Geographic Accessibility

Geographic accessibility refers to how easily people can reach services or locations in a given area. This can include hospitals, schools, parks, or public transport. Factors that influence accessibility include distance, transportation options, and physical barriers like rivers or highways. High geographic accessibility means that people can conveniently access essential services, contributing to better quality of life and equitable opportunities. Conversely, low accessibility can lead to challenges, as some individuals may struggle to reach the resources they need for health, education, and overall well-being.
