Ensuring equal access to goods and services is crucial for sustainable development, with accessibility recognized as a fundamental human right. Traditionally linked to physical mobility and spatial proximity, accessibility has evolved with digital technologies. This has led to the concept of Triple Access Planning (TAP), which integrates physical mobility, spatial proximity and digital connectivity to address current transitions (ecological, digital, demographic). This study assesses how the digital transition redefines the accessibility of local communities to essential services, analyzing the relationships between physical accessibility and digital connectivity, taking the Autonomous Region of Sardinia as a case study.

Abstract

Ensuring equal access to goods and services is crucial for sustainable development, with accessibility recognized as a fundamental human right. Traditionally linked to physical mobility and spatial proximity, accessibility has evolved with digital technologies. This has led to the concept of Triple Access Planning (TAP), which integrates physical mobility, spatial proximity and digital connectivity to address current transitions (ecological, digital, demographic). This study assesses how the digital transition redefines the accessibility of local communities to essential services, analyzing the relationships between physical accessibility and digital connectivity, taking the Autonomous Region of Sardinia as a case study.
