Web maps about geographical accessibility of official sports facilities now available for Helsinki Metropolitan Region

We have now published online also our second set of research outputs – web maps about geographical accessibility of official sports facilities now available for Helsinki Metropolitan Region. We published maps for city of Jyväskylä earlier (see a news post).

One of the aims in YLLI-project (Equality in suburban physical activity environments) (part of the Lähiöohjelma 2020-2022 programme to promote suburbans) is to analyse the geographical accessibility of sport facilities. Maps of geographical accessibility (travel times) for official and built sports facilities are now available for Helsinki Metropolitan Region in the project’s web pages. The maps show the travel-time based potential accessibility of different types of sport facilities. The calculations have been carried out separately for four different travel modes: walking, cycling, via public transportation, and driving (private car). The sport facilities are retrieved from Lipas database during spring 2021.
