Proposição de modelo para escolha de rotas urbanas acessíveis considerando-se os critérios de microacessibilidade para as pessoas com deficiência motora

Abstract

The present study is about the accessibility of the transport not-motorized, as walk, having considered criteria established from the concept of Universal Design. In the literature revision, a new referencial theoretical was found and used later as a starting point for the formulation of a method. This was capable to allow the proposal of accessible minimum routes in a specific area of Fortaleza´s city center. For in such a way, it was defined accessibility´s indicators and its respective weights making possible, thus, the development of a representative function of the phenomenon microaccessibility in the sidewalk and a qualitative analysis of the chosen area. Such function was called as accessibility index, which was inserted in the architecture of a SIG-T (System of Geographic Information applied to the Transports). Believing that the relative importance, that each accessibility´s indicator represents on others, must be determined by that uses the ways of circulation to walk, that is, the sidewalk, the group of pedestrians that presents the most physical limitation was interviewed, the people with motor deficiency. In parallel, a physical survey of the area chosen in Fortaleza´s city center was carried through to verify the occurrence of the accessibility´s indicators in the stretches of sidewalk leading in consideration the parameters preset for ABNT 9050 in relation to the circulation necessities of wheels chair´s users. The data also collected had been inserted in the SIG-T so that it was possible, at last, to classify such stretches in service levels. One expects here to contribute with the identification of accessible urban pedestrian passages, over all to that one who presents motor deficiency or reduced mobility, allowing, thus, an orientation of the accessible passages under the optics of the road infrastructure.
