Abstract
This dissertation analyzes the accessibility for people with physical disabilities to the Salvador beaches that integrates the most recent public policies aimed at the urbanization of the edge of the city. Discussing the issue of disability, we adopted the discuss about overcoming the biomedical model of disability for the social model, with a view to achieving a disability perspective as an attribute of the person. Continuing, we analyze the discussion about the development of normative protection for people with disabilities, as well as respect for their basic rights, such as leisure and accessibility, considering that access to beaches is the main and least expensive leisure in the city of Salvador. We analyzed the possibility of access of people with physical disabilities to these spaces, with interviews and direct observation, noting the lack of accessibility in all beaches visited. As a result, we identified the reality of lack of accessibility for people with physical disabilities on the beaches of Salvador, reflected by the presence of few public facilities in these places, thus expressing a merely formal accessibility, as well as a different perception about “attending beaches” for these people, to consider the access to the spaces attached to the beaches as an effective access of these places.
