Introduction to priority area
Introduksjon til satsingsområde
Planning for all
Planlegging for alle
Accessibility is a key element in planning physical surroundings.
Tilgjengelighet er et nøkkelord i planleggingen av de fysiske omgivelsene.
Obstacles large or small affect the quality of life and daily activities of the individual.
Små og store hindringer påvirker livskvalitet og livsutfoldelse for den enkelte.
Accessibility affects the individual, but is also an expression of the general mentality and policy.
Tilgjengelighet berører enkeltfaktorer og er samtidig et uttrykk for overordnet tankegang og politikk.
Details and general concepts must be seen in context and solved methodically in consultation with all sections of the population.
Detaljer og hovedlinjer må sees i sammenheng og løses planmessig i samråd med alle befolkningsgrupper.
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.
Større bevissthet og økt kunnskap om dette ved utforming av tettsteder, boligområder, friluftsområder og transport-midler vil gi et åpnere og mer anvendelig samfunn for alle.
One must stress accessibility in a broad perspective.
Det er nødvendig å vektlegge tilgjengelighet i et bredt perspektiv.
Better accessibility for all
Bedre tilgjengelighet for alle
Improving accessibility means improving the surroundings for everyone, but primarily for the disabled.
Å bedre tilgjengeligheten innebærer å forbedre omgivelsene for alle, men først og fremst for funksjonshemmede.
The design of our surroundings affects our daily lives.
Utformingen av omgivelsene påvirker oss i hverdagen.
Inappropriate and poorly considered solutions can result in reduced safety, greater daily physical and mental strain and limited possibilities for activity.
Uhensiktsmessige og lite gjennomtenkte løsninger kan gi redusert sikkerhet, økte daglige fysiske og psykiske belastninger og begrense mulighetene til aktivitet.
Disable persons are particularly affected by this.
Personer med funksjonshemming er særlig berørt av dette.
Great distances, steep terrain and high pavement curbs create additional obstacles for the physically disabled.
Store avstander, bratt terreng og fortauskanter skaper ekstra terskler for bevegelseshemmede.
For asthmatics, it means problems being outdoors during periods of major pollution.
For astmatikere byr det på problemer å oppholde seg utendørs i perioder med stor luftforurensning.
Children, elderly, visually handicapped and people with learning difficulties can have problems mastering a complex traffic system or finding their way in an unmanageable area.
Både barn, eldre, synshemmede og personer med lærevansker kan ha problemer med å beherske et sammensatt trafikkbilde eller å finne fram i et uoversiktlig område.
Facts about the disabled
Fakta om funksjonshemmede
Nearly 20% of the Norwegian population is permanently disabled because of allergy, reduced mobility, poor vision, hearing or ability to grasp information in one’s surroundings.
I underkant av 20% av den norske befolkning er varig funksjonshemmet på grunn av allergi, redusert bevegelighet, syn, hørsel eller redusert evne til å oppfatte informasjon i omgivelsene.
People with allergies/asthma and those with motor disabilities comprise the largest groups.
Allergikere/astmatikere og bevegelseshemmede utgjør de største gruppene.
Already now, the elderly constitute a large part of the disabled population.
Eldre utgjør allerede i dag en stor andel av de som er funksjonshemmet.
Trends show that the number of elderly will increase after the year 2000.
Utviklingstrender viser at antall eldre i befolkningen vil øke etter år 2000.
This "elderly wave" will mean more people with reduced physical ability, which poses a challenge to community planning.
Denne eldrebølgen vil gi økt antall personer med nedsatt funksjonsdyktighet, noe som er en utfordring i samfunnsplanleggingen.
Certain types of disability are also increasing among young people.
Enkelte typer funksjonshemninger er også økende blant yngre mennesker.
Particularly disturbing is the increase in asthma among children.
Spesielt foruroligende er utviklingen av astmatiske lidelser hos barn.
Surveys on conditions of daily living show that disabled people are worse off than the average population.
Levekårsundersøkelser viser at funksjonshemmede kommer dårligere ut enn gjennomsnittet av befolkningen.
This concerns factors such as income, labour force participation, housing, education, access to leisure activities and social contact.
Dette gjelder blant annet faktorer som inntekt, yrkesaktivitet, boforhold, utdanning, tilgang til fritidsaktiviteter og sosial kontakt.
Relatively many disabled live in areas where houses and outdoor areas are poorly arranged.
Relativt mange funksjonshemmede bor i områder hvor boliger og utearealer er dårlig tilrettelagt.
