A atividade turística desenvolve-se, na contemporaneidade, como um fenômeno que desloca um grande volume de pessoas que saem de sua rotina diária, em busca de novas experiências, cumprindo o turismo um papel na qualidade de vida do indivíduo. Diferente de um pensamento de outrora, algumas políticas do turismo do nosso tempo procuram assumir uma postura de maior inclusão, oportunizando grupos omitidos a participarem de atividades ligadas ao turismo, em destaque as pessoas com deficiência (PcDs). Enquanto circunstância essencial para a inclusão das PcDs, a acessibilidade e suas dimensões, em conjunto com o Desenho Universal e a Tecnologia Assistiva, permitem a todos e também às pessoas com deficiência alcançar, adentrar e usufruir espaços, produtos e serviços com autonomia e segurança. Esta realidade carece de estudos que venham averiguar a relação turismo e acessibilidade, por meio do conhecimento produzido nas academias de ensino. Desta forma, esta dissertação tem como objetivo principal, elaborar uma análise teórica sobre o turismo e acessibilidade nos cursos de pós-graduação (stricto sensu) no Brasil, entre os anos de 1987 a 2016, com foco na produção de teses e dissertações neste período. Para alcançar os objetivos propostos, esta investigação valeu-se de um levantamento e de revisão bibliográfica acerca das temáticas propostas e análise das produções acadêmicas (Teses e Dissertações). Como resultados, levantou-se e inventariou-se 98 teses e dissertações produzidas em IES no Brasil, que demostraram uma similaridade entre acessibilidade e turismo, no que tange à multidisciplinaridade e à interdisciplinaridade com as outras áreas de conhecimento. A acessibilidade associada ao conteúdo de turismo somente é estudada após os anos 2000, denotando certa jovialidade no desenvolvimento deste tema na produção do conhecimento. Por fim, percebeu-se que a acessibilidade é apoiada por uma ampla legislação, entretanto, em grande parte, estas leis são ignoradas ou desconhecidas pelos diversos stakeholders envolvidos, resultando em exclusão e preconceitos contra as pessoas com deficiência em diversos âmbitos da sociedade, assim como na atividade turística / The tourist activity develops in the contemporaneity as a phenomenon that displaces a great volume of people who leave their daily routine, in search of new experiences, fulfilling a role in the quality of life to the human being. Different from a thinking of a recent past, the tourism policy of nowadays strives to assume a posture of greater inclusion, giving opportunity of omitted groups to participate in activities associated to tourism, in particular the disabled people. As an essential circumstance for the inclusion of people with disabilities (PwD), the accessibility and its dimensions, together with universal design and assistive technology, allow everyone, as well, people with disabilities to reach, enter and enjoy spaces, products and services with autonomy and security. This reality lacks studies that come to ascertain the relation between tourism and accessibility through the knowledge produced in the postgraduate courses. Thus, this dissertation has as main objective, to elaborate a theoretical analysis on tourism and accessibility in postgraduate courses in Brazil between 1987 and 2016, encompassing the production of theses and dissertations in this period. In order to reach the proposed objectives, this investigation is supported by a bibliographic research of literature available, revision about the proposed themes and analysis of postgraduate productions (Theses and Dissertations). As a result, were analyzed 98 theses and dissertations produced in Postgraduate Education Institutions in Brazil that showed a similarity on study topics between accessibility and tourism in terms of multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity with other areas of knowledge. Studies on accessibility and tourism arises only after the 2000s, denoting a certain joviality in the development of this theme in the production of knowledge. Finally, its realized that accessibility is supported by broad legislation, but so far extent these laws are ignored or unknown by the various stakeholders involved, resulting in exclusion and prejudices against people with disabilities in various spheres of society, as well as in tourism

