Dostępność przestrzenna wybranych usług wokół łódzkich stadionów piłkarskich w oparciu o ideę miasta 15-minutowego

One of the main problems and challenges of today’s cities is to reduce individual motorised transport and ensure good pedestrian accessibility. New urban concepts, such as the 15-minute city concept related to the spatial accessibility of services around people’s places of residence, are an attempt to respond to those challenges. The purpose of the article is to assess the spatial accessibility of selected services around two football stadiums in Łódź. In the article, the main assumptions of the 15-minute city concept were transferred from the point of view of a city resident to that of a tourist and a football fan. Indeed, modern stadiums are meeting venues for sports, cultural and business events, and sports tourism is an increasingly popular type of tourist activity. The accessibility areas of the stadiums were determined using the analysis tool in ArcGIS Online, while the service data were obtained from the Database of Topographic Objects (BDOT10k). Final accessibility of services was determined using a cumulative method. The accessibility areas of the two stadiums differ in shape, size and service facilities. The main spatial determinants of these areas are railroad tracks and major transport arteries. The area designated around the LKS stadium is larger and more accessible in terms of selected services, whereas the Widzew stadium has poorer access to all services.
