A Study on Method for the Regional Evaluation of Low-Frequency Public Transport Accessibility

低頻度な公共交通網を有する地域の移動利便性の評価手法に関する研究

Aging and a decrease in population are advancing simultaneously in many local cities. The increase in public transport demand is expected in the area where aging progresses. However, in the area where population density is low, it is expected that the transport efficiency of public transport falls greatly by a decrease in population. Therefore, it is expected that it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain public transport for local cites. In this study, the authors propose a method to evaluate public transport accessibility using the time-space network in the area which has low frequency public transport. Then, the authors discuss how to improve the public transport accessibility. We hope improving the public transport accessibility will contribute to the improvement of the sustainability of the city.高齢化が進む地域においては公共交通需要の増加が予想される反面、低密度な地域では人口減少により公共交通の輸送効率は大きく低下していくものと考えられる。高齢化と人口減少が同時に進行する局面では、低頻度な公共交通の維持がますます困難になることが予想される。そこで、本研究では、都市の持続可能性を向上させるための方策について都市構造の評価の一環として　低頻度な公共交通の利便性を適切に捉えるために、時空間ネットワークを用いた新たな評価手法および改善手法を提案する。
