Figure 2: 417-meter buffer polygons were generated around bus stops to calculate Figure 3: a five-minute walking time network analysis was performed to generate
the number of residential units that fall outside this threshold. These units polygons around bus stops. Similar to the buffer analysis, these polygons allow to
represent 10.1% of Enschede's total residential units. visualize and calculate residential units that fall outside of this threshold. The
