Abstract

The paper returns the reflections resulting from research and experimentation activities on the theme of cultural accessibility with particular reference to accessibility aimed at public functions; accessibility is understood in different meanings, from the social to the economic one and, usually, accessibility and cultural heritage are two often dialectical, sometimes antithetical terms that in this research project are investigated following the dimensions, interpretations, strategies, rules and interventions for a truly connected and synergistic territorial project that aims to enhance the rich and precious testimonial palimpsest of the territories marked by historical centres; intervening in these spaces, many with precise constraints and protected as cultural assets, is a very complex operation that requires constant attention in the formation of an inclusive regeneration process aimed at promoting social, cultural and economic revitalization by counteracting the decline of italian historical centers. The central theme is the design of the continuity of the public space and the high not only physical-geographical, but also ergonomic and social value that covers the theme of accessibility, considered as a tool aimed at defining rules for the conformation of paths and public spaces of quality. In the all-encompassing definition of "people with disabilities", the project will include not only people with physical difficulties but also people with cognitive, sensory, emotional problems, including, among the profiles, not only users with permanent pathological disabilities but also the so-called " subjects with reduced mobility” such as the elderly, pregnant women, families with small children and/or strollers, injured people or people with movement limitations, heart patients.
