Zero Project - Conference 2012
… and how it happened …
![Page 26: Conference Findings of the International Zero Project Report 2012 June 21, 2012 European Parliament, Brussels.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649dc05503460f94ab4937/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Indicators about accesibility
Accessibility of new buildings (question no. 1)
o 27 of 35 countries have legislation in place
o Among the “offenders”: Hungary, Sweden
o Confined to “reasonability”
o Law does not mean Practice
o Sanctions? In Austria only “damage compensation”
but nur right to accessibility
![Page 27: Conference Findings of the International Zero Project Report 2012 June 21, 2012 European Parliament, Brussels.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649dc05503460f94ab4937/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Indicators about accesibility
Legal time frame for accessibility to buildings where there
is public access (question no. 2)
o Only 8 countries have such legislation in place (Bulgaria,
Netherlands, Ireland, Slovenia, United Kingdom or Turkey
(deadline was 2011!)
o In most countries accessibility has only to be established
during renovation (Italy) or only to some buildings or for
some disabilities.
o In Austria: until end of 2015, ministries can “opt” for an
extension until 2019 (for budget reasons)
![Page 28: Conference Findings of the International Zero Project Report 2012 June 21, 2012 European Parliament, Brussels.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649dc05503460f94ab4937/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Indicators about accesibility
Accessibility of medical practices (question no. 13)
o Several countries have, quite surprisingly, no rules at all
(Albania, Bosnia but also France and Germany) – but of
course related to general accesibility regulations
o Regulation differs from practice also in the medical practice
o Similar issues exist with the accessibility of pharmacies
(study of 2010)
![Page 29: Conference Findings of the International Zero Project Report 2012 June 21, 2012 European Parliament, Brussels.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649dc05503460f94ab4937/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Indicators about accesibility
Education/Training of architects (study 2010)
o There seems to be not one country where there is
an obligatory training/education for students in
architecture when it comes to accessibility
o The same is true for engineering and planning
companies, plumbers etc (not asked but always
mentioned by experts).
![Page 30: Conference Findings of the International Zero Project Report 2012 June 21, 2012 European Parliament, Brussels.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649dc05503460f94ab4937/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Indicators about accesibility
Accessibility of public buses (question no. 3)
o Only three countries have public buses that are accessible to
all those with disabilities (Israel, Netherlands, UK)
o In the vast majority of countries some buses are accessible
to some persons with disabilities.
o Training of staff is neglected in many countries, but most
important to certain persons with disabilities.
![Page 31: Conference Findings of the International Zero Project Report 2012 June 21, 2012 European Parliament, Brussels.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649dc05503460f94ab4937/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Indicators about accesibility
Accessibility of warning systems (question no. 3)
o In only three countries (Denmark, Netherlands, UK)
are the states`early warning systems also
accesible to all persons with disabilities.
o In some countries efforts are being made to deilver
visual warnings for deaf people, e.g. in Belgium.
![Page 32: Conference Findings of the International Zero Project Report 2012 June 21, 2012 European Parliament, Brussels.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649dc05503460f94ab4937/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Selected Good Practices
Examples regarding access to information and the internet

inclusive accessibility of the internet by informing, inspiring
and educating.
o Deaf and Hard of Hearing Clubs Association of Slovenia: A
Web-TV program, compiled and comprehensive
o Wheelmap.org (Germany): Accessibility Information for
wheelchair users in an interactive map, where everyone can
contribute personal experiences in their city
