Análise da acessibilidade na Praça Gogó da Ema localizada no bairro da Ponta Verde na cidade Maceió/Alagoas

Abstract

This study aims to assess accessibility at Praça Gogó da Ema, located in the Ponta Verde neighborhood in Maceió/AL, considering its significance as a central space for community gatherings, leisure, and cultural events. The rapid urban growth and the diversity of activities held in the square underscore the need to ensure the inclusion of all citizens, regardless of their physical, sensory, or ognitive abilities. Analyzing the barriers faced by different groups helps identify areas that require improvement, contributing to the development of effective strategies for promoting inclusion. The lack of accessibility not only violates legal standards but also limits access to the benefits offered by the square, thereby restricting the full exercise of citizenship. Therefore, the analysis conducted in this study is justified not only from a social and humanitarian standpoint but also represents a fundamental step towards building more accessible and harmonious cities. Investing in the accessibility of Praça Gogó da Ema is essential for promoting a more inclusive and equitable coexistence, preserving its value as an emblematic space of the city.
