Spatial accessibility and equity of playgrounds in Edmonton, Canada
Assessing spatial equity with respect to urban public amenity provision involves examining the association between amenity distribution and population need for amenities. Geographic Information Systems in coordination with local spatial autocorrelation, were used to investigate the association between neighbourhood accessibility to playgrounds and demographic and social need for playgrounds in Edmonton, while considering differences in playground…
Measuring Neighbourhood Spatial Accessibility to Urban Amenities
Neighbourhood spatial accessibility (NSA) refers to the ease with which residents of a given neighbourhood can reach amenities. NSA indicators have been used to inform urban policy issues, such as amenity provision and spatial equity. NSA measures are, however, susceptible to numerous methodological problems. We investigate one methodological issue, aggregation error, as it relates to the measurement of NSA. Aggregation error arises when, for the…
Aggregation Error Effects on the Discrete‐space P ‐median Model
The spatial analysis literature recognizes three sources of aggregation error, termed Source A, Source B, and Source C, which affect models relying on distance measurements between populations and facilities. We consider these effects with respect to aggregating from census enumeration areas to census tracts, on a popular location model. We identify a further source of aggregation error, which we dub Source D error, arising from the representatio…
Location‐Allocation Models for Control of Forest Fires by Air Tankers
Four air tanker location‐allocation models are considered as tools for suppression of forest fires. The models are tested and compared using forest fire data for Alberta. The results show that fire location patterns can vary considerably over the short term and that not responding to such variation by optimally relocating air tanker groups could be very costly in terms of losses to fire. We argue that an improved location‐allocation model can ser…
A location—allocation model maximizing consumers' welfare
Hodgson M. J. (1981) A location-allocation model maximizing consumers' welfare, Reg. Studies 15, 493–506. A gravity-type interaction model is incorporated into a location-allocation model, both to allocate patrons to facilities and to formulate a goal of consumers' welfare maximization. The location-allocation model is applied to locating varying numbers of motor vehicle licensing outlets of varying sizes in Edmonton, Canada. The optimal set of l…
