Abstract
Territorial accessibility analysis is a crucial component of urban planning, enabling decision-makers to determine new locations for urban infrastructure facilities to enhance residents' quality of life. The objective of this paper is to propose a methodology for performing territorial accessibility analysis that integrates data analysis techniques, such as clustering, with tools like isochronous curves and percentage ogive graphs. This methodology is evaluated through a case study in Villavicencio, Colombia. Results indicate that the proposed methodology can accurately assess territorial accessibility and, in the case study, recommend investments in health and firefighting services.
期刊介绍:
GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites is a scientific publication, with an international status. The Journal is issued under the aegis of the University of Oradea, Department of Geography, Tourism and Territorial Planning, Territorial Studies and Analysis Centre (Romania) and the Academy of Physical Education and Sports from Gdańsk, Faculty of Tourism and Recreation (Poland). At the initiative of an international group of specialists, based on an editorial and scientific committee with a wide international coverage, including leading figures in the field, in 2008 was published the first English issue of the GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites. The printable format (2-3 issues per year) is supported by the on-line version. The journal aims to publish relevant contributions in tourism, geosites and other areas whose analysis is related to these fields, standing out through originality and scientific contribution to the knowledge and development of this area. An important objective is to promote academic and applied research based on interdisciplinarity with a complex local and global approach.
