PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND THE RIGHT TO THE CITY: AN ANALYSIS OF THE URBAN MOBILITY PLAN IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF JOÃO PESSOA - PB
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. RIGHT TO THE CITY. URBAN MOBILITY. PUBLIC POLICIES ON URBAN MOBILITY.
The idea of the right to the city as a human right, in turn, was debated worldwide at the end of the 20th century, with the presentation of the World Charter for the Right to the City at the World Social Forum (2006), which highlighted the need to protect the rights of the man in the urban environment. The main objective of this research is to analyze the right to the city of people with disabilities and the Urban Mobility Plan in the city of João Pessoa - PB, and specifically to situate the historical evolution of the rights of people with disabilities in Brazil; situate the public policies that contribute to the maintenance of people with disabilities in society and finally analyze the urban mobility plan of João Pessoa - PB. When approaching the theme of the city, it is necessary to understand that the object of study is inserted in a completely multidimensional field that involves several legal, social and political interfaces. To substantiate the state of the art, we will use the main notions and theories about the city discussed by Henri Lefebvre and David Harvey and the contributions of Ermínia Maricato, Marcelo Lopes de Sousa, Amartyan Sen, Manuel Castells, and other authors who address issues related to democracy, development and public policies. The methodology used is documental, considering the official documents of the municipality and other special legislation that address the subject. Bibliographical research is also present given the vast literary collection on the right to the city, accessibility, inclusion and urban mobility. It appears that in Brazil, with the advent of Federal Law 10,587 of 2012, which instituted the National Urban Mobility Policy, it was possible to create mechanisms and guidelines for urban mobility, highlighting the development of the social functions of the city and its inhabitants. As well as that when a city establishes an urban mobility policy that aims to promote the right of all citizens as a form of human and social development of its citizens, it reduces the obstacles that prevent the individual from enjoying the public space and contributes to the incorporation of the Citizenship functions (Education, Health, Protection and Security) and Management Functions (Provision of Services, Planning, Preservation of Cultural and Natural Heritage and Urban Sustainability).
