Proposição da ferramenta de avaliação de acessibilidade em banheiros públicos, aplicado ao bloco O do IFBA – Campus Salvador

Abstract

Accessibility is the power that allows society to include all those who are part of it in a single state of stability, allowing them to fully enjoy their rights and allowing them to adequately fulfill their duties. The Federal Constitution of 1988 aims to guarantee the social and fundamental rights of each individual, serving all individuals, without distinction. In this sense, NBR 9050 (abnt, 2020) is the main current standard that deals with accessibility in spaces, buildings, furniture and urban equipment, that is, one of the main documents when it comes to the built environment. Based on this context, this work aims to create a checklist for evaluating public bathrooms and access areas, subsequently applying this methodology to the bathrooms in block O of the Federal Institute of Bahia – Salvador campus. To this end, a compilation of the normative precepts for the aforementioned environments was made and after this stage, an on-site assessment was carried out, accompanied by photographic records. After completing the evaluation of the bathrooms and access environments, it was found that there were some deviations from compliance in relation to the current standard NBR 9050 (abnt, 2020), in which case there was a need for adaptations to meet the required requirements.
