Abstract(s)
O Turismo Acessível para Todos atende ao desenvolvimento de atividades de lazer e tempo livre por todo o tipo de pessoas, independentemente das suas condições físicas, sensoriais, sociais ou culturais. Acontece que na sociedade há um conjunto de barreiras físicas que limitam a atividade turística das pessoas com mobilidade reduzida, sobretudo as com deficiência.
Os princípios do Design Universal devem incorporar-se no desenho urbano das cidades, na arquitetura dos edifícios, nos meios de transporte e nas tecnologias de informação e comunicação, de forma a promover a inclusão social e qualidade de vida de todos.
Com esta comunicação pretende-se apresentar a análise e o diagnóstico das condições de acessibilidade universal da rede de percursos pedonais, de interesse cultural, localizada no Centro Histórico da cidade de Faro. Pretende averiguar-se se as suas características físicas respeitam as exigências do Regime Jurídico Nacional da Acessibilidade.
O diagnóstico é concretizado através de um modelo de avaliação do grau de conformidade dos espaços considerando parâmetros de acessibilidade urbanística. A metodologia aplicada, através de um Sistema de Informação Geográfica, constitui um instrumento de apoio à decisão nos processos de regeneração urbana. Os resultados apontam para situações de inacessibilidade nos percursos culturais comprometendo os objetivos do turismo acessível e sustentável.
Accessible Tourism for All considers the development of leisure activities and free time by all types of people, regardless their physical, sensory, social or cultural conditions. It turns out that, in society, there is a set of physical barriers that limit the tourist activity of people with reduced mobility, especially those with disabilities. The principles of Universal Design should be incorporated into the urban design of cities, the architecture of buildings, the means of transportation and the information and communication technologies, in order to promote social inclusion and quality of life for all. This communication intends to present the analysis and diagnosis of the conditions of universal accessibility of a network of pedestrian routes, of cultural interest, located in the Historic Center of the city of Faro. It seeks to ascertain whether its physical characteristics comply with the requirements of the National Accessibility Legal Regime. The diagnosis is made through an evaluation model of the degree of conformity of the spaces considering parameters of urban accessibility. The applied methodology, through a Geographic Information System, is an instrument to support decision making in urban regeneration processes. The results point to situations of inaccessibility in cultural footways compromising the objectives of accessible and sustainable tourism.
