“…Since the lack of access to transportation leads to social exclusion, transport and land use policies focus on accessibility and aim at enabling people to reach destinations at reasonable costs and times (Hawas et al, 2016). Therefore, providing efficient public transport in terms of accessibility is one of the main objectives of policy makers and planners in metropolitan areas throughout the world (Saghapour et al, 2016).…”

“…In countries where transport services are not well developed, are being introduced or are not widely used, the relevant services are planned mostly with the use of ad hoc procedures. Ad hoc methods are commonly applied if the data necessary for "sophisticated planning are not readily available or are inaccurate" [28]. This problem is encountered by the Polish researchers on a daily basis.…”

Towards Sustainable Development and Preventing Exclusions—Determining Road Accessibility at the Sub-Regional and Local Level in Rural Areas of Poland

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The improvement in a regions’ accessibility that accounts for various means of inter-regional transport and inter-regional communication is one of the main determinants of sustainable regional development. This study focuses on road accessibility in rural areas where an insufficient number and scope of international and domestic investments can lead to an imbalance in the transport infrastructure. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate road accessibility at the level of the NUTS4 units in view of their sustainable development and their divergence from rural units that are less distant from the main transport routes. The studied area—a province—is situated in the northeast of Poland. Data concerning the travel time, condition, and density of the road network were analysed to develop and compare the measures of road accessibility in individual units and to perform an overall assessment of the NUTS4 units. Partial indices were calculated with the support of the QGIS and ArcGIS software. Peripheral regions in post-socialist countries appear to be particularly underinvested in terms of the transport, including at the local and regional level. The applied methodology supported the presentation of problem peripheral areas that are underinvested and threatened with exclusion.

“…Entretanto, existem técnicas que podem auxiliar na estruturação desses problemas, compostos por padrões de comportamento do meio urbano e especificidades de cada região. Métodos de análise de decisão multicritério (mcda) tem sido bastante utilizados na escolha de alternativas diante de um conjunto de fatores conflitantes (Aydin & Kahraman, 2012;Engau, Moffattm & Dyk, 2015;Malczewski, 2006;Mardani et al, 2015), com várias aplicações relacionando uso do solo e transportes (Hawas, Hassan & Abulibdeh, 2016;Machado & Lima, 2015;Mosadeghi, Warnken, Tomlinson & Mirfenderesk, 2015;Taleai, Sliuzas & Flacke, 2014). Entre os vários métodos existentes (Bana e Costa & Vansnick., 1994;Lima, Ramos & Fernandes Júnior, 2009;Saaty, 1990), optou-se por trabalhar com o Processo Hierárquico Analítico ahp (Analytic Hierarchy Process) proposto por Saaty (1990), pois é uma alternativa para que os diversos pontos de vista e os diversos juízos de valores possam ser unificados e tratados cientificamente (Barbosa, 2012).…”

Universidade Federal de Itajubá, Itajubá, Brasil.resumo | O objetivo deste trabalho é elaborar um modelo de priorização de áreas urbanas para projetos integrados de revitalização e mobilidade sustentável, em base aos princípios do Desenvolvimento Orientado ao Transporte (tod). Foi desenvolvido um modelo de avaliação espacial multicritério, que posteriormente foi aplicado e validado na cidade de Itajubá-mg, Brasil. O trabalho incorporou, ainda, o uso de Funções Fuzzy, possibilitando a normalização e agregação de critérios qualitativos e quantitativos no Sistema de Informação Geográfica (sig). Como resultado, mapas com índices de prioridades mostraram áreas importantes para receber os projetos de revitalização e mobilidade e urbana, indicando que existem trechos contínuos na região central da área de estudo, o que possibilita a sua implementação. O modelo pode auxiliar os tomadores de decisão a justificar investimentos em áreas prioritárias diante a inconveniente limitação de recursos, visando sempre melhorias na qualidade de vida da população. palavras chave | desenvolvimento sustentável, gestão urbana, mobilidade. abstract | The objective of this work is to develop a prioritization model of urban areas for integrated revitalization and sustainable mobility projects, based on the principles of Transit Oriented Development (tod).A spatial multicriteria evaluation model was developed, which was later applied and validated in Itajubá City, Brazil. The work also used Fuzzy Functions to normalize the criteria, following with the aggregation of qualitative and quantitative criteria in the Geographic Information System (gis). The maps with priority indexes showed important areas to receive revitalization and mobility and urban projects, indicating that there are continuous parts in the central region of the study area, which enables their implementation. The model can help decision-makers to justify investments in priority areas in view of the inconvenient limitation of resources, always aiming to improve the quality of life of the population.keywords | sustainable development, urban management, mobility.Recevido em 11 de setembro de 2017, aprovado em 9 de março de 2018
