Abstract

Researchers and decision-makers are increasingly interested in assessing the impacts of urban design and transportation planning on local accessibility. The used accessibility measures present several issues and limitations, namely: lack of understanding of accessibility concepts and technical and computational complexity. In this paper, we present a new method to measure local accessibility. In this method, we use the fuzzy logic approach. Our proposed method will measure local accessibility according to the three urban characteristics, i.e., activity density, land use mix, and street design. This work has confirmed that accessibility is an issue of urban design. In particular, it has shown that the combination of two urban characteristics, namely activity density, and land use mix, is very determinant for accessibility. This work can serve as a helpful tool for policymakers to understand and capture the interactions between accessibility, land use, and travel behaviour.
