Vesa KanninenOctober 25, 2011First, I would suggest devleoping this glossary not towards textbook-definition but towards a bit more comprehensive definitions. I feel that the aim should be better understanding of the concepts. Hence, the definitions, while still concise, could incorporate various aspects of the terms in question. This would also enable better explanations of the measures and components. I understand that this, or course, is a more time- and resource-consuming direction, but maybe in the next version we could divide that task and then have another round of discussion? The definitions could also be on two levels: first, the lowest common denominator -type; second, a more elaborated version with more tones .Second, I agree with Derek's views on land use planning and sustainable accessibility . However, given my first point, I'd work with including a bit of theory and normative aspects into the definition, thus giving it more depth and content. As for sustainable accessibility, while Luca&al are certainly correct in practical terms to say as little as possible , for me that sounds fully context-dependent, which in my mind cannot be the starting point for a definition of a normative concept including sustainability . Third, I would suggest adding a Perceptional component to the list, with a definition revolving around the idea that perceived accessibility is often important in determining a) mode and destination choices and b) the outcomes of planning decisions. The definition should include the idea that it's about perceived time, perceived ease, perceived cost, perceived quality and perceived culture that (together or separately) form a sometimes difficult-to-measure yet tangible component to accessibility . The perceptional component also has different foci at different spatial scales. I understand that only parts of this can go into computer models or DSSes.
