October 24, 2011Accessibility The ability to reach deresid goods, services, activities (together called opportunities) and the ability of destinations to be reached by people and goods (sometimes called catchments)[I SUGGEST DELETING ALL TYPES OF MEASURES AS THE LIST IS PARTIAL AND POTENTIALLY MISLEADING]TIME Contour measures .OPPORTUNITY Contour measures are also common which are the travel time to reach a threshold number of opportunities – these are particularly important in activity analysis) ]Gravity measures [I don’t agree with the definition at all – continuous measures are the normal term to distinguish from contour measures. Gravity measures are something quite different that include terms of attraction at each end as well as a measure of separation]Indicator The way in which accessibility is expressed. Personal capabilities (of accessibility) The needs, abilities (depending on people’s physical condition, availability of travel modes, income, travel budget, educational level etc.)[Opportunity measures? - and the opportunities available to individuals.[Land use component - (of accessibility) The land-use system, consisting of the amount, quality and spatial distribution of identifiable opportunities.[MANY LAND USE PLANNING SYSTEMS DO NOT HAVE A BASIS IN EITHER EFFICIENCY OR ETHICS] Land use planning Encompassing various disciplines which seek to order and regulate land use in an efficient and ethical way. (Source: wikipedia)Network measures [THE DEFINITION IS TOO VAGUE TO BE HELPFUL AND i THINK IT SHOULD BE DELETED LIKE THE OTHER TYPES OF MEASURES THAT ARE ILL DEFINED - how many friends a person has on facebook might be a personal capability network measure, and the physical networks omits e-networks. Even for physical networks the definition is unclear since ‘route segments’ is very pejorative.]Sustainable [CAN WE SAY ACCESSIBILITY BY RENEWABLE ENERGY IF WE MEAN THAT AND ACCESSIBILITY BY WALKING IF WE MEAN THAT - SUSTAINBILITY IS NOT WELL ENOUGH DEFINED FOR A GLOSSARY] accessibility the amount and the diversity of activity places that people can reach within a given travel time and/or cost with as little as possible use of non renewable, or difficult to renew, resources, including land and infrastructure.
