This paper deconstructs everyday mobility practices from a perspective of accessibility and social and transport (dis)advantage in two capital port cities in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) – Freetown, Sierra Leone and Maputo, Mozambique. The paper proposes a novel framework that interprets social and transport (dis)advantage conditions as critical drivers of mobility behaviours and the resulting (in)accessibility that circumscribes individuals’ experience. Building on its framework, the paper raises unique empirical qualitative evidence from eight neighbourhoods about mobility practices across populations facing different degrees of social and transport (dis)advantage. The study’s design is grounded in the in-depth understanding of accessibility using qualitative methods as a counterpoint to predominant quantitative and spatial approaches, filling critical data gaps in cities in SSA. The findings reveal a deep-seated aspiration for car ownership, tempered by the urgency of other immediate material needs, as well as the dynamic nature of travel behaviour due to changing conditions during the day and throughout the year. The findings also indicate informality plays a significant role in enabling access to critical opportunities and the need to strengthen trust in popular transport systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This document focuses on urban dispersion and accessibility in the Metropolitan Zone of the Valley of Mexico and its influence on the university student population. This is achieved through the analysis of three groups of data: mobility surveys of the student community, school performance monitoring data provided by the University, and data from Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) on the location of main transportation in the city. The research provides results on the geographical dispersion of students, their dependence on the public transportation system, and how this situation is related to accessibility and academic performance, particularly in the case of students with greater lag. Finally, the importance of implementing these studies in businesses and schools that will contribute to the development of transportation and urban planning policies that reduce social disparities and improve mobility in the urban environment is highlighted.

The advancement of technology enables new resources for education. The convergence of accessibility, usability, serious games (SG) and user-centered design (UCD) enables the development of inclusive resources to respond to the needs of people with disabilities. This work aims to analyze and synthesize the developments of digital educational games, focusing on the technical aspects that facilitate their implementation in the classroom. The criteria and recommendations of the PRISMA protocol (2020) were applied to carry out the search. Keywords were used to explore the databases of Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed and 21 journals, covering the period between 2018 and 2023. In the initial investigation, 799 articles were identified, and after applying the purification process 24 publications were analyzed. The results indicate a growing and continuous interest in the topic. Current trends in the design and use of accessible video games for people with intellectual disabilities were identified, as well as their impact on learning and educational inclusion.

Las personas con discapacidad se enfrentan a diario con barreras que derivan del entorno físico, material o social en el que se desenvuelven. Para lograr que dicho entorno sea completamente inclusivo, se debe garantizar la accesibilidad, realizar las adaptaciones necesarias y reconocer las habilidades de cada individuo. El presente artículo muestra los resultados de una investigación llevada a cabo con el fin de comprobar si las bibliotecas están respondiendo a las necesidades los usuarios con discapacidad. Se analiza la producción científica en este ámbito en los últimos cincuenta años relacionada con las iniciativas de accesibilidad e inclusión destinadas a garantizar el acceso a la información de las personas con discapacidad en función del tipo de esta. Dicho análisis se sustenta en la realización de una revisión sistemática sobre el uso de los conceptos de “accesibilidad” e “inclusión” relacionados con el de “biblioteca” en la producción científica del ámbito de la Biblioteconomía y la Documentación en las bases de datos de Web of Science, Scopus y Library Science Database, Con ello, se pretende estudiar la atención que se presta a las personas con discapacidad y, en especial, a las personas con discapacidad auditiva = People with disabilities face daily barriers arising from the physical, material, or social environment in which they live.

Transport matters for health and education outcomes, by ensuring physical access to crucial facilities. Using spatial modelling techniques and routable public transport service data, this study assesses the effectiveness of mostly semi fixed-route public transport systems in connecting people to advanced healthcare and education facilities in African cities. Uncovering significant pockets of ‘accessibility poverty’ – travel times above an acceptable level – it underscores the inequality in access within the cities, disproportionately affecting poor populations. Proximity of public transport to homes matters but has limited impact, due to how the routes, operated mainly by informal service providers, are allocated across the urban space and the low technical performance. The low ‘value added’ of public transport compared to walking helps explain the prevalence of foot travel. Tailored policy interventions – improving the public transport systems and, equally importantly, ensuring more equitable spatial distribution of advanced healthcare facilities – emerge as crucial strategies for addressing accessibility poverty.

