GUEVARA-QUINCHUA, Yaqueline  y  FRANCEL, Andrés. Evaluation of public Space for people with reduced mobility. Ibague, Colombia. CIDADES [online]. 2023, n.46, pp.78-94.  Epub 30-Jun-2023. ISSN 2182-3030.  https://doi.org/10.15847/cct.27635.

The built environment in developing cities evidences the growing complexity in urban settings, as a consequence of the functionalist ideology in urbanism. There are marked infrastructure deficiencies in diverse accessibility, a worrying situation that tends to dehumanize public space and increasingly reduce the possibilities of social integration. The analysis focuses on a section of the Carrera Quinta, the main urban road axis of Ibagué. It aims to evaluate the existing conditions of accessibility in terms of dimensions, morphological characteristics and usability, through the application of surveys and visits to the study area, in order to generate a primary diagnosis on its quality, condition, safety and attractiveness, especially for people with physical limitations. In this perspective, it constitutes a useful resource for subsequent studies and interventions of urban planning with inclusive design.

Palabras clave : infrastructure; accessibility; public space; urban development; inclusive design.
