DESCRIPTION:The UK national walking organisation\, Ramblers\, are working t
 o improve the public rights of way network\, and in particular improve acc
 ess to it for people who are less advantaged\, and may not have access to 
 vehicles. The research project described in this talk undertook an analysi
 s of the national paths network using publicly available data supplied by 
 hundreds of individual local authorities across the UK. This was done by s
 etting up a series of models in the QGIS Graphical Modeler to generate six
  key indicators aggregated to census area level\, including distance to ne
 arest continuous path from each small area unit of population\,  length of
  available path within a series of buffers\, and access to paths of specif
 ic types – for example those passing through protected or designated are
 as. The talk will look at some of the challenges of the project\, includin
 g scaling the modeller to work with millions of path features and tens of 
 thousands of point locations\, and building processes to combine path segm
 ents and then disaggregate them to an appropriate level. \n\nThe main goal
  of the project was to inform and support specific policy proposals\, but 
 it is also intended that the QGIS models should be passed on to Ramblers a
 nd used in the longer term\, to monitor the impact of changes to the paths
  network and of population patterns over time\, and also to support analys
 is of how additions to the network\, for example by the inclusion of histo
 ric paths which are not yet official rights of way\, could improve access.
  The intention is that these models could be run on smaller areas\, and on
  hypothetical paths networks\, to help build a case for extensions and rat
 ionalisation of the paths network at both national and local levels. Use o
 f the Graphical Modeler rather than scripts or database processing will ma
 ke it easier for Ramblers staff to run the models themselves in the future
  using inputs of their choice.