The increasing proximity between protected areas (PAs) and urban areas, which can lead to urban protected areas (UPAs), is now commonplace. Use of Euclidean distance to measure the distance between PAs and cities has not correctly portrayed the spatial relationship between PAs and cities. We devised an isochronous circle model to accurately measure the distance between 2706 national PAs in 5 categories and 2844 cities in China based on human accessibility to identify urban human activity‐influenced protected areas (UHAIPAs) and to quantitatively analyze their distribution patterns and relationships with China's economy, population distribution patterns, and urban development indicators. Most of the PAs in China were established near cities. Of 2746 PAs in China, 18.35% (n = 504) became UPAs, and 58.27% (n = 1600), 16.72% (n = 459), and 3.31% (n = 91) of PAs were within 0–30, 30–60, and 60–90 min, respectively. Both UPAs and UHAIPAs in China in general exhibited obvious spatial aggregation characteristics (e.g., wetland parks and scenic areas), and there was a significant spatial dependence effect among characteristics. The degree of spatial distribution and aggregation of UPAs was correlated with 16 indicators across urban economic development, urban natural substrate, and urban policy support factors. Based on the results of our study, we call for various governments and scholars to focus on areas where wetland parks and PAs overlap with urban boundaries. It is important to emphasize the potential link between the development of agriculture, forestry, livestock and fisheries industries, and UPAs. Overall, we believe that examining the accessibility of PAs can more accurately measure the distance between PAs and cities, and more realistically reflect the possible impacts of urban human activities on PAs, which is helpful for strengthening the conservation and management of PAs.

Intersectional feminist translation provides visibility to the historically hidden or marginalized characters and narratives. This article interrogates the strategies we can apply to translate images into words, that is, to audio describe non-normative identities while adhering to the particularities of audiovisual productions. It poses the question of how to provide a feminist audio description that aligns with the creators' intent. The objective of this study is to analyse the strategies applied to create a gender-conscious AD of a documentary on lesbophobia where ten women share their experiences as non-normative persons. They are defined by a series of intrinsic features such as race, gender expression or age and present a myriad of differences that have irremediably influenced their experience of lesbophobia and how society reads and identifies them. The visual contents in this documentary provide essential information that complements the understanding of the problem by people with visual impairment. This action research study analyses the challenges emerged during the AD production. It aims to emphasize the mediating power of AD professionals and how they influence the understanding of blind audiences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Urban locations with high centrality are associated with locational advantages, making them more desirable and expensive. There is not a consensus yet on how centrality affects real estate prices for different markets and income groups. In Brazil, this theme is relatively unexplored. This article uses an approach based on urban spatial networks, going beyond simple centrality descriptions considering the distance to the Central Business District (CBD). The objective is to analyse how apartment prices relate to two location attributes: accessibility (relative distance) and centrality (relative importance). Weighted network models are applied at two scales: city-wide and neighbourhoods. The database includes a sample of 400 offers for the sale of used apartments in 2022 and 2023 in Porto Alegre, analysed collectively and segmented into three price classes. Configurational indicators were calculated using the Graph Analysis Urban Networks (GAUS) plugin. Both configurational measures and prices were normalized using the Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) technique and correlated in a GIS environment. Results indicate that the most accessible areas of Porto Alegre have higher unit price (per square meter) apartments. Conversely, areas with higher centrality have cheaper properties, likely due to the availability of services and transportation. The more expensive apartments tend to avoid locations with higher centrality values, both globally and at the neighbourhood level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Basic Health Units lack infrastructure to guarantee accessibility for people with disabilities, as they often present inadequacies on public roads and lack of access to the entrance to the facilities. Buildings lacking accessibility create significant obstacles to the health of people with disabilities, providing distance between the individual in need of care and the health unit. Therefore, many challenges are faced by this public, and therefore, the objective is to: Know and characterize the faces and interfaces of accessibility for people with disabilities. Given the knowledge explored, it is known that the National Policy for People with Disabilities is a source of technical and scientific knowledge for those who use it, including health professionals, family members, and people with disabilities. Knowing that access to the Unified Health System (SUS) is the main gateway for these patients, this article is of great importance, as it allows reflection on the topic in question and generates new possibilities for discussion. Including people with disabilities in the decision-making process about their own care is crucial. This means respecting their autonomy, listening to their needs, and ensuring they have understandable information to make informed decisions about their health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

