Urban Public Transport Accessibility in Syria, Estimated by Walking Distance

Estimated share of urban population who can access a public transport stop within a walking distance of 500 meters for low capacity systems or 1000 meters for high capacity systems along the street network. The dataset was produced by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) Data and Analytics Section and was last updated on 2026 05 06.

Use Cases

• Assess urban public transport network coverage based on walking distance thresholds.
• Model population access to transit infrastructure for equity and planning studies.
• Compare accessibility metrics between low and high capacity public transport systems.

Strengths

• Data is produced by a United Nations agency (UN-Habitat), suggesting an authoritative source.
• Specific walking distance thresholds (500m and 1000m) are defined for analysis.
• Last updated date is precisely recorded as 2026-05-06 22:25:54.654716.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description is limited; actual data quality and methodology require manual inspection.
