Description

“Equality” often means that each individual or group of people is given the same resources or opportunities. However, “equity” has emerged as something even more important because it recognizes that each person or group has different circumstances, requiring different amounts of resources and opportunities. In this session we will explore examples that highlight how GIS and spatial tools can be used to better understand issues of equity and burdens such as access to services, vehicle, issues of poverty and more.