How do people make decisions on where, when, and how to commute? And how did the pandemic crisis affect their commuting patterns? Based on exploratory interviews in Lima and family chronicles collected in Bogotá during 2020; and a second round of interviews in six low-income areas in the peripheries of these two cities during 2021, this article offers a panoramic view of the changes experienced in low-income neighbourhoods and their families during these recent years of pandemic. These changes bring to light the role of intra-household arrangements regarding mobility and accessibility. We suggest that mobility and accessibility can better be understood on a more systemic level (influenced by intra-household arrangements), as a collective phenomenon (based on the household’s resources and the household’s needs), and even as a collective decision-making process.

The ability to overcome geographical distance is necessary to participate in social inclusion activities, such as employment. This paper seeks to describe the accessibility of job opportunities outside Uruguay’s capital city metropolitan area. This analysis entails empirically assessing intercity accessibility because workers in small cities frequently have to commute outside their cities of residence. This research reveals different regional accessibility profiles and allows us to identify vulnerable regions based on lack of accessibility to job opportunities. For the most vulnerable regions, travel by public transport would afford access to a number of job opportunities that, after considering the number of job seekers, would provide a level of employment well below the national rate. The findings suggest that policies to improve accessibility should not be homogeneous and must consider regional disparities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Brazilian cities are typically unequal and car dominated, where poorer communities mainly rely on public transport, walking and cycling. Yet, understanding the experience of using these modes within specific contexts remains limited. In this paper, we illustrate how the ‘New Mobilities Paradigm’ can contribute to the ‘Accessibility Turn’ in urban research. Focusing on the low-income ‘Cruzeiro-Tronco’ neighbourhood in Porto Alegre, Brazil, we incorporate considerations of equity and social inclusion by applying Jensen’s ‘Staging Mobilities’ framework to examine how mobility is ‘staged from above’ by institutions and ‘staged from below’ by residents. We used biographical interviews and mobile methods to provide in-depth accounts of the lived experience of walking and cycling, showing how residents navigate the spaces and negotiate their mobility strategies in places deemed accessible by conventional ‘objective’ metrics. By applying Jensen’s framework as part of a mixed-methods research approach, we provide a more informative and context-specific account of the accessibility landscape, constructing knowledge with participants about the meanings of accessibility to support more inclusive policies and designs.

Incorporating accessibility in software development brings significant benefits such as the inclusion of people with disabilities. Recognizing the diversity of users with different requirements and needs within software development facilitates its use by the greatest number of users regardless of their individual conditions. The objective of this research is to obtain a knowledge base to identify those practices for which there is evidence of their use in the development of accessible software. A Systematic Literature Mapping (SLM) focused on identifying practices that incorporate accessibility activities in the software life cycle was conducted, resulting in 29 studies that met the selection criteria. The results show that the phase with more evidence of incorporation of accessibility activities in software development is the testing phase, when testers are used to verify accessibility within web pages, followed by the construction phase, when methodologies that include accessibility within the software development process are used; in the design phase it is common to incorporate artifacts that guide the development of accessible software and, finally, in the requirements phase it is common to use the requirements description to obtain and document accessibility requirements.

In the development of this investigative work, the importance of the return of the value added tax is reflected in the economy of the elderly of the Noboa parish, 24 de Mayo, where these people do not have defined knowledge about the return of the Tax Added Value (VAT). That is why the general objective was defined, which is to analyze the return of the VAT and its importance in the economy of the elderly of the Noboa parish, taking into consideration the existing lack of knowledge on the part of the adults greater. A mixed methodology was used, field, bibliographic and descriptive research; In the same way, bibliographic, deductive, inductive and statistical methods were implemented, to obtain relevant information, a survey technique was developed where non-probabilistic sampling was chosen, and the sample of 30 older adults was selected to apply said technique. The results indicate that the older adults surveyed are unaware of the VAT refund and that, furthermore, they have not received talks on this topic, concluding that these people need training so that they can enjoy this benefit and have a stable life.

