The questionnaire is designed for people with mobility disabilities to answer. However, we welcome carers/attendants, family or friends completing the survey based on the needs of those who require accessible accommodation that they travel with. For example, if you are a parent of a child with a disability you should answer the questionnaire based on the access needs of your child.

Your participation in this study is highly valued whether you travel frequently or not.

The questionnaire will take about 15 minutes to complete.

The research focuses on accessible rooms (sometimes referred to as 'disabled rooms') that accommodate people with mobility disabilities as designated under the Building Codes of Australia and the referenced Australian Standards for Access and Mobility (AS1428). This research does not exclude people with hearing, vision or other disabilities from completing the survey. However, other research is currently being conducted on the tourist experiences of people who are blind or vision impaired. In addition, the Hotel Motel Accommodation Association and the Deafness Forum announced in 2005 an industry agreement regarding the provision of accessible facilities for people who are Deaf or hearing impaired. We would welcome people with any disability completing the survey if they regularly use designated accessible rooms.

O curso História da Canção Brasileira tem por objetivo percorrer as trilhas do nosso repertório musical, explorando sua diversidade poética, rítmica, melódica, harmônica, interpretativa e até coreográfica. Nesta etapa, estudaremos a chamada Era de Ouro da MPB, período compreendido entre o final dos anos 20 e meados dos anos 50. Nele surgem artistas como Noel Rosa, Ary Barroso, Dorival Caymmi, Luiz Gonzaga, etc. Foi também nessa época que o rádio, o cinema, a indústria fonográfica e o carnaval moderno se desenvolveram, oferecendo condições para que a música popular brasileira, enfim, consolidasse sua posição como uma das manifestação artística mais representativa do país.
