“…However, the study oversimplified public transportation by attempting to cover a broad range of areas and lacked a comprehensive understanding of the diverse functionalities of various transportation modes. Sutradhar et al [14] tried to address transportation issues in depopulated areas, emphasizing the importance of tailoring solutions to local conditions, but similarly, few suggestions were provided from the perspective of diversity.…”

Given a decreasing and aging population, there is a growing need to establish convenient public transportation systems that offer a variety of transportation modes seamlessly connected to one another. This study attempts to develop an index to assess the hierarchical diversity of public transportation, drawing an analogy between public transportation networks and ecosystems. By considering both hierarchical (meta-physical) and physical connections among respective modes, which are aspects that have not been addressed in previous studies, this study aims to enhance the spatial resolution of the analysis units in the index. The diversity indices were applied to the northern Osaka area in Japan as the study site. The results show a correlation between the diversity index, population, and public transportation modal share. We then discuss the influence of hierarchical diversity on the sustainability of public transportation systems and regional development.
