We are pleased to invite you to contribute papers for NARSC-NECTAR organized sessions on Best Practices in Accessibility Analysis and Planning, which will be held at the 57th Annual North American Meetings of the Regional Science Association International (RSAI), November 10-13, Denver, U.S.A.
The last decade has witnessed considerable progress in accessibility analysis and modelling. Studies moved, for example, from aggregate to individual and high-resolution GIS-based accessibility analysis. In physical planning processes, accessibility is slowly moving from travel speeds as a transport planners’ perspective of accessibility to concepts of accessibility linking transport networks, spatial structures and social effects. The sessions bring together best practices in accessibility analysis and modelling with best practices in accessibility evaluations as a framework/tool to support integrated transport and land-use policy-making in Europe and the U.S.
Please submit your abstract (title, name of authors and their affiliations, summary of 500-700 words and 3-5 keywords) to the session organizers by 15 July 2010 by sending an e-mail to [log in to unmask]
We intend to publish a collection of papers in book form under the title Best Practices in Accessibility Analysis and Planning. The book will be published by Edward Elgar in a new NECTAR Series on Transport and Communications Research. If you are interested in having your paper considered for this project, please contact one of the session organizers. Based on the submissions and emerging themes, we will select contributions for the book.
Session organizers: Karst Geurs (University of Twente, the Netherlands); Kevin J. Krizek (University of Colorado, United States) and Aura Reggiani (University of Bologna, Italy).
