摘   要:在阿尔及利亚,残疾人经常与城市的交通不便作斗争。这些问题与城市的可达性与物理障碍有关,并且会对残疾人生活产生不利影响,他们无法从事日常工作,无法在有吸引力和令人向往的地方自由活动。本文旨在研究公共空间对残疾人的可达性和吸引力之间的关系。文章分析了影响残疾人在公共空间中进行行程选择的因素,以及城市环境空间和社会维度对他们日常生活可能造成的影响。本文的定性分析首先是在阿尔及尔市中心进行的实地调查;通过对步行道路的评论和问卷调查分析了残疾人是如何使用公共空间的。论文的第二部分主要是使用空间语法技术和depthMapX软件对研究案例进行描述。这一分析使我们能够确定阿尔及尔公共空间的可达性水平,以及影响身体残疾者行动的参数。它表明,残疾人缺乏最佳的旅行选择,他们的行动是由空间的物理可达性决定的,而不是它的吸引力和/或实用性。


Abstract:In Algeria, people with disabilities often struggle with the inaccessibility of cities. These problems are related to accessibility and physical barriers in the urban environment, and have a negative impact on the lives of people with disabilities, who are prevented from carrying out daily tasks and from moving freely in attractive and desirable places. This paper aims to examine the correlation between the accessibility and attractiveness of public spaces for people with disabilities. It analyses both the factors influencing their itinerary choices in public spaces and the impact that the spatial and social dimensions of the urban environment may have on their daily movements. This paper’s qualitative analysis begins with an in-situ survey conducted in the city centre of Algiers; it looks at how people with disabilities use public spaces, using an analysis based on commented walks as well as interviews with a group of disabled people. The second part of the paper focuses on a description of the study case, using space syntax techniques and depthMapX software. This analysis allows us to ascertain both the level of accessibility of the Algiers public space, and the parameters influencing the mobility of people with physical disabilities. It reveals that people with disabilities lack optimal travel choices, and that their movements are determined by the physical accessibility of the space, rather than by its attractiveness and/or usefulness.
