The Aalborg Charter or Charter of European Cities and Towns Towards Sustainability, states:
“We, cities & towns, shall strive to improve accessibility and sustain social welfare and urban lifestyles with less transport”
Accesibility is defined as the distance between home and public open spaces or basic services. Accessibility is considered good when citizens live within: 300 metres in a straight line on the map. 500 metres meandering the streets. AAcccceessssiibbiilliittyy
The distance considered as optimum, 300 metres, refers to urbanurban citiescities andand townstowns. It is therefore a specific definition for urban conurbations.
TheThe European European indicator indicator does does not not distinguish distinguish betweenbetween rural rural and and urban urban towns towns, therefore, the above definition has been applied for all Cities and Towns in Bizkaia, despite any deficiencies that may result conceptually.
Thus, for ruralrural TownsTowns inin BizkaiaBizkaia,, accessibilityaccessibility is also related to the existence of an appropriateappropriate public public transporttransport serviceservice which facilitates travelling to the basic service. AAcccceessssiibbiilliittyy ttoo::
Basic services:
Basic services are defined as follows: • Health and medical centres, care centres, and chemist’s. • Educational centres and schools • Sports facilities • Cultural centres
Green areas and open spaces on urban land. CConceptoncept
The indicator attempts to provide an answer to the following question: What share of the inhabitants in the Municipality VV lives close to basic services and public open spaces?
Therefore, the result of the indicator for each Municipality in Bizkaia is directly related to town planning and local public services and open spaces available. The indicator not only reflects the existence of public services, but also their location in the town centre. RResultsesults
Following are the detailed results of the accessibility of the Municipalities of Bizkaia to basic services and public open spaces in relation to the average for the Historical Territory.
For interpretinginterpreting the results, four categories of Municipalities have been defined: A. Municipalities where 75% to 100% of the population has optimum accessibility: 300 metres of less.
B. Municipalities where 50% to 75% of the population has optimum accessibility: 300 metres or less.
C. Municipalities where 25% to 50% of the population has optimum accessibility: 300 metres or less.
D. Municipalities where 0% to 25% of the population has optimum accessibility: 300 metres or less.
It must be pointed out the analysis of the information for the towns of Amoroto, Maruri-Jatabe and Zierbena is still pending. MMedicaledical CCentresentres

Arratia-Nerbioi 61.64 % CConclusionsonclusions The existence of local public services (numbers and location in the city/town centre) clearly affects the mobility needs of the inhabitants of the Municipalities of Bizkaia.
The existence of public open spaces affects the urban quality of the Municipality and therefore the quality of life of the inhabitants of the Municipalities of Bizkaia.
A distinction is made between urban and rural Municipalities: CConclusionsonclusions
A sustainable urban Municipality is defined as having good accessibility to basic services and public open spaces, for the following reasons:
- There are local public services available that cover the needs of the population.
- Distances are reduced and can be covered by walking. Planning is compact.
- Co-existence with neighbours is encouraged, and therefore so is the Municipality’s own identity. CCoonncclluussiioonnss A sustainable rural Municipality is defined as one in which the population has good accessibility to basic services and public open spaces, for the following reasons:
- There are public services available in the town itself, that cover needs, alternatively there is an appropriate public transport service that facilitates accessibility.
- Despite the fact that farmhouses are scattered in the countryside, a centralising of services in the town centre is fostered, thus encouraging co-existence with neighbours and the Municipality’s own identity. CCoonncclluussiioonnss
In general, the Accessibility of the population of Bizkaia is optimum for medical and care centres, schools and sports facilities.
It is not so good for cultural centres and public open spaces.
By REGIONS, the Bilbao Metropolitan Area is the most distinguished, with accessibility above the mean for Bizkaia. The reason for this is that there is a greater concentration of the population and more compact town planning.
The region next with the greatest accessibility and local public services available is Duranguesado. CCoonncclluussiioonnss Availability and accessibility to local public services and open spaces in Plentzia-Mungia, Arratia- Nerbioi, Lea-Artibai and Gernika-Bermeo is similar and also high.
The Region with the lowest degree of accessibility to basic services and public open spaces is Encartaciones. This is due to the existence of scattered farmhouses, however, and from a point of view of sustainability, these must be preserved as they are directly related to our culture.
“Access to public open areas and basic services is essential in a sustainable community for the quality of life and the viability of the local economy” DGXI. European Union
