- Social infrastructure planning is crucial to ensure the effective and comprehensive redelivery of local social services. Spatial accessibility is one important dimension of social equality. The approach developed in this study will support rapid assessments of inequalities and ‘what-if’ analyses by local community. It has no assumption and less computational load. It is particularly robust and flexible for decision-making support in a planning context when various alternatives are considered at early stage. With this approach, local organisations are then able to interpret spatial accessibility measurement and further analyse inequality with a range of demographic and socio-economic variables as well as monitor changes in accessibility over time.
