Accessibility and Attractiveness. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 252
The aim of this study was to analyze the importance
of accessibility and attractiveness as two
determinants for shopping and leisure time activities
in the central city of Christchurch. The context is
derived from consideration of divergent exogenous
factors associated with selected cities in Germany
and from the change of attitudes towards shopping and
leisure time activities in modern societies.
An international literature review was compiled to
investigate the reasons leading to this development.
The factors and measurements were further analysed to
provide a frame for the case study. The objective
measurable situation as well as behaviors and
attitudes of central city visitors had to be surveyed.
The study consequently was able to provide data on
the situation related to accessibility patterns and
attractiveness factors for both the real situation
and the assessment of the same by the visitors to it.
Comparing the results of both approaches, differences
or correspondences occurred that led to further
conclusions and potential measures.
The book is addressed to decision makers and experts
who are confronted with urban and traffic planning
issues in cities.
