ExclusiveA tale of five rooms

On 14 October 2024, the National Council held a consultation on mobility and web accessibility for people with disabilities and the elderly, where a plan for a single national platform "The Story of Five Spaces" was presented. The platform, funded by the Ministry of Environment, Climate and Energy, will bring together data on accessibility of indoor spaces, the outdoor built environment, online content, on-call transport and home exercise technologies. The aim is to improve quality of life by providing better access to services and information. The event highlighted the importance of including people with disabilities and older people in society and the need for accessible infrastructure for all.

Kako morajo biti oblikovane kontrastne oznake na steklenih površinah?

Kontrastne oznake na steklenih površinah morajo biti oblikovane kot trakovi, ki so v dobrem kontrastu z okolico (okoliškimi površinami), na njih pa so lahko tudi grafični elementi, kot npr. logotip. Priporočljivo je, da so trakovi dvobarvni, izbrane barve pa so med seboj kontrastne. Glavna vloga kontrastnih oznak na steklenih površinah je namreč preprečevanje trka slepih in slabovidnih oseb, ki bi lahko steklene površine, zaradi svetlobe, odsevov, zamenjale za prost prehod.

Kolikšna mora biti minimalna širina steklene stene ob steklenih vratih, da mora biti označena s kontrastnimi oznakami?

Zakonodaja ne definira minimalne širine steklene stene ob steklenih vratih, ki mora biti označena s kontrastnimi oznakami. Menimo, da je nujnost teh oznak odvisna predvsem od situacije, kje in kako so steklene površine umeščene v prostor in kako so izvedene. Če obstaja možnost, da lahko slepa ali slabovidna oseba zamenja fiksno zasteklitev ob vratih za vhod oz. prost prehod, je namestitev kontrastnih oznak nujna.
