MOBILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES MOTOR IN URBAN AREA THE MUNICIPALITY ITUMBIARA (GO)

Abstract

The conditions of mobility and accessibility of the urban area of a city are fundamental to the achievement of the freedom of the people, insofar as they influence the exercise of the right to come and go guaranteed by the current Federal Constitution. While walking the streets of Brazilian cities, however, what is noticeable are roads and public spaces without conditions of accessibility for individuals that have some type of limitation. In this context the present study is inserted, whose objective is to analyze the conditions of urban mobility of people with motor disabilities in the municipality of Itumbiara (GO). The research was carried out in a documentary manner, with survey, field and descriptive. As for the data collection, the sample is for accessibility, through the application of a questionnaire with closed questions. The research is with a qualitative approach through descriptive statistical analysis and, also, quantitative, having as instrument of data analysis the Independence Test (Chi-Square). The results show that the municipality of Itumbiara (GO) does not have a structure that provides adequate conditions of mobility and accessibility for people with disabilities. Several sidewalks and access ramps have irregularities, which makes it difficult for pedestrians to move, especially for people with some limitation. It is concluded, therefore, that the plans and projects for the urban area of the municipality of Itumbiara-GO are ineffective, as they do not ensure the mobility and the accessibility of people with motor disabilities.
