In the last two decades, authors have dedicated themselves to answering these questions, after all, walking is the most elementary mode of travel, and it is present throughout Brazilian territory. The objective of this work is to propose a methodology for the elaboration of a Walkability Index for the city of Montes Claros/MG. As specific objectives, it proposes the apprehension of studies focused on pedestrian displacements and the use of the multicriteria analysis method AHP – Analytic Hierarchy Process to develop the index. The methodology was built in two stages. The first carries out a review of the theoretical aspects of walkability. The second consists of building the Walkability Index, carried out in three activities: i) multicriteria analysis to define the weights of the walkability indicators, resulting from expert opinion and pedestrian perception; ii) definition of criteria for evaluating the indicators; and iii) application of the mathematical model for calculating the walkability index. The results reflect the relevance of the indicators: existence of sidewalks, lighting and sidewalk maintenance/conservation, and show how essential it is to understand local specificities in the assessment of walkability. Os estudos acerca da caminhabilidade propõem avaliar a qualidade do deslocamento dos pedestres e os fatores que influenciam as decisões pela viagem a pé. Nas últimas três décadas autores se dedicam a responder a estas questões, afinal, o caminhar é o mais elementar modo de deslocamento, e está presente em todo território brasileiro. O objetivo desse trabalho é propor uma metodologia para elaboração de um Índice de Caminhabilidade para a cidade de Montes Claros/MG. Como objetivos específicos, propõe a apreensão de estudos voltados para os deslocamentos pedonais e a utilização do método de análise multicritério AHP – Analytic Hierarchy Process para desenvolver o Índice de Caminhabilidade. A metodologia foi construída em duas etapas. A primeira efetua uma revisão nos aspectos teóricos da caminhabilidade. A segunda consiste na construção do Índice de Caminhabilidade realizada em três atividades: i) análise de multicritério para definição dos pesos dos indicadores de caminhabilidade, resultante da opinião de especialistas e da percepção de pedestres; ii) definição de critérios para avaliação dos indicadores; e iii) aplicação do modelo matemático para o cálculo do índice de caminhabilidade. Os resultados refletem a relevância dos indicadores: existência de calçada, iluminação, e manutenção/conservação de calçada, e mostram o quão é fundamental entender as especificidades locais na avaliação da caminhabilidade.
