Abstract

Osobe oštećena vida svakodnevno se suočavaju s nedostatkom pristupačnosti javnih površina kojima se kreću. Pristupačnost se dijeli u 3 kategorije: prostorna, komunikacijska i socijalna pristupačnost. Javne površine često su vrlo siromašne prostornim elementima pristupačnosti slijepim i slabovidnim osobama kao što su taktilne linije i kontrastne oznake, ali i prilagodbom materijala i informacija koje pripadaju prostornoj pristupačnosti. Kako bi osobe oštećena vida bile što više uključene u društveni život zajednice te postigle sigurnost, samostalnost i učinkovitost orijentacije i kretanja, nužno im je omogućiti pristupačnost javnih površina. Cilj rada bio je procijeniti i usporediti pristupačnost nekih javnih površina za kretanje osoba oštećena vida u gradovima Rijeci i Zagrebu pomoću Access4You upitnika za procjenu pristupačnosti građevina i procjenu vanjskog prostora. Nakon dobivenih rezultata, cilj je također dati prijedloge smjernica za prilagodbu procijenjenih prostora.
Istraživanjem je obuhvaćeno 8 javnih površina: Autobusni kolodvor Rijeka, Autobusni kolodvor Zagreb, Željeznički kolodvor Rijeka / Glavni željeznički kolodvor Zagreb, Zapadni trgovački centar (ZTC) Rijeka, Trgovački centar „Avenue Mall“ Zagreb, Klinika za oftalmologiju KBC-a Rijeka te Klinika za očne bolesti KBC-a Sestre milosrdnice Zagreb.
Rezultati su pokazali opću nepristupačnost javnih površina oba grada za kretanje osoba oštećena vida. Nešto više prostornih elemenata pristupačnosti taktilne prirode uočeno je ispred i unutar pojedinih javnih površina grada Zagreba u odnosu na javne površine grada Rijeke, dok kontrastne prilagodbe te prilagodba informacija izostaju u svim objektima pristupačnosti. Rezultati mogu poslužiti kao temelj za poboljšanje pristupačnosti ispitanih javnih objekata, ali i drugih objekata koji nisu uključeni u istraživanje.

Abstract (english)

Visually impaired people face a daily lack of accessibility to the public areas they move on. Accessibility is divided into 3 categories: spatial, communication and social accessibility. Public areas are often very poor in the spatial elements of accessibility to blind and partially sighted people such as tactile lines and contrast marks, but also by adapting materials and information belonging to spatial accessibility. In order for visually impaired people to be as involved as possible in the social life of the community and to achieve safety, independence and efficiency of orientation and movement, it is necessary to enable them to have access to public areas. The aim of the paper was to assess and compare the accessibility of some public areas for the movement of visually impaired people in the cities of Rijeka and Zagreb using the Access4You questionnaire for assessing the accessibility of buildings and the outdoor space. Following the results obtained, the aim is also to provide proposals for guidelines for the adaptation of the spaces assessed.
The research covers 8 public areas: Rijeka Bus Station, Zagreb Bus Station, Rijeka Railway Station /Zagreb Central Railway Station, Shopping Center ZTC Rijeka, Shopping Center „Avenue Mall“ Zagreb, Clinical Hospital Rijeka - Ophthalmology Clinic and Clinical Hospital Sisters of Mercy - Ophtalmology Clinic.
The results showed the general inaccessibility of the public areas of both cities for the movement of visually impaired people. Slightly more spatial elements of tactile nature accessibility were observed in front of and within individual public areas of the city of Zagreb in relation to the public areas of the city of Rijeka, while contrasting adjustments and adaptation of information are absent in all accessibility facilities. The results can serve as a basis for improving the accessibility of the public facilities surveyed, as well as other facilities not included in the survey.
