Özet

Urban mobility of disabled people has crucial importance for integrat- ed society. Disabled people have barriers in built environment. Thus, they cannot access urban spaces easily. Urban spaces are crucial for participa- tion to public life for all. Identifying the barriers of mobility of disabled people and developing suggestions to eliminate deficiencies are necessary. In this study, universal design and accessibility standards have been integrated to show mobility of disabled people in urban spaces. Analysing table has been de- veloped by AHP method to calculate the accessibility of disabled people. In case study, five transfer centers of Istanbul, which are in historical and central business area, have been analyzed and their scores have been calculated. By the analysis, current situation have been showed up and implementations that need to be done have been identified. The findings are going to help to local authority for accessi- bility implementations.
