Accessibility and Walkability in the Urban Center of Maranguape/CE: Diagnosis and Guidelines for Urban Inclusion

This research aims to analyze the conditions of accessibility and walkability in the urban center of Maranguape/CE for people with disabilities and reduced mobility. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines technical evaluation through the Walkability Index (ITDP Brasil) with participatory methodologies (accompanied walkthrough and focus groups). The results will produce an integrated diagnosis of urban accessibility and propose intervention guidelines and public policy recommendations oriented toward inclusive urban planning in medium-sized cities of the Fortaleza Metropolitan Region.
