Abstract

The Strategic Problem Assessment isakey moment in the integrated urban planning process during which the problems of socio-spatial inequalities in accessibility are analyzed in order to support the definition of strategic and tactical objectives, as wellasthe proposal of policies that benefit vulnerable groups. It is argued that such an assessment has to measurethe magnitude of problems over space and between social groups, in order to explainthe heterogeneity of their causes and effects,and to establish their hierarchy over the territory to prioritize the planning objectives. In this context, the main objective of this work is to propose a method to classify the territory considering thesocio-spatial inequalities in urban accessibility. The method was applied to the city of Fortaleza,whichterritory was classified in three different types of zones considering the access to jobopportunities,by thelow-income population.
