Ir e vir: uma proposta de acessibilidade para os espaços públicos da cidade de Delmiro Gouveia / AL

Abstract

Accessibility can be defined as the comfortable and secure movement of any person in a particular space providing a free come and go. According to the Law number 10.098, stablished in December 19, 2000, accessibility is the possibility and condition for using, with security and autonomy, urban spaces, furniture and equipment, buildings and others. In this work we analyzed the Delmiro Gouveia Commerce Promenade’s accessibility conditions, aiming to propose changes to the current configuration of the Boardwalk in the attempt to make walking accessible to all pedestrians. The methods applied to this proposal consisted in elaborating a diagnosis to highlight the real configurations of the space and measures, floor conditions, location of equipment and urban furniture, as well as the access to commercial buildings, having as parameters the indices listed at the ABNT NBR 9050/2015, which is a Brazilian Standard Code. From the diagnosis, a proposal was made for improvements in the area conferring accessibility qualities. Therefore, we expect that the city center of Delmiro Gouveia - AL will become an accessible public space and that the users can enjoy with more security, autonomy and comfort in this space, ensuring to all citizens the right to use and live the city.
