A NORMATIVE EVALUATION MODEL FOR SELECTING LOCAL TRANSPORT SERVICE BASED ON THE LEVEL OF ACTIVITY OPPORTUNITY

Abstract

In planning local transport plan, it is essential that the local community select a combination of secured activity opportunity supported by local transport and the burden of operation cost to maintain the service. This study aims to develop a model to select the best planning alternative, which secure the basic level of activity opportunity to the resident of the lowest level of activity opportunity. The model consists of two part. The first part draws the capability frontier from budget constraints and functions of functioning, and the second part selects the best alternative based on social relation function and Rawls' difference principle. Numerical examples show that the model successfully select the best alternative under the designated conditions.
