Pedestrian routes are defined as important social spaces with their feature of connecting the built environment and public open spaces. In order to ensure accessibility to these places, some basic principles must be followed. In this study, by comparing accessibility standards determined by various countries and evaluating the standards determined by TSE in Turkey, the accessibility criteria were determined. These criteria were used to measure spatial accessibility of pedestrian routes. The weighting of the criteria for measuring spatial accessibility constituted the main problem of the study. With the specific structure of the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method, which is one of the multi-criteria decision-making analysis techniques, the decision problem is modelled to determine the weighting of the criteria. Within the scope of the study, the spatial accessibility problems of the northern campus pedestrian routes of Çukurova University in Turkey were discussed, the barrier-free access project designed in this direction was examined along with the criteria, 12 different sample areas were selected, and the accessibility quality of the areas were determined using the weights of criteria. According to the criteria determined to be lacking in the designed project, an arrangement has been proposed for the pavement, pedestrian path and gathering area. It is thought that study outputs will provide both important output to other studies to evaluate the quality of urban accessibility and improve accessibility and to authorities or managers in the urban service area to assess the quality of urban accessibility and improve accessibility.
