A ACESSIBILIDADE E O CUMPRIMENTO DAS NORMAS JURÍDICAS: ESTUDO DE CASO DAS UNIDADES JUDICIÁRIAS DO PODER JUDICIÁRIO DO ESTADO DE GOIÁS

Abstract

According to data from the 2010 Census of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), about 23.9% of Brazilians have some type of disability. In the Center-West region of Brazil, the percentage is of 1.7%. These data reveal the importance of accessibility for the complete exercise of the citizenship of people with disabilities. Thus, based on the assumption that accessibility is a right guaranteed by the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988 - this right can’t be limited by urbanistic conceptions that don’t take into account the diversity of people, and the Public Power should provide the necessary means to ensure it -, this study aims to verify if the judicial units of the Court of Justice of Goiás, under the aspect of its infrastructure, are accessible to people with physical, visual and hearing disabilities or reduced mobility. In this way, the dissertation discusses the historical evolution of the aspects that involve those disability in the world and in Brazil, specially the physical one, considering the scope of this work and the influence of the built space on the life of these people, as well as a discussion about the rules related to accessibility and its effectiveness in Brazil. The methodology used is consisted of a revision of the legislation; in the research on accessibility, human and fundamental rights, public space and in the elaboration of a questionnaire associated to the field study, which permitted to identify and describe the level of accessibility in the dependencies of the judicial units of the Court of Justice of the State of Goiás. The obtained data were analyzed according to the method of Clustering k-means, which allowed to classify and analyze the judicial units in three distinct clusters, under the aspect of similarity between them. The results of this work made it possible to identify which clusters presented the best level of accessibility in the aspects of furniture, internal access, training, infrastructure, parking and external mobility. In this sense, the judicial units of cluster 1 presented a greater level of accessibility; the cluster 2 units presented a lower level of accessibility and those of cluster 3 presented a level of accessibility that was balanced. The results were corroborated by the field research, which sought to verify the conditions of the Annex I building of the Court of Justice, the New Civil Forum of Goiânia and the Forum of the district of Corumbá de Goiás. At the end of the research, it was verified, in synthesis, the need for greater oversight of the execution of works and reforms of judicial units, so that these environments can give people with disabilities or with reduced mobility autonomy and independence.
