Scope
Does the option affect equal access to services and goods?[1]
Definition
This question refers to a relevant dimension of social inclusion such as the ability of the population to gain access to services, goods and facilities. This relates to the proximity of services and facilities to the locations where people live and work, the ease with which those services and facilities can be accessed, as well as the length and convenience of the services' opening hours. The geographical and socio-economic variation is important as those with continuous access to a car will have a greater access to facilities than those who have to rely on public transport or walking. This question covers a range of public and other services, such as health, education and social services, along with emergency services, public transport, utilities and other basic services, such as banking, food and housing. In each case the coverage, both geographical and socio-economic, is important, as is the quality of the service, which could be defined in terms of efficiency or value for money.[1]
