Document Summary
The formula without the p means that a is independent of the variables between people (basically all people are considered equal) We know though that the levels of mobility vary for different people. For instance there are differences in movement for elderly people vs young people and based on gender (men may move more than women) The summation for the accessibility equation is a combination of the landscape (w) and the cost (c) of movement from i to j. These functions are left in just a generic form because this allows us the exibility to de ne them as we see t for speci c applications. G is a binary function that takes a value of 1 or 0. 1 if w at j is of class k (this could be a shopping mall). Therefore anything that is not a shopping center like a library would be given a value of 0 and it vanishes from out calculation.
