ABSTRACT

The present work will convey an approach linked to the right of people to the city, particularly those with some physical limitation, who deserve their right to universal access to urban spaces and information guaranteed through the installation of adequate signs that allow autonomy without restrictions to public spaces. Our focus are the problems related to the issue of mobility, in particular the obstacles faced in the movement of people with disabilities or reduced mobility in urban space. The proposition presented during this work derives from the execution of the Project Ponto Certo, whose main purpose is to give visibility to these problems by analyzing the accessibility conditions at bus stops in the city of Salvador, state of Bahia, using geotechnologies through digital cartography and geographic information systems (GIS).
