Estimación de la cohesión social en los municipios españoles peninsulares tras la implantación de la alta velocidad ferroviaria

The aim is to classify and identify those municipalities that enhanced or hindered their social cohesion, after the construction of the new high-speed railway corridors. For these indicators of structural backwardness and potential accessibility, territorial, illustrating the result with GIS tools are used. The result show little defined territorial patterns as the positive or negative effect of the new infrastructure, showing numerous municipalities with geographical and demographic disadvantages that would not improve their situation. The proposed methodology characterizes social cohesion before the construction of the infrastructures.
