Mapping Urban Accessibility in Data Scarce Contexts Using Space Syntax and Location-Based Methods

Data scarcity is still a common barrier to adequately understanding urban access in Global South countries. Widely used location-based methods address the traditional definition of accessibility as the easiness to reach land-uses by means of available mobility modes. Space Syntax instead analyses ac...

Data scarcity is still a common barrier to adequately understanding urban access in Global South countries. Widely used location-based methods address the traditional definition of accessibility as the easiness to reach land-uses by means of available mobility modes.

However, the interpretation of its outputs is limited toits own theory. Knowledgeismissing onhow suchmetricsare comparableto the metrics produced by location-based methods. The objective of the research was to compare both approaches for mapping urban accessibility in two cities in Guatemala.
