Folclorito, projeto de playground acessível baseado em folguedos alagoanos

Abstract

The course conclusion work has as its theme - Folclorito, Accessible Playground Project Based On Folguedos Alagoanos. The project sought to promote, in addition to valuing regional culture, proposals for recreational environments with inclusive furniture, in which children with reduced mobility and/or sensory and intellectual impairments have the opportunity to use the park safely, respecting their limitations and expanding their social, motor, cognitive and sensory experiences. In this context, this work aimed to develop the project of equipment for urban playgrounds that aim at accessibility and social inclusion in childhood, based on the principles of accessibility, associated with elements of Alagoas popular culture. To achieve this objective, Gui Bonsiepe's Project Methodology (1984) was applied. As stages of the work were carried out: the collection of data on children with disabilities through bibliographic research and data obtained in the field, through interviews that took place at the ADEFAL institution (Association of the Physically Disabled of Alagoas). Brazilian standards on playgrounds and accessibility were also studied. This information was fundamental for the analysis and diagnosis of urban playground equipment in Maceió, Alagoas. The data obtained served as a basis and parameters for the elaboration of product design requirements, in order to meet the needs identified in the immersion and problem analysis stage. As a result of the research of this Course Completion Work, three inclusive and accessible urban playground equipment were developed, having the Alagoas Folguedos as a central theme.
