Accessibility and Peripheral Regions

Roger Vickerman

Chapter 3 in Overcoming Isolation, 1995, pp 29-40 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The problem of peripherally is essentially one of accessibility. However, accessibility is not a simple concept, changes in accessibility can be made in many different ways and this needs to be understood if changes in the accessibility of a peripheral region are to have any impact on its economy and development potential. Furthermore, simple improvement of accessibility, however defined, gives no guarantee of improved performance. It can open up the local economy to increased competition. At least it is likely to require other policy initiatives to capitalize on any improvements in accessibility.
