Accessibility of public services in Irbid, Jordan

Article Abstract:

A descriptive methodology is used to measure the accessibility of public facility locations in the city of Irbid, Jordan. The city was divided into 17 zones and a circular area representing maximum walking distance was drawn in each identified facility to facilitate analysis. The facilities considered in the analysis ranged from schools to police stations. Their nearness to public transport was considered as a main factor in rating location effectiveness. Using such a methodology, inefficiency in the provision of services was discovered, with certain zones getting more than enough attention while others being sorely neglected.
