Rural Accessibility refers to the degree to which remote or sparsely populated areas are connected to essential services, economic opportunities, and social infrastructure through transportation networks. It encompasses both physical infrastructure, such as roads and public transport, and systemic factors like affordability, reliability, and inclusivity. Unlike urban accessibility, which often benefits from dense networks and economies of scale, rural accessibility faces unique challenges due to low population density, geographical barriers, and limited financial resources.
