چکیده

Regional accessibility can be defined as the ease with which destinations can be reached throughout a region. The proximity of a residence to potential destinations, such as jobs, shopping, and leisure-time activities, and the nature of the transportation links to those destinations together determine accessibility. In general, the closer a residence is to the center of the region, the higher the level of regional accessibility, given the concentration of jobs and other activities in the center. Close proximity to secondary centers of activity – “subcenters” – also contributes to regional accessibility. For any given residence, accessibility will vary for each type of activity (e.g. jobs, shopping, leisure, etc.) and mode of travel (e.g. driving versus transit).
