The regional transportation policy is a key constituent for smooth and planned development in rural regions of the developing countries. It was found that rural sub-regions were struggling with the problem of inaccessibility, which is the main cause of their backwardness. Hence, the goal of this research is to deliver regional transportation policy proposals, which can support rural development authorities to ease the inaccessibility problem. The aims of this study are to design and develop a computer-based database system; to mitigate the accessibility issues of rural inhabitants with the development of a time-space prism and to develop regional travel demand models. The study area was selected as a "Lower Sindh Sub-Region, Pakistan." The data were taken from the secondary source "Hyderabad Master Plan 2001-2015" for the development of a computer-based database svstem. For the rest of the obiectives. the data were collected throu<!h "' J ' ----- -------Q-- field visits, personal observations and questionnaire survey.
