Abstract
Since transport is derived demand, it is important to evaluate how easy to obtain activities by using public transport. We have built the accessibility index which shows the acquisition level of the opportunity of activity.
The index is supposed that everyone can use public transport service. Therefore, the index is not able to explain that people who have restrictions in physical function cannot obtain the opportunity of activity sufficiently. Then, we integrated the index of the ease of public transport use and the research which evaluated the influence of a physical function on a walk of a slope, and we developed a new index that evaluated the ease of acquisition of the opportunity of activity considered physical function. And we carried out the case study in the steep area, and showed the usefulness of the new index.
