     Destination access

    ×
    Binary indicators of destination access were based on current urban policies or the literature if urban planning policies did not exist. While binary indicators are a natural way to express whether a policy has been achieved (or not), it is not intuitive that, for example, living within 390m from a bus stop gives a person full benefit of this proximity while living at 410m the resident receives zero benefit. This binary threshold can be referred to as a 'hard threshold', in contrast to 'soft threshold' indicators calculated using a logistic decay function yielding for each destination type a continuous access score ranging from 0 to 1.

    Percentiles

    ×

    Percentile scores enable a comparison of a selected area to other results in the AUO and influence the calculation of deciles shown in the maps. These percentiles can be presented at 3 different levels.

    • National level percentiles provide a comparison of the selected area, to all cities included in the AUO (at the same level of geography).
    • City level percentiles provide a comparison of the selected area to all areas included in the relevant major city.
    • Local Government level percentiles provide a comparison of the selected area to all areas included in the relevant Local Government Area.
