Abstract
GUEVARA ROMERO, María Lourdes; FLORES TORRES, Jorge Omar Daniel and FLORES LUCERO, María de Lourdes. Analysis of the conditions of pedestrian mobility due to territorial fragmentation. Case: Las Lajas neighborhood, Atlixcáyotl Territorial Unit, Puebla, México. Estoa [online]. 2022, vol.11, n.21, pp.251-271. ISSN 1390-9274. https://doi.org/10.18537/est.v011.n021.a14.
The inhabitants of marginalized neighborhoods in the Atlixcáyotl Territorial Unit face various mobility conditions when making long journeys to evade the barriers caused by the avenues and infrastructure built by implementing urban planning instruments in recent decades, which caused a territorial fragmentation in this area. The objective is to carry out an analysis of the conditions of pedestrian mobility of the inhabitants of Las Lajas by the implementation of urban planning instruments to generate recommendations that can lead to public policies. The methodology used was based on a theoretical review and analysis of legal instruments, techniques such as field trips and measurements of time and distance, as well as the application of questionnaires and interviews. The results obtained show how the urban planning instruments prioritized the construction of projects and roads that fragmented the territory, conditioning the modes of pedestrian mobility in the neighborhoods of this area.
