In this talk Albin Reinhardt presents his qualitative case study examining how the concept of accessibility is interpreted by strategic urban planners in the two suburban municipalities of Botkyrka and Huddinge and how it is experienced by a group of "low-skilled" workers in an area where there are identified shortcomings in traffic planning.
In his thesis Albin Reinhardt studies how this group experiences accessibility in their daily commute before and after testing a Demand-Responsive Transport service. Thus, the study addresses different perspectives on the potential of Demand-Responsive Transport services, to increase accessibility in areas where there are challenges in traffic planning. The thesis is centered on the concept of accessibility and includes two perspectives - that of strategic urban planners, and an individual perspective of citizens.
