« Universal Building Design » will
not be measured only in term of
advantages and benefits for
persons with disabilities, but in
terms of general effects on a wider

Law 13/89: 3 degrees of accessibility
Accessibility,
the complete use of the built environment
immediately
Visitability,
the possibility to access the living areas and at least
one bathroom in each building unit
Adaptability, or postponed accessibility,
the possibility to change the space at a low cost to
make it accessible throughout if the need arises in
future.

LEGISLATION FRAMWORK:
STRENGHTNESS at national level
• Using laws as a useful tool for a wider
environmental usability and social inclusion
• activating a planning process which gradually
leads to full usability of the building, in order to
increase everyone’s quality of life.
8
LEGISLATION FRAMWORK:
STRENGHTNESS at regional level
The law in the Region of Lombardia and
Veneto, in particular:
•
provides for external experts to sit on the
planning permission committees
• provides for certain sums to be put to one
side to make all public buildings and spaces
accessible.

LEGISLATION FRAMWORK: WEAKNESS
• lack of accessible planning criteria incorporated
into general building regulations;
• limited possibility for municipal administrations to
conduct checks ;
• lack of technical requirements on signs for
improving orientation of people with visual or
cognitive disabilities, particularly in the case of
danger and fire
11
PEBA (Plans for the Elimination of the
Architectural Barriers):
METODOLOGY AND CRITERIA.
• analysis of municipal situations;
• collection of personal details on weak individuals,
possible preferential routes, both for vehicles and
pedestrians, location of the building and the route
within the territory and with regard to town plans;
• analysis of the buildings and routes, with detailed
census of architectural and location barriers found

CONCLUSION
• each public building must be linked by a protected
and accessible network, so extension of the PEBA
to public routes is an important element of the
legislative framework.
• The regulations could be a valid means of support
for achieving greater social inclusion and usability
of the environment by everyone
36
CONCLUSION
• The buildings should be accessible, but also
easily recognisable and not provide further
elements of disorientation or potential danger.
37
38
39
CONCLUSION
All public administrations should understand the
importance of making their cities accessible:
• through preparation of programmatic plans for
public buildings, and for pedestrian routes,
•
with progressive continuation of works
• with constant maintenance of attention to detail.
