Abstract
This paper describes the use of geo-information technology in a study to determine accessibility to work places using public transport provided by Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Service in the city of Ahmedabad, India. The measures used to determine the accessibility levels were developed using the constraint-based approach based on Hägerstrands theory in time geography. The model had three distinct components viz. individual characteristics, land use (base location, activity locations) and transport network to determine the accessibility levels. A land use model was developed to store attributes and data related to individuals and activities and a public transport model was developed determine and store travel time between sets of land use clusters. The computed and stored values in the land use and public transport models were then used as an input in the model to determine individual accessibility levels.
