Abstract: This policy brief aims at providing information on the accessibility of selected services of general interest (SeGI) including retailers (supermarkets and convenient stores), doctors (general practitioners), pharmacies, hospitals, cinemas, banks, primary and secondary schools in Europe, with a focus on urban / rural areas and remoteness. The spatial accessibility indicator developed for this brief is based on the service location data collected in the PROFECY project1 (ESPON, 2017a; 2017b), a 1-km2 population grid developed by GEOSTAT (2011) and a road network from TELEATLAS MultiNet 2014. It provides an example of analytical contribution to the upcoming Rural Observatory.
