Abstract

This article evaluatively discusses accessibility as an important dimension of urban mobility, considering it as a public problem (Dewey, 1927; Blumer, 1971), based on a case study of its quality for people with physical disabilities, within the scope of the Federal District Urban Transport Program, with regard to road e subway transport. From the method's point of view, it was an axiological evaluation, based on values ​​(Fischer, 2016; Boullosa, 2017; 2019), for having sought to reveal the matrix of values ​​involved in the process of providing and using such services. Context analysis, semi-structured and structured interviews (questionnaire type) were used, whose findings were treated based on the similitude analysis (with the aid of the IramuteQ software) and descriptive statistics. As a result or evaluative synthesis, there was a high incongruity and disagreements between the values ​​present in the perceptions of the different actors, which seems to be strongly related to the management model “transversal response, without coordination” of accessibility for people with physical disabilities.
