KEY CONSIDERATIONS

Geographic accessibility studies can assist your department to determine the optimum provisioning and
location of various types and sizes of service points to meet the population demand within a defined
area, taking into account a wide range of factors, different sets of data and contextual spatial information.
The overall intention is to achieve a more equitable distribution of service points.

A review should be done before you conduct the study to assist you in scoping and defining the terms of
reference for your accessibility study. Among others, you should consider:

 The broader context, overall aims and objectives of the study, types of deliverables and the nature of
the recommendations that need to be produced.

 The various optional approaches, methodologies and tools to conduct your geographic accessibility
study. These tools can be used on their own or in different combinations. You can consult experts to
assist you in determining the most suitable approaches and software tools that you can use.

 The availability, currency (date), completeness and suitability of the various datasets that you will
require to conduct the study.

 The most relevant contextual information, including government spatial planning frameworks that
could influence decision-making and planning about where and how service point infrastructure of
your department should be established.
