Defining transport disadvantage in Perth: early findings

Research output: Contribution to conferenceAbstractpeer-review

Abstract

The provision of transport services and infrastructure to access employment, education, medical/health services, shopping and social activities is integral to enabling members of the community to meet their economic, social, cultural and health needs. Access to a wide range of opportunities contributes to economic growth and promotes better wellbeing. Transport is an essential service to connect people to opportunities, enhancing social connectivity and addressing social exclusion. Transport disadvantage is a complex multidimensional concept relating to lack of access. This bridged paper aims to present preliminary findings of the project entitled “Identifying opportunities to address transport disadvantage in Perth” which aims to identify and apply locally relevant indicators to estimate the extent, spatial distribution and nature of transport disadvantage in Greater Perth. It will present the research approach, key findings of the literature review and preliminary findings of the spatial analysis (to date)
