the French net…
Measuring one century of railway accessibility and population change in France. A historical GIS approach
Mapping the Distortions in Time and Space
Accessibility is frequently used in transportation planning to measure the efficiency of new infrastructure in terms of travel time and population served. In this article, the authors apply accessibility concepts based on the geo-historical angle. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between population dynamics and the railway expansion from 1830 to 1930. Their approach considers a local scale composed of some 36,000 French c…
Spatial History
A comparative spatial history combining historical narrative, geographical thinking, and spatial analysis of historical data offers new perspectives on railway expansion and its effects in France and Great Britain during the long nineteenth century. Accessible rail transport in the rural regions of both countries opened new economic opportunities in agriculture, extractive industries, and service trades, helping to revitalize rural communities an…
