Applicability of QOM Index to Mobility Evaluation of Local Public Transport Regeneration Plan

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: This study aims to build the concept of QOM (Quality of Mobility), and to suggest a useful method for evaluating QOM for the local public transport plan by an index. We propose the model in which QOM is evaluated by the Capability Approach, which has been put forward by Amartya Sen. In addition, present and future QOM was analyzed in Koshi City, and forecasted that the QOM level will decrease and inequality in QOM among districts will expand in the future. Therefore, we verify that some appropriate public transport regeneration policies can result increasing the QOM level and decreasing the inequality among districts in Koshi City.
