Abstract: Although there have been a great many studies of rural accessibility, the vast majority have been concerned only with basic survey and evaluation, with very little systematic attempt at developing methodology for improving rural access standards. This paper is based upon previous work using the time—space approach to evaluation and policy appraisal, and considers its extension into planning. This can only be done under the guidance of crucial policy-decisions on the accessibility targets desired, cost limits, and criteria for the distribution of (access) benefits such as the degree of social/spatial equity. Policy options and their implications are discussed, and a planning framework outlined.
