ACCESSIBILITY: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS

The character of accessibility as measuring the situation of a location in a region rather than its intrinsic qualities is emphasized throughout this paper. A brief characterization lays the basis for a sketch of data requirements, a specification of operational definitions, and a review of earlier findings. The idea of accessibility under competition is developed with several formulations, which are then compared through a synthetic example. Concluding comments suggest some guidelines and future directions.
