The Accessibility of Walkable Spaces index (AWS) is composed of seven measurable indicators according to standards of accessibility, ranging from 0 (Inaccessibility) to 1 (Accessibility). After an audit of 570 sidewalk stretches in São Tomé, State of Paraná, Brazil, the Inaccessible situation was verified as the most recurrent (60.3% of the sidewalk stretches). The best conditions were found in the more consolidated urban central area, as demonstrated by the Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests (p < 0.05). The method showed adequate applicability. So, municipalities can use AWS index as a useful planning tool to prioritize interventions and provide inclusive and more sustainable environments to its citizens. 2020 artículo científico 1806-2563 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=303265671021 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3032/303265671021/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3032/303265671021/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3032/303265671021/303265671021.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3032/303265671021/movil https://doi.org/10.4025/actascitechnol.v42i1.45181 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3032 Acta Scientiarum.
