ESTUDO DE CASO SOBRE ACESSIBILIDADE EM ESCOLA MUNICIPAL, COLATINA-ES

Abstract

Social inclusion is still a challenge for society and its establishment requires profound changes involving professionals from different areas. In architecture, the effectiveness of architectural accessibility has made significant progress, with increased knowledge and awareness, however, there are a lot to be done. Considering the obligation of schools to receive students with special educational needs, the school building gains relevance as an instrument of social inclusion and needs to undergo adaptations. This work, the result of a research with a scientific initiation completed, evaluates the accessibility in a primary school of the municipal network of ColatinaES, through a Post-Occupancy Assessment (APO), with the tools: walkthrough, built, checklist and interviews. From the analysis of the collected data, a high degree of inadequacy of the school space was verified. The impacts of this lack of accessibility can generate marks, such as the feeling of not belonging, especially in students who have special needs. This study contributes to the reflection in the academic and social scope, besides presenting guidelines for adequacy of the analyzed space.
