Abstract

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has recently lifted restrictions regarding the mixing of genders and the access rights of women to public space. These reforms call for new public space strategies to accommodate women’s needs. Although studies have examined various management and design factors thought to improve women’s experiences in public spaces, these studies often lack an evaluative component and do not always convey the significance of each factor. Through Exploratory Factor Analysis and Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation techniques, we propose a six-factor index that allows officials, practitioners, researchers, and urban inhabitants to assess and improve urban access for women.
