THE AGENCY FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES HAS CREATED AN INTERACTIVE MAP WITH ACCESSIBLE OBJECTS S IN BULGARIA

The accessible sites in Bulgaria, which citizens themselves register in the specially created register of the Agency for the People with Disabilities, can now be visualized through an interactive map. The new functionality of the register allows each object entered in it, after validation of the coordinates for its location, to be marked on the map of Bulgaria with the familiar sign for a place that is accessible to people with disabilities.

After clicking on the sign, a detailed map appears with information about the object, including the elements of accessibility - accessible entrance, provided parking spaces, provided services for blind people, translation services into Bulgarian sign language, accessible tourist routes, adapted sanitary facilities, counters, etc.

The register of the Agency for People with Disabilities contains only objects that citizens have entered. Anyone can do it electronically by filling in the information about the object - name, activity, address, as well as the information about its accessibility - in a card specially developed by the Agency. Citizens can search for relevant sites by region, municipality, settlement. The search can also be by industry and category.

The register is available on the website of the Agency for People with Disabilities in the section "Registers", section "Accessible objects", submenu "Register of accessible objects" or at the following link: https://ahu.mlsp.government.bg/da/view/

In the same section, in the submenu "Map of accessible objects", the interactive map is visualized: https://ahu.mlsp.government.bg/portal/objects/map

The Ministry of Labor and Social Policy and the Agency for People with Disabilities rely on the activity of citizens who provide services in accessible facilities, work or visit them, to register them in the Register in order to make more of them visible to people with disabilities.
