Descrição

In most of the land-use planning and management processes, location analysis is present and often plays a major role. Accessibility models were developed by many authors as a way to evaluate how easy or difficult can be to link origins and destinations, adopting different formulations. In this paper, a multicriteria approach for the evaluation of accessibility is presented. The model was developed and implemented within a GIS context and applied to three different typologies of problems: general accessibility evaluation; accessibility evaluation in the context of industrial location; and accessibility evaluation of a University campus.
