locationsstreets

Locationsstreets is a term used in geospatial and urban planning contexts to describe the street network associated with a specific location. It encompasses the set of streets, their names or identifiers, directions, and the connections that determine how a place is accessed and traversed. The term is not tied to a single standard but is used to discuss the street fabric around a geography such as a block, neighborhood, campus, or commercial district.

Conceptually, locationsstreets are modeled as a street network: a graph consisting of nodes for intersections or endpoints and edges for street segments. Attributes may include street name, type, directionality (one-way or two-way), speed limits, and hierarchies (arterial, collector, local).

Uses include routing and navigation, walkability and accessibility analysis, emergency response planning, and urban analytics. By isolating the locationsstreets around a focal point, planners can simulate routes, assess connectivity, and measure proximity to services.

Data sources commonly used to populate locationsstreets include open data from OpenStreetMap, municipal GIS, and commercial datasets. Challenges include data accuracy, update frequency, language and naming variations, and integration across jurisdictions.
