Abstract

"Nanchang-Jiujiang Integration" is an important development strategy in Jiangxi Province. This paper embarks from the perspective of promoting regional economic integration, and takes time-distance for an index, and quantitative analysis the highway traffic accessibility in Nanchang-Jiujiang region from different aspects. It aims to evaluate whether the current highway traffic infrastructure could meet the requirements of the development of strategy of "Nanchang-Jiujiang Integration". The research results are as follows: Firstly, the hour communication circles with the core of downtown Nanchang and downtown Jiujiang have covered most parts of Nanchang-Jiujiang region, Either of them can reach the other one and the cities' synchronization effect has been preliminary presented. Secondly, the entirely accessibility of Nanchang-Jiujiang region is in good condition, but there are great differences among the areas. The spatial pattern of accessibility presents an appearance of high-grade road direction and dense network direction. Thirdly, due to the obstructing effect of drainage, there are large differences in accessibility between two sides of a large body of water. Based on the results, we put forward some recommendations to enhance the level of the Nanchang-Jiujiang integration in view of the existing traffic construction and strategic planning.
