Abstract

This study examines the environmental and spatial impacts of railway routes and proposes a framework for the development of green railway corridors through the strategic selection of key stations. The research focuses on assessing how railway infrastructure influences surrounding ecosystems, land use patterns, and urban development dynamics. By integrating environmental indicators, transportation efficiency metrics, and geospatial analysis, the study identifies critical stations that can serve as hubs for sustainable corridor development. Special attention is given to minimizing carbon emissions, enhancing energy efficiency, and preserving natural landscapes along railway lines. The proposed approach emphasizes the role of multimodal connectivity, green infrastructure, and ecological planning in transforming conventional railway systems into environmentally sustainable transport networks. The findings contribute to the advancement of sustainable transport planning and provide practical recommendations for policymakers and infrastructure developers aiming to balance mobility needs with environmental conservation.
