Abstract

Accessibility is a widely employed concept across a variety of disciplines to evaluate the degree to which individuals can reach a desired destination. Conventionally, accessibility is determined by the attractiveness of a destination and the associated travel cost to reach it. However, existing place-based accessibility measures do not differentiate between destinations accessible to individuals from a single demographic group and those accessible to individuals from diverse demographic groups. This hinders our ability to discern the encounter potential of different destinations. We address this gap by introducing the concept of co-accessibility to measure how accessible a given destination is to different individuals and demographic groups.
