Abstract

The rationality of transport as a distributive instrument of people and opportunities is recently discussed in transportation planning field. The measures of spatial inequalities could inform about transport provision and land use, featuring the opportunities to be accessed by specific groups. To meet the challenge of applying complementary methodological approaches to integrate information, this work aims at analysing spatial inequalities by using clustering analysis. Using such approach, it was possible to identify patterns of accessibility and income in São Paulo municipality through the years of 2000 and 2010. In 2010, a new group is formed in the inner-city border. In both years, there are distinguished conditions of accessibility on the city outskirts.