Greater attention must be paid to the needs of the disabled in planning
Hensynet til funksjonshemmede skal vektlegges i planleggingen
In planning cities and villages, residential environments and outdoor areas, initially all sections of the population must be considered.
I planlegging av byer og tettsteder, bomiljøer og friluftsområder skal det i utgangspunktet tas hensyn til alle befolkningsgrupper.
This is set forth in the preamble to the Planning and Building Act and followed up through laws, regulations and guidelines.
Dette er nedfelt i plan- og bygningslovens formålsparagraf og er fulgt opp gjennom lover, forskrifter og retningslinjer.
Nevertheless, measures are implemented that tend to limit the possibility for participation and self-fulfilment.
Likevel settes det i verk tiltak som virker begrensende på mulig-heten for deltakelse og utfoldelse.
Accessibility in the broad sense shall be a guiding principle in all municipal planning.
Hensynet til tilgjengelighet i bred forstand skal være rettesnor for all kommunal planlegging.
Good accessibility for the disabled calls for awareness in general planning and detail of physical design.
God tilgjengelighet for funksjonshemmede forutsetter bevissthet i overordnet planlegging så vel som oppmerksomhet om detaljer i fysisk utforming.
This particularly applies to land-use and town planning, where accessibility and quality for user groups may include everything from arranging pedestrian areas to location of residential areas.
Ikke minst gjelder dette i arealplanleggingen, hvor tilgjengelighet og kvalitet for brukergruppene kan gjelde alt fra tilrettelegging av gangarealer til plassering av boligområder.
Local sector plans are also important for accessibility to outdoor areas and functions.
Også en rekke sektorplaner i kommunen har betydning for tilgjengelighet til områder og funksjoner.
Housing programmes, school development, social services and waste treatment are examples of plans affecting the daily activities of the individual, and where consideration of the disabled must be stressed.
Boligprogram, planer for skoleutvikling, sosialtjenester og avfallsbehandling er eksempler på planer som påvirker daglige gjøremål for den enkelte, og hvor hensynet til funksjonshemmede må vektlegges.

Local government plays a key role
Kommunene spiller en nøkkelrolle
Local authorities will also have important responsibility in ensuring that the disabled and their organizations have an opportunity to promote their views and interests to the municipality by taking part in preparing plans and implementing measures.
Kommunene vil ha et viktig ansvar i å påse at funksjonshemmede og funksjonshemmedes organisasjoner får fremme sine synspunkter og interesser overfor kommunen gjennom medvirkning i utarbeidelse av planer og ved gjennomføring av tiltak.
County authorities and the county governor have an important function as technical advisers on planning.
Både fylkeskommunen og fylkesmannen har en viktig funksjon som faglige rådgivere i planleggingsspørsmål.
County plans and signals from county councils may include priorities that are important to addressing the needs of the disabled.
Fylkesplanene og signaler fra fylkesrådene kan gi prioriteringer som er viktige for hvordan hensynet til funksjonshemmede blir ivaretatt.
However, local political priorities and planning are the most important factors in creating better accessibility and better conditions for the disabled.
Det er likevel kommunenes politiske prioriteringer og planlegging som er viktigst for å skape bedre tilgjengelighet og bedre forhold for funksjonshemmede.
There will be a need for co-operation between the sectors and municipal departments in order to develop good, co-ordinated measures.
Det vil være behov for samarbeid mellom sektorene og kommunens etater for å utvikle gode og samordnede tiltak.
It will also be necessary for departments with little involvement in this effort to learn more about accessibility.
Det vil også være nødvendig å styrke kunnskapen om tilgjengelighet i etater som i dag er lite involvert i dette.
Participation shall be a permanent part of the planning process
Medvirkning skal være en fast del av planprosessen
Stressing the needs of the disabled in planning also poses a challenge to the disabled, their interest organizations and local and county councils.
Når hensynet til funksjonshemmede skal styrkes i planleggingen vil dette også bety en utfordring for funksjonshemmede, interesseorganisasjonene og kommunale og fylkeskommunale råd for funksjonshemmede.
The Planning and Building Act has clear regulations on participation in the planning process and information on municipal planning work.
Plan- og bygningsloven har klare bestemmelser om medvirkning i planprosesser og informasjon om kommunens planarbeid.
The regulations and practice thereof provide a good basis for user participation.
Bestemmelsene og praktiseringen av dem gir et godt grunnlag for brukermedvirkning.
The aim is that users shall be heard throughout the planning process, also in the introductory stages where main principles and objectives are formulated.
Det er et mål at brukerne skal høres i hele planprosessen, også i de innledende fasene hvor hovedprinsipper og hovedmål formuleres.
