Problems of adaptation of the architectural environment of transportation infrastructure for people with disabilities

Abstract

The article considers the problems of adapting the architectural environment of the transport infrastructure for people with disabilities. One of the tasks of modern urban planning and architecture is the creation of a humane barrier-free environment. When designing transport infrastructure objects, namely modern multimodal complexes, it is necessary to create equal conditions for receiving services for all categories of the population. People with disabilities in our country, unfortunately, do not have the opportunity to lead a full-fledged lifestyle due to infrastructural limitations. Moreover, after the war, the number of less mobile population groups will increase and will consist mostly of still young, active and ambitious people, full of desire to live and develop, and who will look for the possibility of affordable movement for their own fulfillment. Due to the existing aggressive urban environment with many obstacles, people with disabilities have practically become prisoners of their apartments and houses, which provokes depression, domestic conflicts, and prevents them from exercising their desire to be full members of society. Therefore, in a modern city, it is especially important to support the desire of people with disabilities to live actively and overcome the difficulties that life and war have put before them. For this, first of all, it is necessary to develop "accessible" transport for people with limited mobility, its accompanying environment, and also to ensure that there are no insurmountable obstacles on the way to them. The article presents an analysis of the legislative framework of Ukraine, which describes measures implemented since 2014 by the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine together with the National Assembly of People with Disabilities of Ukraine. The main requirements, which must be observed by projects of transport facilities and measures aimed at the organization of unhindered receipt of services, are indicated.
