Abstract

This study investigates the impact of high-speed rail (HSR) on athlete mobility, sport event management, and regional economic development, particularly in the context of major international sporting events. The research aims to address the role of HSR in improving accessibility, reducing travel times, and supporting efficient logistics for athletes, event staff, and spectators. This study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, using data from Scopus, to synthesize existing research. The review process involved screening 962 documents, resulting in the analysis of 71 relevant articles. The study follows PRISMA and SPAR-4-SLR guidelines to ensure methodological rigor and transparency in selecting and analyzing studies. The study highlights both the positive contributions of HSR, including enhanced mobility and economic benefits for host cities, as well as the challenges posed by spatial imbalances in infrastructure development. While HSR facilitates improved connectivity and contributes to the economic growth of metropolitan areas, smaller cities and peripheral regions often face marginalization in terms of economic opportunities and event participation. The findings suggest that although HSR significantly enhances event logistics, there is a pressing need for more inclusive infrastructure planning to ensure equitable access to these benefits. Additionally, the study underscores the environmental sustainability of HSR systems as an alternative to more carbon-intensive transport modes. Overall, this research provides insights into how HSR can be leveraged to improve the management of international sporting events and contribute to long-term urban and regional development while also addressing the existing disparities in accessibility and economic development across regions.
