Sverige har länge varit ledande inom tillgänglighet. Genom införandet av begreppen ”tillgänglighet” och ”användbarhet” har man genom Plan- och bygglagen och Boverkets riktlinjer ställt krav på den fysiska miljön. Ca 7 000 barn i Sverige är rörelsehindrade. Ungefär hälften av dessa barn använder en rullstol. Trots att alla barn har rätt till lek, är det intressant att undersöka huruvida alla barn ges möjlighet att utnyttja denna rättighet. Efter att ha uppmärksammat Helsingborgs stads kreativa lekplatsbyggen, dök frågan kring huruvida alla barn har möjlighet att leka på dessa lekplatser, upp. Syftet med arbetet är att belysa vikten av tillgängliga lekplatser, samt att undersöka hur tillgängligheten på lekplatser kan förbättras och vilka anpassningar som krävs för att förbättra tillgängligheten för rullstolsburna barn. I detta arbete görs en litteraturstudie, med fokus på regelverk och litteratur kopplad till tillgänglighet. En fallstudie görs i form av platsbesök på 8 lekplatser i Helsingborg, som underlag för en jämförelse. En intervju görs med Johanna Elgström, landskapsarkitekt på Helsingborgs stad. Slutsatsen av detta arbete är att lekplatser där man fokuserat mer på tillgänglighet ofta är mer tillgängliga och användbara för barn i rullstol. Dock krävs incitament för att säkerställa en tillgänglig och användbar lekplatsmiljö, samt tydligare definition av dessa begrepp. Genom att ha en lekplats som är tillgänglig och användbar för de flesta, gynnas den sociala hållbarheten. Slutsatsen av detta arbete blir således att säkerställandet av tillgängliga och användbara lekplatser gynnar rullstolsburna barns möjlighet till socialt samspel. / Sweden is one of the leading countries when it comes to availability in the physical environment. Approximately 7 000 children in Sweden are disabled. Half of these children use a wheelchair. It is every child’s right to play, and it’s thereby interesting to know whether every child is given the opportunity to use a playground. In the county of Helsingborg there are playgrounds appealing to many children, although the question is whether every child is given the chance to play at these playgrounds. The aim of this study is to highlight the importance of availability at playgrounds and outline ways to improve the availability. The method used in this thesis is a literature study, focusing on legal framework and literature about availability, usability and playgrounds. The case study provides information about eight playgrounds in Helsingborg. There is also an interview with landscape architect Johanna Elgström. Playgrounds where availability has been prioritized are often more available and useable for wheelchair-bound children. Still, the legal framework is in need of a more precise definition of availability and usability to ensure that playgrounds are suitable for children using a wheelchair. The playgrounds that are more available and useable can favor children using a wheelchair and give them the opportunity to socially interact with other children.

From the case study of the central area of the city of Maceió, capital of Alagoas state, it discusses accessibility in urban areas using methods and techniques of the Post Occupancy experimental (APO). There has been reference to the understanding of the key theoretical and conceptual aspects of the theme of accessibility and universal design as well as the laws and standards in Brazil, particularly the Technical - NBR 9050 - implemented in Brazil in 1985 and their amendments, determining important parameters for accessibility projects. The article discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the study area from an assessment that involves different groups of users, to then make recommendations that can guide future interventions and enhance public spaces in central areas for individuals with disabilities and reduced mobility with an inclusive and sustainable way. / Este trabalho trata da acessibilidade das pessoas com deficiência e com mobilidade reduzida no espaço público das cidades brasileiras. A partir do estudo de caso da área central do município de Maceió, capital do estado de Alagoas, busca- se discutir a acessibilidade no espaço urbano por meio de métodos e técnicas da Avaliação Pós Ocupação (APO) investigativa. Tem-se como referência o entendimento dos principais aspectos teórico-conceituais que envolvem a temática da acessibilidade e do Desenho Universal, bem como as legislações e normas brasileiras, particularmente a Norma Técnica - NBR 9050 - implementada no Brasil em 1985 e suas respectivas alterações, que determina importantes parâmetros para projetos de acessibilidade. Busca-se discutir os pontos positivos e negativos da área em estudo a partir de uma avaliação que envolve diferentes grupos de usuários, para em seguida propor recomendações que podem orientar futuras intervenções e valorizar os espaços públicos de áreas centrais em relação às pessoas com deficiência ou com mobilidade reduzida de modo inclusivo e sustentável.

This Master´s thesis is focused on block of flats project documentation. The documentation is worked for building construction. Emphasis is placed on structural, space, fire safety, thermal and acoustic requirements. Masonry building is secluded and has four floors, without cellared, with a gabled roof. The building is designed with eight flats and one of these flats is designed for persons with reduced mobility.
