DOI

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.Understanding Society (the UK Household Longitudinal Study), which began in 2009, is conducted by the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex, and the survey research organisations Kantar Public and NatCen. It builds on and incorporates, the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), which began in 1991.

The Understanding Society: Waves 1-2, 2009-2011: Special Licence Access, Geographical Accessibility (UKHLS-accessibility) dataset is the output of a research project that linked information from the Department for Transport's (DfT) Accessibility Statistics with information from the first two waves of Understanding Society. It provides user-friendly access to information about the areas in which study members live, taken from more than 20 published tables describing small areas (Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) levels in England in terms of more than 600 unique data items relating to access to eight domains of public service (i.e., Employment Centres, Primary Schools, Secondary Schools, Further Education, General Practitioners, Hospitals, Food Stores, and Town Centres). For further information, see the documentation. This work was supported by the Life Transitions and Transport Behaviour project of the Economic and Social Research Council's Secondary Data Analysis Initiative (SDAI) programme (grant number: ES/K00445X/1), a collaboration between the University of the West of England, the Department for Transport and the Institute for Social and Economic Research. Additional support was received from the Understanding Society project (grant number: ES/K005146/1). These data have more restrictive access conditions than those available under the standard End User Licence (see 'Access' section).
