Winner of 2024 RSAI Dissertation Award
Felix Pot is chosen as the winner of the RSAI dissertation award in 2024 for his work ''The Extra Mile: Perceived Accessibility in Rural Areas'.
The dissertation presents a novel conceptual and methodological approach to the analysis of perceived accessibility and it shows that a lower provision of services and amenities in rural areas does not necessarily translate to lower levels of perceived accessibility compared to urban areas. The research employs both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine perceived accessibility to daily activities in rural areas in the Netherlands, contributing to the normative evaluation of spatial inequalities in accessibility. The PhD dissertation includes chapters that are already published in high quality peer-reviewed international journals, including highly cited articles in the Journal of Transport Geography.
Dr Pot received his Doctorate from the University of Groningen on 7 September 2023 (https://research.rug.nl/en/publications/the-extra-mile-perceived-accessibility-in-rural-areas) and was supervised by Prof Taede Tillema and Prof Sierdjan Koster. Congratulations!
