Sumario:Investing in the quality of urban space and pedestrian mobility not only improves the quality of life of the inhabitants, but also establishes a solid foundation for the sustainable growth and future development of a city. Under this premise, the objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the quality of urban space and pedestrian mobility in the city of Juliaca, 2024. The methodology was basic, non-experimental, cross-sectional and correlational. The instrument was a questionnaire whose reliability was a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.873, which was applied to a sample of 224 residents neighboring the unit of analysis. The results were a Spearman correlation coefficient (Rho = 0.779) and a p-value (p = 0.000) indicating a strong positive correlation between the study variables, in general, as the quality of urban space improves, pedestrian mobility increases. This strong correlation suggests that urban spaces that are architecturally designed, safe, accessible and aesthetically pleasing tend to be used more by pedestrians. In conclusion, the study has provided convincing evidence that the quality of urban space is a key determinant of pedestrian mobility in Juliaca. By focusing on improving these spaces, Juliaca has the opportunity to transform its urban environment into a more active, inclusive and pleasant place for all its citizens.
