QR code

Potential accessibility indicator measures the potential amount of interactions one may have at different points in space. Crucial are the amount of potential interaction destinations, which in the presented indicator is observed as number of people in destination zones, and the degree of geographic separation, which in the presented indicator is observed by travel times. The level of detail of this indicator is per NUTS0 and NUTS2.
