An assessment of pedestrian networks in accessible neighborhoods: traditional neighborhoods in Iran. دانشگاه علم و صنعت ایران. 1390; 0 (2)
چکیده:
Accessibility is one of the important factors in public open space design and the creation of equitable neighborhoods. Limitations
caused by physical disabilities should not be a barrier for accessing desired spaces and people must be able to live with the
greatest possible independence regardless of mobility limitations. The purpose of this paper was to identify the inclusive criteria
of pedestrian design and explore the physical characteristics of equitable neighborhoods in Iranian cities. People who experience
disabilities have equal rights to have access to the physical environment, communication devices and different services for
education, recreation, social participation, accommodation, health and employment. This study was based on the analysis of the
morphological characteristics of the Iranian traditional towns (Yazd and Nain), the socio-historical information, and the direct
observation of the spaces, and interviews. The findings of the research showed that social equity and shaping an inclusive
community are among the problems of developing countries. Based on the findings related to physical limitations of people with
special needs and their attitude toward the varied problems they face, some key solutions have been proposed to guarantee better
independent movement and achieve equity of access. People with disabilities should be equal to others in terms of their access to
urban spaces, regardless of gender, ethnicity and type of disability. Safety and convenience are some ways for promoting public
health especially its mental aspects. Finally it can be said that inclusive pedestrian networks will provide the people especially
those suffering from physical disability and moving limitations with more accessible routes and help them participate in personal
and social spheres of life more effectively.
