Description
Commitment ID
AMVDR0003
Commitment Title
Providing information on access to special conditions of community facilities for people with disabilities.
Problem
People with disabilities sometimes avoid visiting the places, because they have no idea about the access to ramps or lifts in the facilities. With this commitment, it is proposed to post a map on the websites of the municipalities, where information on the availability of all buildings/structures will be available, which will help people with mobility difficulties (disabilities) to know in advance what level of accessibility is in the building before their visiting. The example was created within the initiative of the NGO Center (https://cutt.ly/YQsOxaW). Maps may also include access to audio information.
Status quo
At present, community residents have no idea about public building possibilities and availabilities. In particular, it is not known what facilities these buildings have for people with disabilities. Many people with disabilities did not attend public and private meetings because they don't know about the conditions in the building (stairs, elevators, platforms).
Action
Commitments will provide information on access to special conditions of community facilities for people with disabilities. This will increase public physical participation in community processes and decision-making actions.
How will the commitment contribute to solving the public problem described above?
Create city maps, or generate existing maps for community sites. Maps should reflect comprehensive information on community facilities, accessibility for people with mobility difficulties/disabilities. Residents will be informed whether the structure has ramps, appropriate elevators, and other facilities for people with mobility difficulties.