The access of rural societies to welfare opportunities and resources is at the core of policy and research agendas. The persistent ruralurban gap increases the risks of exclusion and is a challenge that rural dwellers tackle by bolstering their mobility to access labour markets, resources and services. The car has become a vector in the connections and transformations that sustain rural life; however, this mobility is also a source of new fractures in social and territorial cohesion. This paper explores how the rural mobility system has been shaped and analyses its impact on these societies. The results suggest integrating the issue of mobility into rural policies from a more complex sociological perspective, addressing demographic challenges, regional development and territorial cohesion.

Between the decades of 1960 and 1990, the family dairy farming activity, a fundamental link in the dairy circuit located in the dairy basin in Buenos Aires province, experienced significant transformations. These were driven by the demands of pasteurization, the mechanization of tasks, the railways decline, the automobile transportation growth, the lower labour demand, changes in dairy demand and the expansion of large diversified plants. Within a context of process of productive change, which role did mobility, in terms of infrastructure and practices, play? How did mobility restrict family dairy production? How did (in)accessibility influence? In order to answer these questions that have not deserved enough historiographical attention, this research describes the daily life of dairy farming families in the General Paz district, with the focus placed on mobility practices and the accessibility problems that made their social reproduction difficult in the mentioned period. To do this, a socio-territorial approach will be used and multiple sources will be compiled and analyzed, such as the press, legislation, statistics, maps and interviews. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resumen En la Geografía argentina hay una producción académica importante sobre calidad de vida y bienestar, desarrollada en distintas escalas de análisis, como son provincias, partidos/ departamentos o radios censales. En este artículo el objetivo es analizar el bienestar de la población residente en los pueblos pequeños y grandes de la provincia de Buenos Aires en 2010 y explorar su asociación con otras variables, como la tasa anual de crecimiento intercensal y la accesibilidad a una ciudad de 50.000 habitantes o más. Para la medición del bienestar la principal fuente de datos es el Censo Nacional de Población, Hogares y Viviendas de 2010. A esta se suman el informe elaborado por el Defensor del Pueblo de la Nación (2010) y el SINAGIR (2018). Estas han sido el insumo para la obtención de un índice de bienestar de los pueblos bonaerenses (IBPB) mediante la aplicación de técnicas cuantitativas. Además, se ha utilizado un Sistema de Información Geográfica para la construcción de cartografía temática y el análisis espacial. Los resultados muestran marcadas desigualdades, pero con predominio de poblados en situación intermedia. Se ha advertido la existencia de un vínculo estadístico medio entre nivel de bienestar y tasa anual de crecimiento pero una conexión alta con el tiempo de viaje a una ciudad de 50.000 habitantes o más, definiendo las peores condiciones en las localidades con menor accesibilidad. Abstract In Argentine geography there is an important academic production about quality of life and well-being, developed at different scales of analysis, such as provinces, districts/departments or census radii. The aim of this article is to analyze the well-being of the population living in small and large towns in the province of Buenos Aires in 2010 and to explore its association with other variables, such as the annual rate of intercensal growth and accessibility to a city of 50,000 inhabitants or more. For the measurement of well-being, the main source of data is the 2010 National Census of Population, Households and Housing. Added to this is the report prepared by the National Ombudsman (2010) and SINAGIR (2018). These have been the input for obtaining an index of well-being of the peoples of Buenos Aires (IBPB) through the application of quantitative techniques. In addition, a Geographic Information System has been used for the construction of thematic cartography and spatial analysis. The results show marked inequalities, but with a predominance of villages in intermediate situations. The existence of a medium statistical link between the level of well-being and the annual growth rate has been noted, but a high connection with travel time to a city of 50,000 inhabitants or more, defining the worst conditions in localities with less accessibility.
