A Study on Indicator of Accessibility in Regional Transportation (Report No.107)
Summary
Transportation is essential to the movement for people, and it is the foundation
of various activities in daily life. In particular, for the people who
is not available of using cars, the movement to various bases, such as
medical care, shopping, and the administration services, in the everyday
life, public transport is an essential means.
On the other hand, by the decrease of the users caused by factors such
as the progress of otorization, depopulation, aging and declining populations,
there are situations such as the abolition of public transport routes and
reduction in the number of runs. Therefore the circumstances surrounding
the public transport are becoming more severe.
Therefore, in order to promote the activation of regional transportation
in particular, efforts have been promoted and supported by national and
local governments, as well as ingenuity by transport operators. However,
in these efforts, individual case factors are rather strong. As for assessment
measures and measures deployed nationwide, there are needs for indicators
and evaluation methods that can be compared, in a unified overview of the
status of local public transportation in Japan.
For more information about creating an accessibility indicators to the
destination from the place of departure, perform the activities required
for daily living care, shopping, and government, of the people, we have
studied while utilizing available information at the same level as in the
nation. We have been working on for carrying out the proposed analysis
method that utilizes the accessibility indicators.
