Estudo de acessibilidade das UBS e USF do município de Pompéia – São Paulo

Abstract

The importance of the accessibility of public spaces has grown to be considered a relevant topic nowadays. That relevance is translated through the creation and improvement of laws and regulations which offer people with disabilities a higher level of autonomy in their daily life. This undergraduate thesis aims to verify the internal and external areas of the healthcare units in Pompéia, a city in the state of São Paulo, in terms of accessibility of the spaces and implementation regarding the NBR9050:2020. To achieve this goal, a checklist was produced, using the NBR 9050:2020 legislation. The checklist was then used during the field visits, in order to catalog the irregularities found in the buildings of the healthcare units. The result of this research points that most of the healthcare units in the city of Pompéia are not in accordance with the Brazilian Association for Technical Standards’ (ABNT) guidelines - which states that public buildings need to be accessible for people with different disabilities. This paper is concluded with suggestions and commentaries on how to adequate the healthcare units in question, so that the spaces become accessible and inclusive for all.
