Good Morning Everyone,



I am working on a project to understand distance-to-care in rural region
with limited official/recognized roads – the area is mostly highland. We
are using Euclidean distance and Cost distance to measure distance-to-care.
I was curious if anyone can explain to me the magnitude of discrepancy
between cost distance and actual travel distances in rural regions or
limitations of cost distance method. For those in academia, any literature
suggestion to understand the magnitude of discrepancy between cost
distances and actual travel distances? Any help or advice is welcome and
thank you in advance for you time.



Best,
