Na Urbanističnem inštitutu Republike Slovenije smo pripravili informativno zloženko v okviru projekta Vseslovenska akcija ozaveščanja o socialnem vključevanju invalidov in Nacionalne svetovalne in informacijske točke. Zloženka je namenjena lastnikom, upraviteljem in najemnikom objektov v javni rabi, pa tudi širši javnosti, ki se želi seznaniti s pomembnostjo univerzalne dostopnosti. 

Pri premostitvi višinskih razlik v objektu pogosto mislimo le na večje ovire, spregledamo pa manjše, a prav tako pomembne težave – previsoke ali nekontrastne pragove in robove. Že nekaj milimetrov višinske razlike lahko invalidskim vozičkom onemogoči prehod, slabovidnim pa predstavlja nevarnost spotika.

Oznake sob v nastanitvenih objektih so pogosto neustrezne za slepe in slabovidne goste, saj so številke previsoko nameščene, premajhne, premalo kontrastne ali netipne. Dober primer rešitve najdemo v enem izmed hotelov na Gorenjskem, kjer imajo vhode v sobe označene s svetlobnimi in reliefnimi oznakami, kar omogoča lažjo orientacijo.

Univerzalno dostopen fitnes ni le prostor za vadbo, temveč tudi prostor, kjer se vsi uporabniki počutijo dobrodošle in enakopravne. Ker slovenska zakonodaja še ne določa smernic za dostopne fitnese, smo na Urbanističnem inštitutu Republike Slovenije pripravili ključna priporočila za njihovo ureditev.

Za osebe z oviranostmi je ustrezno načrtovan blagajniški prostor ključnega pomena. Dobra osvetlitev, prilagodljivi POS terminali, pravilna višina pultov in tekočih trakov in jasni prikazovalniki cen lahko bistveno izboljšajo nakupovalno izkušnjo. 

The National Action on the Social Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities project, led by NSIOS, promotes the inclusion of people with different forms of disabilities in society. As a project partner, the Urban Planning Institute of the Republic of Slovenia is assessing the accessibility of 100 buildings in public use that are all benefit providers for EU Disability card holders, raising awareness among owners and building managers, and informing people with disabilites on how to access those buildings and plan their visits to the providers.

Correct shelf positioning, aisle widths and paths of movement between shelves are key to ensuring the accessibility of shops. Adaptations such as lower shelves and wider aisles make shopping easy for all, regardless of handicaps.

Accessibility of grocery shops for people with disabilities is key to their equality and independence. However, Slovenian legislation lacks clear guidelines on how to ensure such accessibility, and the Law on Equalisation of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (LOPD) dictates that by the end of 2025, grocery stores must also be universally accessible. The Urban Institute of the Republic of Slovenia has therefore developed recommendations for the physical accessibility of grocery stores in cooperation with students with disabilities.
