Engellilerin yapılı çevrede karşılaştıkları engelleri saptamak ve gidermek için bir araç seti: Slovenya örneği, Avrupa

A toolkit for detecting and eliminating the barriers that people with disabilities face in the built environment: The case of Slovenia, Europe

Erişilebilir yapılı çevre, engelli bireylerin en önemli haklarından birisidir. Bu, onların topluma eşit ve etkin katılımlarını sağlar. Bu nedenle, yapılı çevrede bulunan tüm ayrımcı unsurları gidermek ve çeşitli engelleri ve diğer sınırlamaları ortadan kaldırmak amacıyla birçok yasa ve yönetmelik kabul edilmiştir. Bu makale, yazarın geçmişte yürüttüğü, şimdiye kadar bu amaçları uygulamaya geçirmek konusunda çok az şey yapıldığını ve engellilerin ulaşılabilir yapılı çevreye katılım hakkının hala sağlanamadığını gösteren çalışmalarının bulgularından gelişmiştir. Bu nedenlerden dolayı, alan çalışması temelinde yeni bir araç seti (toolkit) geliştirilmiştir; bu makale, önerilen araç setinin kanunların uygulanması aşamasında karar vericilerin engellilerin yapılı çevreye tam olarak erişebilmelerini garanti etmek konusundaki etkinliklerine katkı sağlayabilecek kapsamlı bir araç olduğunu göstermektedir. Araç setinin gelişimi, yapılı çevrenin engelliler için erişebilir olması konusundaki birçok sorumlulukların pratikte gerçekleşmesinde önemli bir aşamadır. Bu aracın en temel özelliği, erişebilirlik hakkındaki bilgiye kısıtlamasız ve kullanıcı dostu (user-friendly) bir yaklaşımla ulaşımı, erişebilirliği sağlamak için kamusal katılımı ve yapılı çevrede bulunan engelleri kaldırmak için sürekli izleme ve aktif bir eylem alanı sağlamasıdır. Diğer taraftan, bu araç setinin en değerli yanı onun farklı toplumlar için dönüştürülebilir ve geniş bir uygulama ağına sahip olmasıdır.
