RESUMO:

As a result of a long historical-cultural construction of conventions about acceptable standards of "normality" of the human body, the brazilian cities have developed for people in the physical fullness, for the standard man, where their spaces exclude those who have physical restrictions of mobility, especially the persons with disabilities. The brazilian city of Natal also reproduced this logic, where its sidewalks, streets, urban spaces, aspects and general structures of the public transport system manifest several physical and attitudinal barriers that generate the urban segregation of those who cannot transpose these obstacles by reason of their physical limitations. All this in disagreement with the constitutional right of “to come and go” and with the wide legislation that deals of the accessibility in Brazil. Therefore, this dissertation aimed to know the vision of the main social agents directly involved with the issue of accessibility in Natal about the possible reasons of noncompliance of the brazilian laws of accessibility in this city. It is an applied research, with a predominantly qualitative approach, that used in the technical procedure: documentary research, bibliographic survey in authors as Garcia (2012), Lippo (2012), Cambiaghi (2012), Harvey (2014) and Gehl (2015), and the application of interviews to twenty four persons who have direct relationship or interfaces with the accessibility distributed in six groups composed of public and private agents, with the purpose of knowing the reasons that lead this city to not complying the brazilian laws and norms of accessibility, and the collected data were analyzed through the inductive method. At the end of this research, it was verified that there are strong indications that such problem is due, among other factor, to the fact that the municipal public administration of Natal focuses its interventions in isolated aspects of the city, but not in all those that integrate the logistics cycle of locomotion of people with disabilities or reduced mobility that use the public transport system, generating then "islands of accessibility" within a predominantly inaccessible city.
