Overview

sapmap takes the areas that a group identifies as important and combines them into a map of spatial access priorities (SAP)

This aggregate map is used in area-based planning exercises for identifying where important areas exist and measuring the impact if changes in access are made.

Common questions these maps can answer include:

• Which geographic areas are important to the group? The most important? The least important?

• Is area A of more value to the group than area B? How much more?

• If the use of a given area is changed, will people be impacted? How much of the groups value is within this area?
