Acessibilidade em espaços públicos patrimônio da humanidade: diagnóstico da praça São Francisco em São Cristóvão, SE

A comprehensive assessment of São Francisco Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in São Cristóvão, SE, reveals significant accessibility gaps that hinder mobility for individuals with disabilities or reduced mobility. The study identifies critical barriers such as uneven sidewalks, inadequate ramps, and irregular paving, which pose safety risks and limit autonomy. Despite existing adaptations, these fail to meet national accessibility standards like NBR 9050, further exacerbated by disconnected pathways and lack of resting points for pedestrians. The research, combining bibliographic review and field observations including photographic documentation, underscores the urgent need for integrated urban interventions that balance heritage preservation with inclusive design. Collaboration among architects, urban planners, policymakers, and communities is highlighted as essential to achieving sustainable accessibility solutions.
