The present study maps and analyzes the qualified scientific production of the last decade in the area of accessibility in the built environment, a theme of great importance in the conjuncture of architecture allied to the quality of life and social experiences. From the study and data collected based on the editions of the ‘Encontro Nacional de Ergonomia do Ambiente Construído e Seminário Brasileiro de Acessibilidade Integral’ (ENEAC) – an important meeting conference about the subject – and the review of many national and international journals, it was possible to delimit the recurrence of authors, themes and objects of study in the qualified publications analyzed about accessibility. This cataloguing of the production allowed the creation of a time and performance line of the publications throughout the period of time established in this research, as well as the making of a map locating the areas in Brazil that publish the most about the theme. The results of the research reveal a centralization of most of the production cataloged in a few universities, which can also be associated to the agglomeration of the poles of production about accessibility in only 2 regions of the country. Besides that, this research managed to point out explicit differences between the production and the most usual subjects of the publications in Brazil and other international countries.
