Abstract

The present project intends to propose the development of a cycle tourist route accessible to people with disabilities in Inclusive Social Circus Park of the city of Cuenca. With the purpose of taking advantage of the qualities this park offers, because it constitutes an asset for citizens and similarly for all tourists who visit our city. Moreover, the park is surrounded by nature and the river Tarqui found around it, making this place even more welcoming, the Social Circus varies from the other parks because it makes it easier for people with different disabilities the full enjoyment of their facilities ranging from its games, paths with ramps that allow easy access, including its major attraction that are accessible bicycles, thus giving an inclusive approach to place. It is important to note that the present work aims to contribute to the reduction of accessibility barriers that disabled people face day to day, supporting a good quality of life without barriers. Within the proposal is developed the conceptualization of inclusive tourism, disabilities, or places with accessible spaces, the legal framework; the current situation of Social Circus was also diagnosed and the routing is applied to people with disabilities. With the proposal of this cycle path alternative spaces of interest will be accessible, which may be visited by persons not only with motor disability but also for people with various types of disabilities, resulting in a full inclusion, this route also aims to promote the facilities of this park since many people are unaware of the place as such, and it is finally looking to revive the use of the inclusive bike, offering a different alternative of recreation, thus it opens the doors to accessibility and a dignified quality of life for all.
