Description

The indicator can be defined as the average distance between the main entry to a natural area (park, wood, etc.) and urban centres/train station/public transportation.

The implementation of the Design Scenario can reduce the average distance of natural resources from urban centres/trains stations/public transportation. The more the Design Scenarios will contribute to reduce this distance, the more effective will be the benefits in terms of quality of life for the community.

Calculation methods

• The indicator is equal to the average road network distance between the main entry to the natural areas (park, wood, etc.) and urban centres/train station/public transportation. Common GIS software tools allow finding the shortest route to a given location along a network of transportation routes. If the Design Scenario introduces new roads, the indicator will be calculated considering the road network of the Baseline Scenario upgraded with these new roads
