Summary: This work aims to understand and reflect geographically on the issues of people
with disabilities, such as ableism, as a form of oppression and violence against
people with disabilities, and accessibility, relating to the possible exclusion from
public, cultural and leisure spaces in Região Metropolitana da Grande Vitória
(RMGV). This work begins by presenting the political and academic context and
the conceptual universe, then presents the methodology and finally the results
and discussions of the research. In order to achieve the objective, two stages of
direct research were carried out with the participants, both in a virtual
environment, one by means of a questionnaire (10 people responded) and the
other by means of a semi-structured interview (6 people agreed to take part in
the interviews). The entire methodological process for the construction of this
work is based on my identity as a person with disabilities, each stage and
process is directly related to my life experiences. The choice of online
interviews arises from my inability to travel constantly, as well as being an
important accessibility resource for the people with disabilities interviewed,
since they would not need to move. The work does not conclude in a closed
way, but opens up new possibilities for thinking about ableism from a
geographical perspective, analyzing socio-spatial aspects, realizing that ableism
generates places of exclusion, making it impossible for people with disabilities
to exercise their rights fully and effectively.
