Evaluación del grado de accesibilidad para las personas con discapacidad física y sensorial en la zona turística de la calle Panamá, barrio Las Peñas y Puerto Santa Ana.

Abstract

Accessible tourism has evolved in recent years, and the Nation must demand that space be dignified and optimal for all audiences; For this reason, the following project, "Evaluation of the degree of accessibility for people with physical and sensory disabilities in the tourist area of Calle Panamá, Barrio Las Peñas and Puerto Santa Ana" has the purpose of showing the gathering of data to demonstrate a betterment or a regression on implementing accessible tourism for the handicap. To fulfill this duty begins by showing the laws and articles that could validate accessible tourism. However, until today, no vigorous enforcement requires compliance with these standards. Because of this reason, a methodological tool has been created as a table based on the accessibility parameters shown in the different INEN Standards. The results of these evaluations were separated by sector and by type of disability in order to show which places are accessible and for which specific type of disability; Concluding that not ordering compliance with accessible requirements by obligation is the main problem, which has as a consequence that the sectors mentioned above still need to work on their infrastructure and customer service.
