Barrier-free map of Ukraine: data on the accessibility of 70,000 facilities published

Accessibility of facilities in Ukraine

According to Мінцифра: The data of the Barrier-free Map has been published on the open data portal, containing information on the accessibility of 70,000 facilities in Ukraine. Among these facilities, one can find hospitals, shelters, and cafes that enable usage by people with disabilities.

Thanks to this data, Ukrainians can check the accessibility of locations and build convenient routes. Moreover, businesses and government institutions can use open data in their applications and on maps. Activists, in turn, have the opportunity to monitor the real state of barrier-free access in cities.

Importance of barrier-free data

This data is an important step towards ensuring accessibility for people with disabilities, as it allows not only to assess the availability of barrier-free facilities but also to actively influence their improvement. The implementation of the Barrier-free Map contributes to raising societal awareness of the needs of people with disabilities and can serve as a foundation for further initiatives in this area.
