CROATIAN PARAPLEGIC AND TETRAPLEGIC ALLIAN C E CPTA-AVAIBILITY OF CULTURAL EVENTS IN ZAGREB FIMITIC, 7. X 2014.

DURING THE LAST DECADE CROATIAN PWD MOVEMENT WORKED A LOT ON THE ISSUE OF ACCESSIBILITY FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN OUR COUNTRY. WE HAVE LAWS, MANUALS, WE SENSIBILISE ALL RELATED STAKEHOLDERS. 3/30

ACCORDING TO LOW- RULES ON ACCESSIBILITY FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND REDUCED ACCESSIBILITY -ALL NEW BUILDINGS ARE ACCESSIBLE. HOWEVER MAJOR PROBLEM ARE STILL OLD BUILDINGS THE HEART OF ALL HISTORIC SITES. 14/30

ALSO OUR MEDITER R ANIAN TOWNS ALONG THE ADRIATIC COAST HAVE THEIR ACCESSIBILITY STANDARDS. BUT THEY PAY LITTLE ATTENTION TO ACCESS FOR PWD TO CULTURAL/HISTORIC/HERITAGE PLACES. THEIR PRIORITIES ARE ACCESSIBILITY OF TOURIST SPOTS LIKE BEACHES, MARINAS ETC. 15/30

LETS SEE HOW DOES IT WORK IN ZAGREB THE CAPITAL OF CROATIA? 16/30

MAYBE THE WORST SITUATION IS WITH MUSEUMS-AMONG 23 CITY MUSEUMS ONLY 6 OF THEM ARE FULLY ACCESSIBLE. LIKE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART. 18/30

ALSO, THERE ARE 23 THEATRES AND CONCERT HALLS. AMONG THEM 58% ARE ACCESSIBLE FOR PWD- ONLY 22 % ARE INACCESSIBLE. ONE OF THOSE INACCESSIBLES IS CROATIAN MUSIC INSTITUT-LOCATED IN AN OLD BUILDING. 20/30

AROUND 50% OF ALL CINEMAS ARE ALSO INACCESSIBLE.ALL NEW CINEMAS-BUILT IN LAST 5 YEARS ARE ACCESSIBLE.

IN OUR CAPITAL THERE ARE 54 LIBRARIES, 11 OF THEM FULLY INACCESSIBLE, WHICH MEANS THAT 80% OF ZAGREB LIBRARIRES IS ACCESSIBLE AND CAN BE USED BY PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES.

WE CANT FORGET CHURCHES-51 ZAGREB CHURCHES ARE ACCESSIBLE- AMONG TOTAL OF 91 ZAGREB CHURCHES-LIKE ZAGREB CATHEDRAL. 24/30

ZAGREB IS 66,10% ACCESSIBLE IN TERMS OF CULTURAL ACCESSIBILITY THERE ARE 51,18 % OF ALL MUSEUMS, THEATRES AND CONCERT HALLS, CINEMAS, THEN LIBRAIRES AND CHURCHES OR RELIGIOUS COMMUNITIES-FULLY ACCESSIBLE. ALSO, FURTHER 14,22% OF THOSE FACILITIES ARE PARTLY ACCESSIBLE. OUR JOB IS TO WORK HARD AND IMPROVE ALL PRIMARILY CULTURAL/TURISTIC HOT SPOTS- FOR ALL.
