Abstract
A circuit-based measure of a household’s locational accessibility to a variety of urban land uses is presented, using the workplaces of household members to derive an extended measure of locational benefit. The approach is then used to look at the other side of the problem: the implications for the accessibility of public and private facilities to the population of households they serve. Removing destinations from the system may affect the frequency of visits to other destinations both positively or negatively, in the latter case through the loss of circuitous travel options.
