Abstract
It has been difficult to conduct a national survey on the population with limited access to shopping
facilities (PLA) using the geographic location data of shopping facilities. Yakushiji and Takahashi (2012) proposed a method to estimate PLA, using the mesh statistics. Although this method made it possible to estimate PLA without the geographic location data, high performance computational environment was required. This paper proposed the simple model using mesh statistics and the PC level of the computing environment to estimate PLA. Using real data of Hokkaido area, it was verified that the calculation accuracy of the proposed model was comparable to the method of Yakushiji and Takahashi (2012).
