Can street segments indexed for accessibility form the basis for housing submarket delineation

摘要: AbstractWe test an approach to spatial housing submarket delineation using street segment as the unit and finely grained measures of accessibility derived from network analysis. The underlying idea is that connectivity captures fine variations in homebuyers’ preferences for location. advantage it spatially grained; uses segment, intuitively most fundamental market analysis; allows use statistical tests optimize within-submarket similarities, identifying groups segments with similar features; avoids predefined arbitrary geographic boundaries usually used delineation; increases variability information delineation, being principal determinant price; normalized at different scale...
