The Otium Analytics Demand Analysis Model determines the estimated participants, required hours of access, number of facilities, playing space and total space for activities, and by user sharing potential (i.e., ovals being used by AFL and Cricket). The key inputs into the model include:
- Participation rates by activity
- Available facility capacity
- User access needs
- Typical field size and ancillary space required
- Demographic information
- Current supply (if known).
The interactive model allows us to adjust individual aspects of the inputs to ensure the model is a true reflection of the local context, including adjustable inputs on:
- Participation rate in adults and children
- Season length, users per field, access needs per week
- Facilities lighting across the network
- Field size and ancillary spaced needed.
Overall, the model provides:
- Total number of participants per activity and by facility type
- Number of facilities per activity and facility type
- Spatial demand by activity and facility type, including playing space and overall space.
