Abstract

In this paper the concept of operationalizing sustainable development in accessibility planning for developing cities is discussed. Internalization of this concept requires a validated design of a practical methodology for planners and other professionals to determine whether a set of proposed interventions contributes to achieving sustainable accessibility in a city. A sustainable level of accessibility in a city is the level that is compatible with the desirable form, quality of life and environmental integrity. This paper starts with discussing the categorization and conceptualization of the proposed concept. A short overview on current indicators of mobility and accessibility is followed by an introduction in a proposed, process-type, of mobility and accessibility measure, introducing a supply variable named transported entities productive capacity, i.e. the capacity or ability of the transportation network to accommodate travel by a mode. The paper ends with an introductory example on the use of the proposed indicator of
sustainable accessibility.
