세계 항공 유동공간의 연계 구조 = The Structure of Connectivity in the Space of World Airline Flows

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study attempts to clarify hierarchical structure of connectivity in the space of world airline flows within world urban system by examining OD matrix among both 80 airports in air passenger flows and 73 cities in air cargo flows in the year of 2008. The ranks of Asian cities have taken upward and those of European cities have kept their strong positions, while American cities have declined in their ranks since the 1990s, which means significant role of Asian cities as major production sites in global production chains as well as strong development of producer service networks in the advanced economy of Europe and North America. Global Network Index(GNI) shows that European cities play significant roles as intra-continental hubs in air passenger flows. In contrast, East Asian cities and cities in Malaysia, India and central Asia, where are developing strong manufacturing sector, become important nodal points in air cargo flows. The air passenger network shows strong hub-and-spoke regionalized pattern while air cargo network reveals less regionalized inter-continental point-to-point pattern worldwide. Such cities as Paris, Dubai, Singapore, Tokyo, Madrid, New York, Beijing, Shanghai, Incheon, Vienna, Munich, Delhi, Moscow, and Auckland become major nodal points in the space of airline flows. Incheon shows relatively high nodality by taking 2nd rank in air cargo flows and 10th rank in air passenger flows in 2008.
