Transportation and regional economic development: A case study of Okshitpin Village, Padaung Township Aung Kyaw Mya Thaung Nay Win O0 Many geographical studies mentioned that transportation development could generate economic development and economic development also forces to construct new transportation infrastructures. However, the process of economic development generated by transportation development is not fully explained in the lite ratures. In this paper, Okshitp in Village which is located near the jun ct ion of Pathein-Monywa and Padaung-Taungguk Highways was selected as a case study and tried to ti nd out the process of economic development generated by transportation changes. It is found that transportation changes generate the economic activities in Okshitpin Village. In addition, development of economic activities in term of number and type also differ s during different period of transport development From the analysis of economic type and transaction linkages it is found that although location of Okshitpin is very favorable to become a commodity exchange cent er between four different regions, present economic development pattern is mainly depending on local integration of economic activities and only small amount of regional commodity exchanges is found. It is necessary to encourage the development of facilities like banking, communication, warehouse, transportation companies to develop as a commodity exchange center. 2006 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000002702 https://meral.edu.mm/records/2702
