Abstract

This paper examines a method for assessing spatial inequality through access to opportunities and urban services based on modeling an intermodal graph of accessibility of urban areas. The goal is to obtain ratings on the difference in physical access to services and opportunities on public transport by social groups. This is done by collecting data on the city’s residential areas and urban amenities that serve the functions of education, health, sports, and leisure. Calculation of travel time by public transport to the nearest service of each type is carried out using an intermodal graph. The result of the work is an assessment of the accessibility of services in terms of travel time, compared with urban planning standards.
