visualizing job accessibility with GIS linthicum plan512 July 2006
who lives where? population available from 2000 Census tracts
who works where? job locations available by tract from 2000 CTPP
jobs/housing balance jobs to total population by Census tract
what does this data explain? job housing balance distribution density what doesn’t it explain? consideration of costs (travel time) access to jobs in other districts access to jobs by mode
O1 O2 O3 O4 what is job accessibility? accessibility – number of opportunities within a certain distance or travel time(1) Ai – accessibility of zone I Oj – opportunities at zone j dij – distance between zones λ – friction factor A1 (1) Hanson, Susan. “The Context of Urban Travel: Concepts and Recent Trends.” Geography of Urban Transportation, Third Edition, Susan Hanson and Genevieve Giuliano, Editors. New York: The Guilford Press. 2004. pp 4-7
how to calculate λ the interaction formula becomes plot/regress ln(I) vs ln(d) to calculate the slope λ All Modes λ = -0.404 Auto λ = -0.293 Non-Auto λ = -0.251
job accessibility – by all modes All Modes λ = -0.404
job accessibility – by automobile Auto λ = -0.293
job accessibility – by non-auto Non-Auto λ = -0.251
accessibility analysis shortcomings treats everyone in a tract as if they have the same mobility does not consider temporal variations such as peak / non-peak travel requires significant amounts of data does not distinguish between voluntary and necessary travel