It is preferred that the organizations and councils themselves take the initiative and help give local authorities a good basis for decision-making through a broad and democratic process.
Det er ønskelig at organisasjoner og råd selv tar initiativ til dette og bidrar til at kommunene får et godt beslutningsgrunnlag gjennom en bred og åpen demokratisk prosess.
Joint effort by the Ministry the Environment and Ministry of Health and Social Affairs
Felles satsing fra Miljøverndepartementet og Sosial- og helsedepartementet
It is also crucial that we find solutions that can make participation by the disabled as a permanent and natural part of the planning process and that accessibility and the needs of the disabled become a permanent component of planning for all.
Det er avgjørende å finne løsninger som kan etablere medvirkning fra funksjonshemmede som en permanent og naturlig del av planprosessen.
This commitment will be followed up through a four-year programme assigned to the Ministry of the Environment.
Satsingen vil bli fulgt opp gjennom et fireårig program som er lagt til Miljøverndepartementet.
A key task is to provide answers as to how the needs of the disabled shall be addressed and what things are important to stress.
Sentralt i dette står arbeidet med å gi svar på hvordan hensynet til funksjonshemmede skal inkluderes og hva det er viktig å legge vekt på.
There have been ongoing efforts for a long time to make accessibility for the disabled a part of the general way of thinking in planning and design.
Det har vært arbeidet lenge for å bringe tilgjengelighet for funksjonshemmede inn i den generelle tenkningen som angår planlegging og utforming.
The development of the concept Universal Design is one of the most interesting initiatives.
Utviklingen av begrepet Universell utforming er et av de mest interessante initiativene.
Universal design means designing products and surroundings in such a way that they can be used by all people, to as great an extent as possible, without the need for adaptation and special design.
Universell utforming er design av produkter og omgivelser på en slik måte at de kan brukes av alle mennesker, i så stor utstrekning som mulig, uten behov for tilpassing og en spesialisert utforming.
A key factor in this concept is that the needs of all user groups must be addressed in the solutions as far as technically and practically possible.
Sentralt i denne tenkningen er hensynet til at alle brukergrupper skal innarbeides i løsningene så langt det er teknisk og praktisk mulig.
Supplementary solutions or compensatory solutions for special user groups shall only be used when absolutely necessary.
Tilleggsløsninger eller kompenserende løsninger for spesielle brukergrupper skal bare brukes når dette er absolutt nødvendig.
Universal design provides a useful definition of how equal-opportunity and integration policy can be realized in physical design and planning.
Universell utforming gir en anvendelig definisjon på hvordan likestillings- og integreringspolitikken kan forstås i fysisk utforming og planlegging.
For example, effort should be made so that day care centres are located in areas with little air pollution and with grounds that everyone can use.
For eksempel bør det etterstrebes at barnehager legges på tomter med lite luftforurensning og utearealer som kan gi gode bruksmuligheter for alle.
The Ministry of the Environment will apply a number of measures for stressing accessibility in the planning process.
Miljøverndepartementet vil bruke en rekke virkemidler for å tydeliggjøre tilgjengelighet i planprosessen.
A circular will be prepared, addressed to counties and municipalities, clarifying the key aspects of this work.
Rundskriv til fylker og kommuner som avklarer de sentrale sidene ved satsingen vil bli utarbeidet.
The Planning and Building Act will be reviewed to consider whether there is a need for changes.
Plan- og bygningsloven vil bli gjennomgått for å vurdere om det er behov for endringer.
A number of measures will be implemented for developing knowledge, methods and good practice:
For å utvikle kunnskap, metoder og god praksis, blir det igangsatt en rekke tiltak:
Reports, training and information will give local and county authorities a better basis for making decisions on how to specify accessibility in each plan.
Utredninger, opplæring og informasjon skal gi fylker og kommuner bedre grunnlag for å ta beslutninger om hvordan tilgjengelighet kan konkretiseres i de enkelte planene.
Trial projects in local and county areas will provide knowledge and experience on user participation, methods and good working arrangements.
Forsøk i kommuner og fylker skal gi kunnskap og erfaringer om brukermedvirkning, metoder og arbeidsopplegg som er gode.
The Ministry of the Environment will allocate funds to trial projects based on applications from local and county governments and organizations.
Miljøverndepartementet tildeler midler til forsøkene etter søknad fra fylker, kommuner og organisasjoner.
Collaboration with universities and colleges will help design basic planning studies that meet these needs.
Samarbeid med universiteter og høgskoler skal gi grunnutdanning i planlegging som møter behovene.
