Accessibility for people with disabilities to extended spaces

Finished (2021) - Coordinated by Professor Cristiane Duarte, this research consists of mapping and diagnosing the conditions of Accessibility of People with Disabilities to Physical Spaces in cities. The main architectural and urban aspects involving accessibility and universal design are surveyed and analyzed, such as access and circulation; pedestrian crossings; high ranges; parking; maintenance and conservation of sidewalks under municipal legislation; street corners; pedestrian ramps, stairs, and walkways; urban furniture; urban signage and information; directional or warning tactile signaling; parks and squares; public spaces; tourist spots and public transport services accessible. Then, the second part of the research refers to the architecture and urban design itself. Based on the accessibility analyzes of the previous phase, it is proposed to adapt and/or design inclusive spaces that allow the mobility of people with physical, sensory, and intellectual disabilities or people with reduced mobility, avoiding accessibility barriers by the accessibility rules and laws existing in the country.
