“…The benefit of using GIS for distance calculations by using accumulated cost distance analysis was described in Douglas, 1994. This GIS analysis was based on a simplistic raster based approach as suggested by Fuglsang et al (2011), using the cost distance tool in the ESRI ArcInfo software. A cost raster layer with 100 m spatial resolution was composed by using national road data from the Danish survey and cadastre (KMS).…”

“…For exploratory purposes, we therefore chose the simpler and more easily interpretable buffer distance. Generally, the accessibility of a point or piece of land is a relative quality whose value is assigned based on the relationship of the point or piece of land with “the system of opportunities” (Fuglsang et al , 208), particularly those to be found in urban centres. This approach allows all locations to have a degree of relative accessibility (Ingram ).…”

Key Messages Spatial patterns of heat vulnerability exist as a result of variations in the distribution of socio‐economic, environmental, and infrastructural factors. 105 socio‐economically deprived dissemination areas were found to be at higher risk for heat events; the effect of environmental and infrastructural factors may elevate this risk. Results may inform both short‐term emergency management efforts and longer‐term urban planning interventions to reduce health effects of extreme heat events.

“…However, care must be taken with the approach adopted to examine accessibility, especially using spatial accessibility models such as that used by the United Kingdom (UK) Department for Transport and as outlined in Büttner et al [34] and Fuglsang et al [35]. Preston and Raje [36], referring to the UK Department for Transport's accessibility planning approach, said that "although this initiative is not totally without merit, the resulting analysis may be too aggregate, both spatially and socially.…”

An index of accessibility-based vulnerability is created based on a definition of transport-user vulnerability regarding transport accessibility created for the EMPOWER project, in order to assess the project's key performance indicator of the inclusion of vulnerable people in the project's scheme. The objective of the index is to account for various individual vulnerability aspects, but also for the 'multi-dimensionality' of vulnerability, i.e. individuals may be vulnerable because of one specific aspect (e.g., disability), or they may be vulnerable because of multiple aspects which, if assessed in isolation, wouldn't classify the individual as vulnerable. Users of the project scheme in the Dutch city of Enschede are surveyed on, inter alia, their vulnerability based on this definition, according to their income, mobility budget, physical mobility, age, gender, living situation, nation of birth, and education. According to individual questions, 1% to 54% (single parents and females, respectively) of respondents have some level of vulnerability. According to the index, 23-36% of respondents can be considered to be vulnerable. Suitably modified for local conditions, the index is relevant to cities, especially quickly developing cities where congestion reduction is or has been a priority, insofar as it offers a way of measuring and monitoring the vulnerability of the users of their transport system. Finally, steps to adapt the index to other settings (cities or countries) are discussed.
