Accessibility and spatial interaction: an introduction

Ana Condeço-Melhorado (), Aura Reggiani () and Javier Gutiérrez

Chapter 1 in Accessibility and Spatial Interaction, 2014, pp 1-12 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The concept of accessibility is linked to the level of opportunities available for spatial interaction (flows of people, goods or information) between a set of locations, through a physical and/or digital transport infrastructure network. Accessibility has proved to be a crucial tool for understanding the framework of sustainability policy in light of best practice planning and decision-making processes. Methods such as cost–benefit analysis, multi-criteria analysis and risk analysis can benefit greatly from embedding accessibility results. This book presents a cohesive collection of recent studies, modeling and discussing spatial interaction by means of accessibility indicators
