Moreover, index, shimbel associated number, average shortest path length have also been used categorically understanding magnitude accessibility. result shows regional imbalances in terms Villages are located central position (EBM) most accessible. However, distant which far EBM having poor efficiency. Therefore it would suggest that there need improve those future development region.
