Architectonic barriers in Ciutadella
What are they?
• Architectonic barriers are urban impediments for disabled people. We would refer to blinds or people who go on a wheelchair.
• Let's see what happens in Ciutadella
Kinds of urban barriers
• Crosswalks without ramps
Shop entries without ramps
Streetlights and other barriers in the middle of the sidewalks
Barriers in buildings
• There are established standards for building, avoiding the barriers, but they aren’t always fulfilled. Some are:
1. Narrow doors
2. Stairs (no ramps, no elevators)
3. Unsuitable bathrooms
Transport barrires
• Transport barriers are those that prevent the disabled to use public transport
Conclusion
Society should be aware of barriers and prevent them from existing.
Institutions are responsible of it, but we can also help.
