Accessibility indicators from a gender perspective

Abstract

Abstract Accessibility is an important parameter that expresses how to access everyday activities. The research assumes that accessibility varies according to a number of variables (economic, social, age, gender, etc.) thus, the research focuses on interpreting the concept of accessibility in relation to gender. It aims to analyze the four accessibility components (land-use, transportation, temporal and individual) according to the gender perspective to achieve suitable access for all. The multiplicity of women’s destinations according to their different needs at all levels of the city and the attempt to balance the different tasks creates a kind of confusion, the accessibility parameter organizes this confusion and works to ease the achievement of various activities by organizing land use in a way that achieves the shortest time, less cost and more comfort. The research concluded that accessibility can be assessed from a gender perspective and at the level of daily activities through measures such as: Service Access Distances, Convergence of services, the presence of elements or areas strengthens the concept of accessibility. At the field level, a study area has been selected and a sample of women has been selected to test and determine the daily tasks and patterns of urban activity to emphasize the importance and necessity of taking into account women’s roles in assessing accessibility parameters. And then assess the reality of the study area according to the criteria that reached in the theoretical research.
