The Agency for Persons with Disabilities has created an interactive map of accessible sites in Bulgaria

The Agency for Persons with Disabilities has created an interactive map with accessible sites in Bulgaria, the press centre of the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy said on February 16. Accessible sites in Bulgaria, which citizens register themselves in the agency's specially created register, can now be visualized through an interactive map.

The new functionality of the registry allows each site entered in it, after validation of its location coordinates, to be marked on the map of Bulgaria with the familiar sign of a place that is accessible to people with disabilities. After clicking on the sign, the detailed map with information about the site appears, including the accessibility elements - accessible entrance, parking spaces provided, services for the blind, sign language interpretation services, accessible tourist routes, adapted sanitary facilities, counters, etc.

The Agency's register contains only sites that citizens have entered. Anyone can do it electronically by filling in the details of the site - name, activity, address, as well as information about its accessibility - in a card specially developed by the Agency.

The register is available on the website of the Agency for Persons with Disabilities in the section "Registers". Members of the public can search for relevant sites by district, municipality, locality. The search can also be by sector and category.
