The article discusses the main provisions of regulatory documents on the solution and construction of a rehabilitation wellness center for wheelchair users with limited mobility in the northern coast of Odessa Bay. The paper considers and analyzes one of the possible variants of the seafront arrangement in a small area for the needs of wheelchairs. This project is small, it is executed according to a clear algorithm for exploring the territory. The implementation of such projects allows returning of disabled people on wheelchairs to the full life. An example of the arrangement of such a Center in the specific conditions of berth No. 218 is given. The coastal zone adjacent to the sea has complex geological conditions. Sea, river and lake shores in our country are not sufficiently adapted for the rehabilitation, treatment and rehabilitation of wheelchair users with limited mobility. The article provides an example of adaptation of a small plot of land for a medical and health center for wheelchair users. In 2009, work began with the construction of a treatment and rehabilitation center for people with reduced mobility in wheelchairs on a plot of land №2 8 m wide (along the sea). Retaining walls with supports from the side of the slope and from the side of marine erosion were made at the site. Functional planning organization of master plan of rehabilitation centers for disabled with the land consists of two factor groups: external and internal. To the group of external factors should be considered the elements of master plan of urban structure that surrounds the center and have an influence on organization of internal factors and directly on planning organization of the rehabilitation center. There are such elements as city main road, number of lanes, density of vehicular traffic, number of roads around center of rehabilitation, quality of the environment, accessibility of the barrier-free environment. The project is designed in accordance with geological and natural climatic conditions. The level of groundwater on this coast is analyzed. Technical and economic indicators of existing structures are also analyzed. Project includes a drawing of the plan and longitudinal section. Profile of the site was arranged in 3 levels. At the first level (mark 1.50m), a concrete road with a width of 6.0 m was made, and an administrative structure was also restored. The structure № 2, measuring 8.0x3.0 m, was installed on a metal support frame. To protect against possible deformations of the earth's surface, the hut structure № 2 was attached to the support frame using anchors. The exit from the first level to the second one was provided through a metal ramp with a slope of 1:10 with a special fence, arranged on a concrete staircase. At the second level (mark ± 0.00m) a container measuring 6.0 x 2.5 m was located. It was planned to place there a locker room, a medical center, equipment for first aid and other medical services. On the territory of the second level there was provided a place for cooking, garbage bins, a canopy, a shield with a fireman and special equipment, a dry closet equipped for the disabled, a room for storing equipment, boats, and strollers. A concrete platform was provided with a device for showering, washing feet, pergola with landscaping, shrubs, flowers, trees. The transition to the third level (mark-1.20 m) was provided by a fenced metal ramp with a slope of 1:10. The third level is located on an open area 22 m long, which smoothly directly adjoins the sandy seashore. On the roof of the Center for Rehabilitation of disabled people, it was planned to install a solar battery for energy supply. The article lists the necessary list of essential equipment and applications for the disabled. Under the project, the Disability Rehabilitation and Treatment Center can be autonomous, and its users will be able to use it independently. Unfortunately, the construction of this rehabilitation wellness center has not yet been completed, but is only at the design stage. The project of health-improving and rehabilitation infrastructure is foreseen for low- mobility groups of people, in particular disabled carriages. Solutions for this project are functional, rational, their use is possible on the coast of the sea, lakes, estuaries and rivers. An organized, bar-rier-free environment for disabled on wheelchairs is a requirement of the building codes and standards of Ukraine and Europe. According to the Spatial and Sustainable Development Program of the Territories, this project and the article are relevant to the accessibility departments of different administrative and territorial units of Ukraine.
