Abstract/Summary
Conventional wisdom tells us that accessibility enables a person to have access to public facilities, however, the event of negative social problems such as crime, causes the facilities inaccessible to the urban commuters. The recent upsurge of crime in metropolitan cities suggests critical investigation on how location-based assessments of accessibility allows crime to arise. Data from an urban center in Metro Manila are obtained from the Community Based Monitoring System (CBMS). Gravity-Based Model is used in computing for accessibility indicates of schools, market, and police precincts. A cross-sectional regression is formulated to measure the impact of accessibility, to crime incidence. The study's hypothesis is that accessibility and criminal activity are collected, however the gravity in which accessibility affects the later depends on the available opportunities per facility and the impedance constraint in accessing the facility.
