| Description | The database offers a set of specific situations related to the use of urban public transport that represent a barrier for people with visual or hearing impairment. The database is based on the user experience of people with sensory disabilities in Brno. Although, it contains references to the realities of the Transport Company of the City of Brno, it describes situations that go beyond these locally specific realities and offers inspiration for developing more accessible urban public transport across the Czech Republic. It contains 178 unique barrier situations that were identified through in-depth interviews and focus groups with 30 visually and 20 hearing impaired users of the Brno City Transport Company's services conducted during 2023. The database mainly captures the variability of barrier situations, but does not address the frequency of their occurrence. Thus, situations that may occur very rarely or very often are juxtaposed. |
