OBREGON BIOSCA, Saúl Antonio  and  ANGELES ESPINOSA, Marco Antonio. Methodological procedure to compute the accessibility in the peripheral areas of a metropolitan zone. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2018, vol.33, n.1, pp.111-147. ISSN 2448-6515.  https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v33i1.1740.

Accessibility is a key factor in transport planning, and the transport system impacts the life quality, being the study case the urban peripheries accessibility in a metropolitan zone. Due the results diversity, according to the accessibility indicators and inputs used, the research proposes a methodological procedure considering the separation and spatial interaction indicators, in order to analyze the accessibility by transport means (car and public bus), contrasting the results with trip generation rates. Considering the procedure and contrast, the results show that the spatial interaction approach describes better the accessibility by transport mean in the urban periphery.
