Andrew is a Senior Research Assistant with expertise in the areas of computer science, software development and GIS. Andrew has a BSc in Computer Games Development and an MSc in Computer Science at the University of South Wales. He is currently working towards a KESS funded PhD in Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The PhD research is also part funded by Sport Wales and based on enhancing our understanding of accessibility to sporting facilities in Wales through geospatial analysis. Andrew has been published in journals such as Transactions in GIS.

Andrew’s WISERD project, Inequalities, civic loss, and well-being, uses innovative methods, including app-based surveys of spatial mobility and data linkages, to compare place-based and individual measures of accessibility, and explores how changing patterns of civic loss and gain relate to measures of health and well-being.

Andrew’s general research interests are within the development of spatial technologies and the application of Geographic Information Science (GIS), spatial accessibility and web-GIS.

Andrew’s current research projects include; GIS-based analysis in accessibility modelling; Development of open-source solutions for multi-modal accessibility; Applications of GIS in sports geography; Monitoring post COVID-19 impacts on services (facilities such as bank closures; residential care homes; changes in public transport provision); advancements to existing accessibility models – multi-modal approaches to incorporate private and public modes of transport within accessibility measures.

Spatial and temporal access to warm spaces during the winter of 2022/2023

It is estimated that over half a million people visited one network of ‘warm rooms’ during the winter of 2022 in the UK, a figure that may rise to 2.5 million people if other networks are considered. As well as offering a means to try to limit exposure to cold temperatures and reduce household energy costs,…

Quantifying disparities in access to recreational opportunities by alternative modes of transport

The paper draws upon open-source technologies to present methods of incorporating multiple travel modes into GIS analyses of cumulative opportunity and proximity-based metrics of accessibility. Two case studies are undertaken. The first uses isochrone analysis to evaluate national access to sport facilities expected to appeal to a broad range of ages and abilities. Predictably, urban…

Investigating the impact of bank branch closures on access to financial services in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic

There is a longstanding policy interest in understanding the impacts of changes in access to public and private services in rural areas. To date much of the empirical analysis concerning changing patterns of accessibility has been predicated on assumptions regarding the mode of transport used to access such facilities. The availability of new and open…

Combining Temporal and Multi-Modal Approaches to Better Measure Accessibility to Banking Services

The UK, as elsewhere, has seen an accelerating trend of bank branch closures and reduced opening hours since the early 2000s. The reasons given by the banks are well rehearsed, but the impact assessments they provide to justify such programs and signpost alternatives have been widely criticized as being inadequate. This is particularly so for…

Computing geographical access to services: The design of a client–server solution that incorporates multiple transport modes

Transactions in GIS, 25(4) pp 1849-1867 This study describes the design and implementation of a web‐based infrastructure built on open‐source components to enable the computation of accessibility scores. It can be adapted to any form of service provision that is represented as geo‐located points. The solution aims to extend previous attempts to measure and analyse…

The Design and Development of a client-server based tool to Compute Accessibility to Sporting Facilities in Wales

Presented by the authors at GIS Research UK Conference 2020 This paper draws on a new database of gymnastics facilities, the use of Two-Step Floating Catchment Area (E2SFCA) techniques, to measure potential accessibility for both private and public transport networks using a web-based tool to collect the network distances for the transport. Plans to incorporate…

Chwarae teg: gallai technegau newydd helpu i gynllunio darpariaeth cyfleusterau hamdden er mwyn gwella cyfranogiad

26 Ebrill 2023 | Andrew Price, Gary Higgs, Mitch Langford

Mae ein hastudiaethau blaenorol sy’n archwilio’r amrywiad mewn mynediad at gyfleusterau chwaraeon mewn perthynas â phatrymau economaidd-gymdeithasol yng Nghymru wedi’u seilio ar dybiaeth mai teithio preifat yw’r dull trafnidiaeth a ddefnyddir. Rydym bellach yn cynnwys pellteroedd ac amseroedd teithio ar gyfer dulliau trafnidiaeth eraill fel rhan o’n cyfrifiadau hygyrchedd. Mae’r rhain yn deillio o archwiliad…

Pa mor bell allwch chi deithio o ble rydych chi’n byw ar wahanol ddulliau teithio? Mae Deall Lleoedd Cymru nawr yn dangos i chi

Mae’n debyg nad yw’n syndod clywed y gallwch deithio ymhellach mewn llai o amser wrth deithio ar drafnidiaeth breifat, megis mewn car, nag ar drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus gan ddefnyddio bws neu drên. Fodd bynnag, a ydych chi erioed wedi meddwl sut olwg sydd ar y gwahaniaeth hwn yn weledol ar gyfer y lle rydych chi’n byw…

Deprived areas hit hardest by changes in access to bus services during the pandemic

8 Ebrill 2022 | Andrew Price, Gary Higgs, Mitch Langford

Public transport was severely impacted during COVID-19 as people’s daily mobility patterns changed. This led to a substantial drop in demand as many workers were instructed to work from home and social distancing measures were introduced on existing services. Department for Transport statistics show a decline from 91 to 26 million passenger journeys on local…
