Projeto de acessibilidade do sistema de sinalização da UTFPR campus Curitiba sede centro

Abstract

The Curitiba Campus Downtown Site of the Federal Technological University of Paraná – UTFPR is the oldest space of this century-old institution. Full of changes, expansions and spaces inserted according to the needs of the transformations that UTFPR has undergone in its history, getting around and locating on campus is not a simple task as well as making it accessible and suitable for people with disabilities. In response to these challenges, this work presents the development of a signage system focused on accessibility for the Curitiba Campus Downtown Site of UTFPR. Using the methodology for the signage design presented by D’Agostini and the steps proposed by it, a survey of the demands of the environment, users and the institution was carried out, while still in the planning stage. This survey of demands was then deepened through a robust analysis of information about the campus, its users and its needs, limitations, behavior and ergonomic demands, combined with the review of regulations and technical standards. Requirements were then defined for the design of a signaling system that met all community requirements and that was accessible, simple, and easily implementable at the university. The results obtained were documented through a guide that gathers information about accessibility in signage systems and the details necessary for reproduction, implementation and expansion of this system.
