“…format (Goliszek, Połom, 2016;Karner, 2018;Goch et al, 2018;Stępniak et al, 2019). Szczecin was the first city in Poland for which the GTFS data has been made available online (Rosik et al, 2021b;Rosik et al, 2020). The set of data used for the purpose of this study includes text files uploaded by ZDiTM in October 2018, and the above-mentioned tool creates a network database (stops and public transport lines).…”

The analysis presented herein is aimed at indicating disparities in accessibility to some selected travel destinations by means of private and public transport in the city of Szczecin. Accessibility is a simple measure of potential interactions between two points in space. For the purpose of the study, an original model of an individual transportation system has been developed using Google Maps API data. In order to do so, some GTFS and pedestrian-related data have been downloaded. To calculate source-destination travel times at certain times of the day for four different parameters of pedestrian motion speed, ArcGIS Network Analyst software has been used. Five research methods have been applied: the proximity measure, the population percentage measure, the cumulative accessibility measure, the potential accessibility index and the potential accessibility quotient. In order to develop an ultimate accessibility rating for housing estates in Szczecin, a synthetic accessibility measure has been developed. The synthetic accessibility measure consists of 9 standardised components/values for both public and private (car) transport. The potential accessibility to the population is part of the synthetic accessibility sub-measure. The isochrones have been drawn in order to analyse the workplaces and secondary schools. Moreover, data concerning accessibility to the nearest kindergarten, primary school, hospital, cinema, shopping centre and indoor swimming pool have also been taken into consideration when calculating the synthetic measure. In the case of potential accessibility measures, it is usually the highest in the city centre. Obviously, the nearer a particular facility, the higher its accessibility measure is. The only disparities between the measures for public and private transport are observed in areas which are not covered by the public transportation network.

Private car transport or public transport? The study of daily accessibility in Szczecin

Private car transport or public transport? The study of daily accessibility in SzczecinThe article presents the results of public and private/car transport accessibility modelling, making it possible to compare journey times and two types of transport throughout the day and during rush hours. The public transport model is based on the GTFS data (General Transit Feed Specification), while the car model has been created using data on driving times derived from Google Maps® API. Both models presented in the article have been constructed for a specified period. The models for public and private transport count 5.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m in 15-minute intervals and represent 60 per cent of residents' travel during the working day. The analysis of the models mentioned above has allowed the comparison of the differences in accessibility and its deviations at different times of the day. The disparities revealed by the study have indicated that there are certain times of the day when public transport is competitive with private means of transport. The study focuses on analysing population living in areas inaccessible to public transport. During the day, public transport can compete with individual transport over two communication peaks: in the morning (between 7:00 and 8:30 a.m.) and in the afternoon (between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m.), but is still slower than a car. This spatial representation allows conclusions and recommendations to support low-carbon transport policies based on public transport and alternative travel options such as cycling plus public transport. The results show that many people live in areas that are obliged to use public transport, which, although slower than the car, can compete at peak times.

“…The provision of educational facilities is crucial to bringing education to the doorsteps of all [6] [7]. Access to services of general interest, including access to educational services at various levels of education, has been an issue analysed by researchers around the world in a variety of contexts [8]. In the Czech Republic, in spite of the professed value placed on education by national governments, struggles still occur regarding inequalities in access [9].…”

“…Researchers, depending on the purpose of their projects have proposed different approaches to it [19]. In general, potential accessibility is measured by the number of activities (opportunities) reachable within a certain distance, time or cost [8]. Consequently, this study analyses accessibility to secondary schools in parts of Benue State based on five accessibility parameters viz; distance, travel time, transportation cost, mode of transportation and service quality.…”

This research studied accessibility to secondary schools in some parts of Benue State. The objective of the study was to determine the level of accessibility to secondary school. The study adopted survey, field observation and measurement to obtain the needed data. The study adopted gravity model as the related theoretical framework. GIS and descriptive statistical techniques were employed to map, visualize and analyze the data. The result shows that accessibility to secondary school in the three Local Government Areas is generally low, though it varies between schools, within and between Local Government Areas. This depicts a very stressful schooling condition for the majority of students, and has far-reaching implications in terms of lack of skilled manpower, inadequate facilities and consequently low standards in the educational system. To ensure effective and valid decision-making, and maintain high standards in the system, it was recommended that equitable and systematic distribution of school facilities should be embraced. Furthermore, more schools should be established in the areas which currently have low accessibility to bridge the accessibility gap and encourage active participation and consistent attendance at schools among the students.
