Abstract
The success of transport policies is determined by among other things accessibility which affects the design of cities in many aspects. However, this research construes accessibility in terms of transport where it is defined as the convenience of reaching destinations. This study aims at giving an extensive examination into how different types of transport systems relate with peoples life quality and fairness in cities. With reference to a variety of disciplines, it examines how various social amenities can be accessed through different modes of transportation thereby impacting on peoples welfare and community equity. By examining a number of different aspects like Lorenz curve, Gini index, the study sheds light on discrepancies in accessibility, environmental justice and community cohesion. It also brings to light the intricate relationship that exists between different modes of transportation, urban planning and socio-economic considerations. In addition, the study introduces a novel methodology for assessing transportation quality of life (TQOL), with a focus on accessibility indicators. Furthermore, the study uses hedonic regression models to objectively evaluate its effectiveness compared to standard assessments. This study intends to identify pathways towards more equitable and sustainable transportation systems by studying case studies and policy frameworks. Keywords: Quality of life, hedonic regression, GIS platform, Bing map API, VBA.
