Rapid increase in population and urbanization paves the way for
cities to grow in an unplanned way and causes many different
problems such as traffic jam, pollution, lack of infrastructure and
insufficient transportation network. Unplanned construction of
houses at different locations prevents cities from having a good
transportation network with a satisfactory number of roads and
streets built at certain standards. As observed in settlement areas
particularly in cities with squatter houses forming the majority,
one of the most significant elements reflecting the negative
effects of unplanned settlement is pavements. Disabled people using
wheelchair are among the most affected from the problems arising in
cities exposed to rapid population increase and unplanned
settlement. Disabled people are rarely seen in streets in which
there are pavements that are not suitable for them. One of the
settlement areas in which this negative situation is experienced is
undoubtedly Istanbul, the most populated city in Turkey. This study
aims at identifying to what extend the pavements in Si li district
is convenient for disabled pedestrians who use wheelchairs.
