Services of general interest (SGI) are treated as a key factor in the process of economic, social and territorial cohesion by EU policy. The importance of connectivity and accessibility of living and working places and especially of places of production to markets as well as accessibility for citizens' well-being and management of every day live is object of different studies. But comparative studies on accessibility of SGI across European countries as well as on different types of services are missing. This paper undertakes a first international and comparative study of the accessibility of the population to different services of general interest on a raster cell based distance-to-nearest-provider analysis with GIS software. The accessibility of eight SGI of low, medium and high centrality within five case study areas of different settlement structures in five different EU countries is explored. The paper concludes with some policy recommendations for further SGI supply. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
