Acessibilidade nas vias públicas e nas edificações das repartições públicas no município de Luziânia

Abstract

In the last years the term accessibility started to be more publicized, what induces us to think that there is an effective concern with the inclusion of people who have some kind of special need or that present reduced mobility due to some other health problem or even due to age. In this sense, we set out to evaluate whether the public streets and buildings, especially where public agencies are installed, were built or adapted so that they can provide the same accessibility conditions to all citizens, regardless of any physical limitation. We then present the result of an analysis made in the city of Luziânia-GO, starting with our campus, from the observation and evaluation of the facilities, transportation routes and buildings, in order to verify if the means of accessibility provide inclusion and comfort to the residents and visitors of the city. We based our research on federal laws and norms, as well as on local norms, made available by the city hall. Our results, from observations and records, corroborate our perception that there are serious accessibility problems in our municipality and, even though some improvements have been made that indirectly impact accessibility conditions, there is still much to be observed and corrected.
