2 INTRODUCTION Prague Organisation of Wheelchair Users Overcoming Barriers conception of barrier-free enviroment field mapping of accessibility professional expertise and technical/construction modifications drafts

3 TARGET GROUP Pavel Lupač, Budovy bez bariér, Grada 2010

4 CONCEPTUAL WORK nationwide network expert group uniform methodology for field mapping and outputs

5 METHODOLOGY accessibility rating from the user's perspective three-level categorization with set limits less strict than the current legislation

6 ACCESSIBLE LOCATION The entire location or its greater part is accessible, via at least one barrier-free entrance. There is no need to make prior arrangements for your visit. The maximum incline of ramps (mobile and permanent) both before the entrance and in the interior is: up to the length of 3 meters 12,5 %, up to the length of 9 meters 8 %. The minimum width of permanent ramps is 110 cm. The minimum width of doors and passages is 80 cm, this also applies to the main wing of double wing doors. The maximum height of thresholds is 2 cm. There is a self-operated lift available for overcoming height differences and its dimensions are at minimum: door width 80 cm, the inner dimensions of the cabin width 100 cm x depth 125 cm. [Locations with a platform stairlift / lift are not classified as accessible.] At locations with public toilets, an accessible toilet WC I. must be available, or if all other access requirements are met, then at least a partially accessible toilet - WC II. The surfaces or slopes of streets at the location and its immediate surroundings do not markedly complicate travelling in a wheelchair.

7 PARTIALLY ACCESSIBLE LOCATION Only part of the location is accessible, or the location does not meet some of the requirements stated under an accessible location. The requirements not met are described in the additional text. The maximum incline of ramps (mobile and permanent) both before the entrance and in the interior is: up to the length of 3 meters 16,5 %, up to the length of 9 meters 12,5 %. The minimum width of permanent ramps is 110 cm. The minimum width of doors and passages is 70 cm. The height of thresholds is between 2-7 cm. The minimum dimensions of a lift are: door width 70 cm, the inner dimensions of the cabin width 100 cm x depth 110 cm. The minimum dimensions of a platform stairlift/lift are: door width 70 cm, the transport platform dimensions width 70 cm x depth 90 cm. The weight capacity is stated in the additional text. Accessibility of toilets isn't a deciding factor here. [With regard to the current access situation in the Czech Republic, the requirement for availability of at least WC II. at partially accessible locations would lead to reclassifying most of these locations as inaccessible.] There is no more than one step without an equipment for surmounting it at the entrance to the location.

8 INACCESSIBLE LOCATION Access to or travelling within the location is particularly complicated (for a combination of different reasons).
