Accessibility categorization

Based on the clients’ needs and the agreement of chief organizations and institutions dealing with architectural barriers, Accessibility Mapping Methodology and related categorization were created. It serves for accessibility ratings from the user‘s perspective, which is for practical reasons less strict than the current legislation. Nevertheless, we comply strictly with the valid ordinance when commenting on projects.

• The entire location is accessible, via at least one barrier-free entrance. You do not need to make prior arrangements for your visit.
• Doors and all passages are wider than 80 cm. Thresholds up to 2 cm.
• The lift can be used without staff assistance and its dimensions are at least: door 90 cm, inner dimensions of the cabin – width 110 cm, depth 140 cm.
• If a stairlift is used, the width of the transporting surface is at least 80 cm.
• A barrier-free toilet is available (see explanatory text below), or if all other barrier-free requirements are met, then at least an adapted toilet (see explanatory text below).
• The surfaces and slopes of streets at the location and its immediate surroundings do not markedly complicate travelling in a wheelchair (when taking into consideration the nature of the heritage reservation).
• More detailed information about the individual aspects of accessibility is described using additional pictograms, and text if needed.

• Only part of the location is accessible, or the location does not meet some of the requirements stated under an accessible location – see above.
• More detailed information about the individual aspects of accessibility is described using additional pictograms, and text if needed.

• There are more than two stairs in front of the entrance to the location.
• Access to or travelling within the location is especially complicated – a combination of various reasons.
• More detailed information about the individual aspects of accessibility is described using additional pictograms, and text if needed.

This symbol is used at the description of the locations with particularly bumpy/rough terrain. Usually this is a poorly maintained historic pavement consisting of large bumpy/ rough cobbles with deep holes in between them.

Sloped terrain on the route or in the immediate surroundings of the location (including missing or substandard dropped kerbs).

Barrier-free entry via the main entrance enabling access to an accessible or a partially accessible location.

Side entrance enabling barrier-free access or an entrance that (in comparison to the main entrance) makes access to the location easier.

As a supplement to this symbol, the number of stairs is specified in the additional text. For example: + 3 = 3 stairs up; - 1 = 1 stair down; + 3 - 1 = 3 stairs up and 1 stair down – between them there is a stair landing or a larger area without stairs. If, after surmounting several stairs into part of a building, the access to other floors is possible only via a greater number of additional stairs, there is a warning "staircase" stated in the text. If there is no additional text at the object with this symbol, this means that there are stairs in series/staircase without any equipment for surmounting them or a possibility to be bypassed.

A staircase that significantly complicates the assistance with its surmounting – for example, narrowing stairs, narrow passages (narrower than 80 cm), dropped ceilings etc.

A commonly used, self-operated lift. We give the dimensions in the additional text.

Inclined platform stairlift/ vertical platform lift or a lift that is not available for general public use, but it is allowed to be used by people with impaired mobility. Generally, staff assistance is needed to operate this equipment.

Runner ramp or ramp (mobile and permanent), that usually serve for surmounting of several stairs. Mostly one must count on a steeper incline.

Doors or passages narrower than 80 cm on the route. This also applies to the main wing of double wing doors.

This is located in the ladies toilets (or possibly in the ladies and the gents) or is located separately.The entrance door to the cabin and all the entrances towards it are wider than 80 cm. The cabin door opens outwards.The minimum dimensions of the cabin are: width 1, 6 m x depth 1, 6 m.The access to the toilet seat from the side (side access to the toilet seat) is a minimum of 80 cm.There are handrails by the toilet seat; toilet paper is within reach of the person sitting on the seat.There is sufficient room for a wheelchair to pass under the sink. The manoeuvring room in the cabin is not limited by the other equipment of the cabin.If the toilet is usually locked, we give the information on the location of the key or method of opening it in the additional text.

This is located in the ladies toilets (or possibly in the gents toilets) or is located separately.The entrance door to the cabin and all the entrances towards it are wider than 70 cm. The cabin door opens outwards.The minimum dimensions of the cabin are: width 1, 4 m x depth 1, 4 m. The manoeuvring room is located opposite the cabin door.The access to the toilet seat from the side (side access to the toilet seat) is a minimum of 70 cm.

We give more detailed information (including the notification in case the toilet is usually locked) in the additional text.

A toilet without any modifications for use by people with impaired mobility.
