In Brazil, about one third of daily trips are made on foot and in smaller municipalities the participation of non-motorized transport is even higher, showing the great importance of pedestrian-oriented infrastructure and public policies. This paper describes a methodology for ranking the relative importance of the factors that influence the quality of sidewalk infrastructure from the point of view of owners of urban commercial establishments. The attributes were selected from a search in the main scientific bases and organized in a research instrument in the form of a closed questionnaire and were applied in the four main shopping streets of the central area of Cachoeira do Sul - RS. The questionnaire was answered by the 212 responsible for the commercial and service establishments throughout the study area. Attribute weighting was performed by applying the Delphi Technique and Fuzzy Logic together. Thus, the main result of this study is the generation of a ranking of importance of attributes that allows to assist in making decisions to improve sidewalk infrastructure, more efficiently and justifiably.

The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
