Call For Participation
We are particularly interested in presentations that will discuss issues relating to:
* Advancing the methods of 2SFCA family and proposing novel new methodologies
* Measuring inequity of urban (or rural) infrastructure
* Uncertainty in spatial accessibility measures
* Reproducibility and replicability of spatial accessibility
* Data- and computation- intensive spatial accessibility measures
Description:
Spatial accessibility refers to the extent people can utilize goods and services of interest. Scholars across disciplines often analyze the dynamic relationships between supply and demand across space and time through the Two-Step Floating Catchment Area (2SFCA) family of methods and novel new methods like the Rational Agent Access Model (RAAM). These methods have been widely applied to economics, geography, public health, social science, and etc.
There are many remaining challenges and opportunities to accurately measuring spatial accessibility. Place-based spatial accessibility methods may struggle to capture the complexity of heterogeneous populations. Geospatial big data require new techniques to unlock novel insights. Dynamic changes in urban environments spur the need to integrate time-dependent phenomena. Through this session, we aim to seek challenges that the current methodology faces and potential outcomes with outstanding scholars across various domains, including but not limited to Geography, Geographic Information Science and Systems, and Urban Planning.
