Integrating dispersal proxies in ecological and environmental research in the freshwater realm (2017, background): “A schematic figure of transport geographic accessibility measures (Huff 1963; Kwan 1998; Rietveld and Bruinsma 1998; Páez et al. 2012) and their potential applicability as ecological dispersal proxies.”
The impacts of high-speed rail extensions on accessibility and spatial equity changes in South Korea from 2004 to 2018 (2015, background): “The concept of accessibility pursues practical applications in policy-making processes, yet the measurement of accessibility is more central to transportation research (Páez et al., 2012).”
Accessibility and Transit-Oriented Development in European metropolitan areas (2015, critical): “The assumption of a constant commuting travel time in contrast with much individual variation in reality might impair the validity of our accessibility analysis (Paez et al., 2012).”
Forty years of modelling rapid transit’s land value uplift in North America: moving beyond the tip of the iceberg (2016, background): “A broader and more behaviourally relevant definition of accessibility is the potential for reaching spatially distributed opportunities from a particular location while considering the difficulty involved in travelling to them (Páez et al., 2012).”
Civil rights guidance and equity analysis methods for regional transportation plans: a critical review of literature and practice (2013, background): “Páez et al. (2010, 2012) demonstrate how such metrics can be calculated and mapped for particular disadvantaged groups, highlighting parts of the region with relatively inferior transportation outcomes.”
The influence of the impedance function on gravity-based pedestrian accessibility measures: A comparative analysis (2017, methodology): “There are two main methods to determine the impedance function for pedestrian accessibility, leading to a distinction between normative and positive accessibility (Páez et al., 2012).”
Relationship between freight accessibility and logistics employment in US counties (2013, background): “Two other commonly used accessibility measures are the cumulative opportunity and random utility measures (Handy and Niemeier, 1997, Páez et al. 2012).”
