term:

accessibility

theme: Aims

definition:

"Accessibility refers to the ease of reaching destinations.
Accessibility depends upon the extension and quality of transport infrastructure and services. People living in places that are highly accessible can reach many destinations quickly, while people in inaccessible places can reach fewer places in the same amount of time. The level of accessibility is a very important factor for territorial development, especially in the present context of globalisation."
