ACESSIBILIDADE NOS ESPAÇOS URBANOS: Estudo de caso das calçadas e praças do centro de Alterosa MG

Abstract

The accessibility theme has been gaining more and more space in society, since in recent years the legislation is more active due to the approval of several laws that protect the rights of the population. These laws establish criteria for the implementation and readjustment of public roads in terms of accessibility. However, there are still many architectural barriers, poor conservation of roads and sidewalks, lack of signage among other problems. In view of what was mentioned, this study aimed to analyze the streets and squares of the Alterosa MG center, in order to identify and point out flaws or the lack of accessibility, and to elaborate a proposal for improvements in these places, with NBR as the main guiding principle. 9050/2004, which was updated in 2015. For this purpose, a bibliographic research was initially carried out on laws, standards, articles and books on the subject, shortly afterwards a survey was carried out on the conditions of infrastructure on sidewalks and squares in the municipality, later on once a detailed report was made with the problems encountered, solutions were also commented and presented for the most impacting points, and soon evolving to the final considerations.
