An aspect of the city of Drama…

The Paraplegics’ Association of Drama, was established in 1993 and it is based in the city of Drama. It is lodged in the ground – floor of a building granted by the Municipality of Drama, which is used, both, as an office and a meeting place for the members.

One of the associations’ goals is the elimination of constructural and other kind of barriers and the accessibility of all places of public gathering and transportation.

Because the lack of accessibility hurts…
![Page 11: Powerpoint presentation aegis conference brussels 29 30 -11- 2011](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a7046c1a28ab4e348b4642/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Without accessibility you feel caged…

Considering all the above facilities for people with disabilities living in Drama but for tourists with disabilities also…
we thought, why not let everybody know about it?
![Page 45: Powerpoint presentation aegis conference brussels 29 30 -11- 2011](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a7046c1a28ab4e348b4642/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The right opportunity came a few years ago, in 2008, through the Greek Ministry of Labor, when we applied for a project for creating an “accessible” map.
![Page 46: Powerpoint presentation aegis conference brussels 29 30 -11- 2011](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a7046c1a28ab4e348b4642/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
We started a campaign by asking all our members, friends, citizens, authorities & shop owners to provide us with any kind of relevant information they had.
![Page 47: Powerpoint presentation aegis conference brussels 29 30 -11- 2011](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a7046c1a28ab4e348b4642/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
We continued by asking the local owners of hotels, restaurants, etc, to make adaptations so, their business will be accessible to customers with physical disability & be promoted in the map.
![Page 48: Powerpoint presentation aegis conference brussels 29 30 -11- 2011](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a7046c1a28ab4e348b4642/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
After we gathered the information we started an… adventure by checking and double checking all the information we had before we put it on map.
![Page 49: Powerpoint presentation aegis conference brussels 29 30 -11- 2011](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a7046c1a28ab4e348b4642/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
And that’s the result…

The “safe to cross” ramps were spotted with a green dot.
The “help needed” ramps were spotted with a red dot.

All the information is provided in greek and english.
The places with adapted bathroom are indicated with green letters and the contrary with red letters.

The map was distributed to several public buildings, hotels, public transportation stations & touristic interest spots.
The Paraplegics’ Association of Drama is providing the map free of charge to anyone who is interested to have it.
