Interactive Mechanism of Integration Between Land Use Around High-Speed Railway Stations and Urbanization from the Stakeholder Perspective—A Case Study of Typical Stations in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area
As key nodes in the regional transportation network, the integration of land use around high-speed railway (HSR) stations and urbanization is a complex process involving multi-subject participation and multi-interest games. Based on stakeholder theory, this paper selects four typical HSR/intercity stations in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Guangzhou South Station, Hong Kong West Kowloon Station, Zhaoqing East Station, and Zhongshan North Station) as research objects. Through qualitative research methods such as in-depth interviews, field surveys, and policy text analysis, it identifies the core stakeholders in the integration process, analyzes the interest demands and behavioral logic of three major subjects (government, market entities, and the public), reveals the interactive game mechanism among different subjects, and proposes optimization strategies for interest coordination. The research finds that the interactive relationship between the government's planning guidance and policy regulation, market entities' capital investment and operation management, and the public's demand feedback and rights expression determines the direction and effect of the integration. The interest imbalance among core stakeholders is the key inducement for the lagging integration of some stations. From the perspective of interest coordination, this paper provides theoretical reference and practical paths for the efficient land use around HSR stations and the high-quality integration of urbanization in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
