OLIVEIRA, Josildete Pereira de; FRANZEN, Letícia Indart  e  VARELLA, Bruna Górski. ACCESSIBILITY AS A QUALITY CRITERA OF THE TOURISM SPACE: A CASE STUDY OF THE CEDNTRAL AREA OF BALNEÁRIO CAMBORIÚ-SC. Tur., Visão e Ação [online]. 2016, vol.18, n.3, pp.660-689. ISSN 1983-7151.  http://dx.doi.org/10.14210/rtva.v18n2.p660-689.

This study focuses on the accessibility of public spaces of the city for tourist use by people with limited mobility or disabilities. The article analyzes accessibility following the urban redevelopment of the central area of Balneario Camboriú/SC (a major tourism destination on the coast of the South of Brazil), considering the necessary adaptations for people with reduced mobility and disabilities established in the laws and regulations. This study seeks to relate the concepts of urban tourist space and accessibility, through a literature review, thus forming a theoretical and conceptual framework. A qualitative analysis of an exploratory and descriptive nature was conducted, to map the accessibility of the touristic space and the facilities of this area of the city, highlighting the areas that have recently undergone urban redevelopment. Next, a systematization and analysis of the collected data was carried out, correlating them with the theoretical and conceptual framework. The results indicate that in terms of accessibility, the quality of the urban touristic space of the city, is still not complete and continuous, and does not guarantee autonomy and independence for people with reduced mobility and disabilities. It is therefore concluded that the urban adaptations were not fully executed in accordance with NBR9050, and do not fully promote accessible routes for these people, and their inclusion in the urban space.
