Abstract

Representing socio-spatial inequalities in the access to jobs opportunities involves challenges in incorporating the complexity of the land-use and transport subsystems’ elements related to this phenomenon. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to compare representations of this problematic context in Fortaleza using different metrics of accessibility. Such a comparison considered four types of indicators: average travel time to opportunities, cumulative opportunities measure, balancing time and logsum. The four resulting representations were compared in respect to the spatial pattern of accessibility, to the distribution of accessibility levels among individuals, and the average values and their variability by region. The results indicated that three of the four indicators represented similar patterns regarding the analyzed aspects. The balancing time indicator, however, by incorporating competition in its formulation, represented distinct patterns, spatially as well as among individuals and regions.
