• Resumen

  • This research aims to broach the conceptual and policy framework of proximity accessibility by exploring its understanding by planning practitioners in Spain. To do this, we used an online survey distributed to 385 practitioners obtaining a sample of105 valid responses. Most practitioners agree that proximity policies are already considered in territorial/strategic planning, although they believe that it is still to be thoroughlyapplied at the municipal level. Regarding other policies, they consider very relevant the promotion of walking and cycling linked to limit the use of private cars, as well as equity(gender, age, ability, etc.) and health-related actions.
