Definition

  • Accessibility refers to the ability of people to overcome distance or other constraints and reach locations, activities, or services that are important to them. A number of different accessibility measures and concepts exist, though these can be classified into two distinct categories: (1) proximity (or zonal or aggregate) and (2) individual (or space-time or disaggregate) measures.
