STEPWISE REGRESSION MODEL OF DEVELOPMENT AT NONMETROPOLITAN INTERCHANGES

After a brief outburst of research on the Interstate highway system soon after its construction, the network and its varied and wide-ranging aptitude for reshaping the nonurban United States were bypassed as major points of contention by social scientists. Land use conversion brought about by the system is a logical measure of the network's microlevel impact on rural and nonmetropolitan areas and is the focal point of this paper. This study features a stepwise regression model that explains over 50 percent of the variation in interchange area development at 65 nonmetropolitan Kentucky interchanges. The procedure relies on four independent variables (preconstruction development, interchange type, whether the site permits the legal sale of alcoholic beverages, and whether the interchange is in Appalachia) to predict the dependent variable, which is current development. The results of this study indicate the widely diverse development process found around nonmetropolitan Interstate interchanges. Both the theoretical and applied aspects of transportation-related development are considered by this model.