Resor har länge varit en del av människors liv och kan bidra till både välmående ochökad livskvalitet. Dock har inte alla samma förutsättningar när det kommer till attresa. Det gäller bland annat personer med funktionsnedsättningar. Trots att 15procent av världens befolkning tros leva med en funktionsnedsättning finns idagbegränsade möjligheter för dem att ta del av resor på lika villkor som andra. Detverkar gälla även inom Sverige. Resa utan hinder är med det sagt en studie inomforskningsområdet tillgänglig turism som avser att undersöka tillgängligheten inomden svenska besöksnäringen. I syfte att uppmärksamma eventuellaförbättringsområden utgår studien från hur personer med någon form avrörelsenedsättning uppfattar sina möjligheter att resa inom Sverige. Dessauppfattningar kartläggs med en enkätundersökning och används sedan som grund föratt presentera möjliga utvecklingsmöjligheter för den svenska besöksnäringen.Resultatet visar att personer med rörelsenedsättningar på grund av bristandetillgänglighet inte kan ta del av resor till den grad de önskar inom Sverige. Detframkommer att begränsningarna beror på bristfälligheter inom både besöksnäringenoch samhället i stort. Vidare uppmärksammas brister gällande den fysiska miljön,tillgång till tillförlitlig information samt negativa attityder. Med det som grundföreslås att den svenska besöksnäringen såväl som andra aktörer i samhället i enhögre grad bör prioritera tillgänglighet, förmedla mer tillförlitlig information,samarbeta, be om hjälp från sakkunniga, säkerhetsställa kompetensen hosmedarbetarna och göra rätt från början. / Due to accessibility barriers, people with disabilities do not have the sameopportunities to participate in tourism activities as others. This is a problem that canbe seen worldwide, with Sweden not being an exception. In this study, a survey hasbeen used to collect comprehensive data from people with mobility impairments inorder to identify possible improvements for the tourism industry in Sweden. Theresult shows that the barriers are mainly associated with the physical environment,access to information and attitudes. This in turns has contributed to suggestedimplications for both actors in the tourism industry and the society. The implicationsconcern prioritizing accessibility improvements, communicating reliableinformation, increasing co-operations, receiving inputs from experts, increasingcompetence among personnel and making right decisions from the start.

Att utöva turism- och fritidsaktiviteter är en väsentlig del i många människors liv, men för personer med funktionsnedsättningar (PmF) är genomförandet av sådana aktiviteter långt från lika självklara. Frågan om aktivt deltagande och inkludering av PmF i samhällets alla delar lyfts allt mer och kraven på tillgänglighet ökar. Därav syftar denna studie till att undersöka på vilka sätt turism- och aktivitetsföretag i Jämtlands län arbetar med att anpassa sina aktiviteter för att kunna inkludera individer med fysisk funktionsnedsättning. För att uppnå syftet var en kvalitativ ansats med semistrukturerade intervjuer studiens huvudsakliga metodologiska verktyg för insamling av empiriska data. Resultatet tyder på att majoriteten av verksamheterna inte erbjuder aktiviteter som är specifikt anpassade för PmF men att en del av utbudet går att kan anpassa om efterfrågan skulle uppstå. Marknadens efterfrågan styr verksamhetens utbud av aktiviteter och en bristande efterfrågan från PmF på tillgängliga aktiviteter har identifierats. Studiens slutsats beskriver att den bristande efterfrågan från PmF ligger till grund för det bristande utbudet av tillgängliga aktiviteter samt att verksamheterna anger resurser såsom kunskap och ekonomiska faktorer som utmanade vid utvecklingen av tillgänglighetsanpassade aktiviteter. / Tourism and leisure activities are an essential part of many people's lives, but for people with disabilities (PwD), their involvement can be highly conditional. The issue of active participation and the inclusion of PwD in all parts of society is increasingly being raised and the need for accessibility is growing. This study aims to investigate how tourism and activity companies in Jämtland County works to adapt and customize their activities to include individuals with physical disabilities. The study had a qualitative method with semi-structured interviews as the key focus for collecting empirical data. The result indicates that the majority of businesses do not currently offer activities that are specifically tailored to PwD, but for most of the companies these activities can be adjusted if there is a demand for it. Market demand controls the companies’ range of activities and a lack of demand from PwD for accessible activities has been identified. The conclusion describes that the absence of demand from PwD is the reason for the lack of accessible activities  and that the companies specify resources such as knowledge and financial factors as challenging for the development of accessible activities. / <p>2020-06-08</p>
