| The accessibility-planning approach, which focuses on planning for people and places, has been established as a useful instrument to analyse equity issues in transportation. Although academic literature has much focused on the analysis of motorised accessibility, there is a growing number of studies paying attention to non- motorised modes. That has triggered the development of several conceptual and methodological innovations on non-motorised accessibility measurement to major destinations such as e.g. healthcare, educational facilities, retail. However, theoretical- practical gaps still remain. Up to date, there is a lack of studies analysing how non- motorised accessibility varies between individuals, as well as the social and spatial equity effects of those variations. Furthermore, most of those studies do not have a whole view of non-motorised accessibility, which require the consideration of virtual accessibility based on information and communication technologies (ICTs). This PhD dissertation addresses those shortcomings, gaining new insights into the social and spatial effects of non-motorised accessibility variations (by walking and cycling) to retail, driven by individual preferences, socio-demographic characteristics of population, and the potential impact of ICTs. The city of Zaragoza, Spain provides the empirical focus. The PhD thesis is structured according to the following four specific objectives: Obj. 1 aims to design a conceptual framework to integrate retail activity and non-motorised accessibility. Obj. 2 explores how to operationalise non-motorised accessibility as a relative concept, identifying accessibility thresholds for different groups of population. Obj. 3 focuses on identifying and evaluating advantageous and disadvantageous accessibility places to retail for population groups. Finally, Obj. 4 evaluates the potential impact of e-shopping on walking accessibility to retail, projecting mid-term impacts (2030). | |
