Avaliação Da Acessibilidade Em Edificação: Estudo De Caso No Terminal Rodoviário De Palmas

Abstract

The road transport of passengers is the most used in Brazil and the system is made up of roads and road and urban embarkation and disembarkation points. Among all these, the bus terminals are the ones that have a complex infrastructure and need more adequate equipment to serve everyone without distinction. Considering that the public served in this space also includes the population with some type of mobility limitation, the general objective of this research was to evaluate the accessibility conditions of the environments at the Bus Terminal of Palmas. This verification was based on the determinations of NBR 9050:2020. The items evaluated in the terminal environments were parking, considering the space for people with reduced mobility; the conditions of external circulation, considering the existence of ramps and tactile warning floor; the conditions of internal circulation, considering the furniture, equipment and toilets. The methodology consisted of the following steps: information collection, accessibility evaluation form, interview with users with reduced mobility and disabilities. As a conclusion of this work, some interventions were proposed according to the requirements of NBR 9050:2020 and ANTT's Accessibility Booklet. The Accessibility Index and the Relevance Degree were the references used to calculate and classify the level of accessibility of the analyzed building. As a result of these calculations, it was possible to verify that the Bus Terminal of Palmas partially meets the requirements of NBR 9050:2020. The work also foresees that some interventions in the building environments must be carried out to improve the accessibility conditions, as well as the adequacy of the size and maintenance of the horizontal signage present in the special parking space, ramp reforms with slope adjustments, floor installation directional and warning in the internal environments, modification of the architectural layout of the sets of toilets.
