Obstacles large or small affect the quality of life and daily activities of the individual.
Accessibility affects the individual, but is also an expression of the general mentality and policy.
Details and general concepts must be seen in context and solved methodically in consultation with all sections of the population. Greater awareness and knowledge of this factor in designing urban areas, residential areas, parks and recreational areas and transport modes will result in a more open and useful society for everyone. One must stress accessibility in a broad perspective. In that way, community planning in general can adopt the tenet that everyone shall have possibilities for education, work and services. The Ministry of the Environment is currently collaborating with the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs to enhance accessibility through greater emphasis on this element in the general planning of the society.
