Análisis de accesibilidad y nivel de servicio de la infraestructura peatonal próxima al Hospital Universitario de Santander (HUS), Bucaramanga con la aplicación de una metodología basada en el confort

Abstract

This project focused on the determination of the level of pedestrian service based on comfort through the application of Sheila Sarkar's methodology allowing to analyze and evaluate the quality of the pedestrian flow of the pedestrian infrastructure near the University Hospital of Santander (HUS). To carry out this study, a data collection sheet was designed with theoretical guidelines based on key comfort attributes to qualify the levels of physical, physiological and psychological well-being of the sections that make up the public space near the HUS; the practical strategy for the collection of information was through the modality of non-participant observation, that is, without intervening in the social group.

As a result of this project, it was possible to establish that the public space near the HUS has a 50% level of service and poor quality with undesirable comfort standards for the development of pedestrian activities. It is recommended to evaluate the operational quality of the pedestrian infrastructure and the perception that the user has, in order to determine the quality of displacement so that it is a more efficient space in a matter of time and energy that are invested in the movement.
