Propuesta de Movilidad Inclusiva para Personas con Discapacidad Visual. Caso de Estudio Tramo Mercadillo-Colón

Abstract

The city is a dynamic system composed of the structure and urban infrastructure; but the main element is the people, whose accessibility should be an essential objective in any mobility policy, especially in the central corridor of the SITU Loja, where most trips are made on foot, due to the presence of the backbone of the system urban transport, as well as the surrounding area services. In order to ensure access to public space, it is essential to plan the pedestrian mobility inclusive, that is, looking at everyone, especially the most vulnerable groups, such as people with visual disabilities, as currently they are segregated and both physically and socially excluded. This paper aims to meet the mobility needs of the visually impaired, generating a proposed pedestrian network inclusive; containing functional and sensory qualities, through the integration of multisensory architecture concepts and existing regulations, in order to guarantee their movement in terms of comfort, security and autonomy.
