“…In the context of this research, non-motorised accessibility refers to the physical capacity to reach retail activity by both walking and bicycling. While a wide range of methods are used to measure nonmotorised accessibility (Clarke et al, 2002;Jaskiewicz et al, 2016;Kang, 2015;Lee and Hong, 2013;Negron-Poblete et al, 2014;Vale et al, 2015), here the focus is on place-based and centrality approaches.…”

While adequate integration of land use and transport is seen as crucial for achieving sustainable outcomes, the reciprocal interconnection between retail activity and non-motorised accessibility is yet to be adequately examined. To address this gap, this paper proposes the concept of Retail Mobility Environment (RME) and develops a methodological process for identifying and mapping RMEs, using the city of Zaragoza, Spain, as a case study. The concept of RME is developed through three methodological phases: (i) definition of non-motorised Accessibility Zones (AZs), using three indicators (walking accessibility, bicycling accessibility, betweenness); (ii) definition of Retail Zones (RZs), also using three indicators (retail density, retail diversity, retail contiguity); and (iii) definition of RMEs, where both retail activity and non-motorised indicators were weighted and combined using multi-criteria analysis. In total, four RMEs were identified and mapped: short-distance environments, motorised environments , non-motorised environments, and long-distance environments. The paper concludes with a discussion on the need to unravel the relationships between retail activity and non-motorised accessibility, in order to reach sustainable planning goals, as well as the potential usefulness of RMEs for transport policy-making.

“…The value has a range from 0 to 1. The closer to 0, the simpler and monotonous the land-use, whereas a value closer to 1 represents a mixed land-use (Kang, 2015). The land-use entropy value is calculated based on the following formula Equation 3:…”

“…Walking behaviour has increasingly been receiving attention in recent studies since walking is not only decreasing the car dependency (Gilderbloom et al 2015), but also yields advantages towards keeping the city sustainable and enhancing the urban inhabitants' physical health (Carlson et al 2015;Kang, 2015). Several recent studies employ simulation approaches and new technologies to understand pedestrian walking behaviour and to capture the pedestrian streams (Gehrke & Clifton 2017;Hussein & Sayed 2017;Yin & Wang 2016;Xie & Wong 2015;Nurul Habib et al 2014).…”

Investigating Pedestrian Walkability using a Multitude of Seoul Data Sources Currently walking is a multidisciplinary and emerging point of attention for urban sustainability and for ensuring the quality of pedestrian environments. In order to understand pedestrian behaviour, walkability researches estimate the factors which affect the level of pedestrian satisfaction. Past studies focused on the relationship between environmental factors and pedestrian behavioural outcomes. In this study, we developed pedestrian satisfaction multinomial logit models using various datasets, examining the relative impact of five differently themed sets of attributes: personal, walk-facilities, land-use, pedestrian volumes, and weather-related variables. The results show that the personal variability attributes were selected as most significant. We investigated effects of personal variability, such as the spatial cognition level and travel purpose, and detailed effects of environmental features. In addition, crowdedness, land-use types, and residential information were investigated. The results from this study offer contributions by providing evidence of the importance of personal and contextual variables in influencing the pedestrian walkability.

“…(Bennison, 2010). Although, studies which evaluates the centrality of nodes, representing settlements or inner points of settlements are not new (Kang, 2015) these researches are part of a continuously developing mainstream not just by their results but also with their research methodology (Hellerik et all., 2019).…”

A Comparative Analysis Through Time and Space of Centrality’s Role in County Centers’ Spatial Position for Several Counties in Romania

The aim of the study was to measure the importance of county centers in terms of central positioning and accessibility. The actual county centers have been chosen not only based on their central position but also based on other reasons such as their cultural, traditional and especially historical importance. With all these through time they should enforce their central position also in terms of accessibilityas some administration procedures can be managed just in these citiesand to became truly the centers of their counties. We want to check if the actual county centers fulfill these considerations, how strong is these fulfillments and in case of failure which cities could take their places. We also made some comparisons with former administrative organizations at the beginning of the 20 th century before car traffic appeared.
