Abstract
Pedestrian accessibility represents a sustainable method of urban mobility. To improve pedestrian accessibility in neighborhoods, local administrations need to use decision-making tools that perform objective analysis. This paper discusses the case of Romanian cities and offers a theoretical base that would aid the process of decision making. It thus suggests a decision support system (DSS), which is an innovative approach combining two well-known algorithms: the hierarchic- analytic process, used in operations research, and the advanced multi-criteria analysis based on FRISCO formula. The DSS has been made available online, helping public administrations plan chains of interventions without the use of advanced mathematical skills.
