Accessibility To Nodes Of Interest: A Practical Application Of The Various Forms Of The Impedance Curves Of Two Border Regions

Summary/Abstract: The impedance is in the field of statistics – territorial, the greater or lesser difficulty of an area to be served/provided adequate infrastructure and related services, which are useful to improve the quality of residents. In the opposite direction, to a greater impedance is low attractiveness of the region to the establishment of new productive activities. The purpose of this research is to provide a comprehensive picture as possible of the existing methodologies for the development of the impedance, in relation to some border regions and providing practical applications based on the territories of Trentino Alto Adige and Friuli Venezia Giulia. The research highlights the main existing methods for determining accessibility (attractiveness) of land, according to their own infrastructures and related services. The analysis reveals the strengths and weaknesses, as well as the salient features of the equation used, producing a real benchmark between the different approaches, using from time to time as a function of impedance the logistic curve, the exponential and the linear form, in addition to providing the spatial behavior of the attractiveness in relation to regions bordering with foreign.
