Abstract

The current paper analysis the differences in accessibility categories at the household level and by lifecycle changes by using the Structural Accessibility Layer. Results are evaluated from spatial, numerical and qualitative perspectives. Main findings show differences in residential preference by a single‐person household, couple without children and households with children for different potential accessibility categories. This paper provides evidence that external factors influence the population to move from public transport into car‐based mobility. Finally, we observe areas categorized as suitable for both walking and public transport mobility presenting low population density and residential development of those areas is suggested. El presente artículo utiliza la Capa de Accesibilidad Estructural para analizar las diferencias en las categorías de accesibilidad a nivel de hogar y según los cambios en el ciclo de vida. Los resultados se evalúan desde una perspectiva espacial, numérica y cualitativa. Los principales hallazgos muestran diferencias en las preferencias residenciales para un hogar unipersonal, para una pareja sin hijos y para hogares con hijos respecto a diferentes categorías potenciales de accesibilidad. Este artículo aporta pruebas de que existen factores externos que influyen en que la población deje el transporte público en favor de la movilidad basada en el automóvil. Por último, se observan áreas categorizadas como aptas tanto para la movilidad a pie como para el transporte público, que presentan una baja densidad de población y se sugiere el desarrollo residencial de dichas áreas. 本稿では、アクセシビリティのカテゴリーの違いを世帯レベルで、またライフサイクルの変化ごとに、Structural Accessibility Layerを用いて分析する。空間的、数値的、定性的な観点から、その結果を評価する。主な知見から、居住地の選好における、潜在的なアクセシビリティのカテゴリーの優先性が、単身世帯、子供のいない夫婦の世帯、子供のいる世帯によって異なることが示される。本稿では、外的要因により住民が公共交通機関から自家用車による移動へ移行するエビデンスを提示する。最後に、人口密度が低く、徒歩と公共交通機関の両方のよる移動に適しているカテゴリーの地域を観察すると、その地域の宅地開発が示唆される。
