ScopeQuestionsWhat vacant land locations are most suitable to match the locational preferences of young urban professionals for residence in one person household houses?

What are the spatial characteristics of the vacant land areas? What factors determine the locational preferences for the

residence of young urban professionals? What are the most suitable vacant land locations for one

person household houses? ObjectiveCreate a dynamic tool that helps to determine the suitability of residential

locations to match preferences of young urban professionals in Amsterdam.

• Accessibility analysis1. Create road network & public transport

network2. Create service areas3. Count facilities4. Apply service area weights

• Modal split per district• travel time decay weights

• service area ranges (time) • Mode (walk, bike, car, public transport)• criterion

Applications● Different ranges● Different weights● Different / more input points

● e.g.: pc6 centroids● Individual suitability● Other cities possible with little adjustments

ConclusionWhat vacant land locations are most suitable to match the locational preferences of young urban professionals for residence in Heijmans One houses?

The most suitable vacant land lies in the ‘West’ district, near the city centre. Highly suitable locations are located in Amsterdam South Due to high accessibility towards facilities, a favourable composition

of population and high public safety

Confirmed literature that the technical sub group has a higher preference for suburban locations

Created a useful decision support tool for modelling residential suitability for young urban professionals
