Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method based on studies available in the literature and in the norms that regulate urban accessibility to analyze the problems of urban mobility faced by people with physical disabilities in cities of developing countries. To performing this analysis, we carried out a series of activities through participatory workshops and analysis of route services involving 29 people with physical disabilities or their companions. The results revealed some of the main problems of accessibility found in cities, new ways for tracing routes in map applications, considering accessibility aspects.
