Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
The purpose of the \u201cUSEaccessibility\u201d workshop is to collect papers on the criteria, methodologies and tools useful to ensure the accessibility of the urban space to all categories of users, with specific reference to the most disadvantaged people.
\nIn fact, the concept of “extended accessibility” has assumed a fundamental importance for the use of urban space, becoming the basis of any good project for using city\u2019s places. The term “expanded” highlights the intent to overcome the concept of “architectural barrier”, giving the same importance to psycho-cognitive, sensory and communicative barriers. In the same way it is necessary to overcome the stereotype of the wheelchair disabled user, paying the same attention to the complexity of all forms of disability. Only in this way it will be possible to eliminate the categorizations and the relative solutions exclusively dedicated to people with disabilities, in favor of inclusive solutions, conceived instead for a wider use, according to the principles of “Universal Design” or “Design for all”.
\nTalking about accessibility implies referring to this concept in its broadest sense, not only the physical one, but also all its other forms, including psycho-cognitive accessibility. In fact, the cognitive disabilities are not protected by law like the physical ones.<\/div>\n
Finally, the “extended accessibility” is based on the latest generation technologies, such as augmented reality, virtual reality and automatic recognition, able to overcome the limits of physical accessibility, especially in places with particular physical constructive characteristics, in order to enhancing the cognitive characteristic with immersive and stimulating solutions.
\nAlso, that of sensoriality is linked to the problem of accessibility. It offers a physical approach to knowledge that can amplify the experience and above all guarantee accessibility to people with disabilities, particularly those with low vision.
\nFocusing on \u201cextended accessibility\u201d, this workshop may critically explore (but is not limited) these relevant issues:
\n1.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Studying and recognizing the specificities and differences between the various categories of people with disabilities, identifying needs and, at the same time, widening the concept of disability to populations considered up to now as “able-bodied” (elderly, children, etc.);
\n2.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Analysis of the conditions for an independent life for people with disabilities, or for their self-determination, through the study of measures and strategies that give the possibility of living ones life like any other person;
\n3.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Design and creation of spaces, strategies and measures to promote total accessibility, for the purpose of accessibility that can be both physical and cognitive;
\n4.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Highlighting how accessible architectures in cities favor quality and urban security and contrast urban degradation;
\n5.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Supporting public system strategies in order to guarantee an optimal use of resources for the creation of overall present and future value in local communities;
\n6.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 promoting social inclusion and raising peoples well-being and autonomy also through the development of knowledge, methodologies, technological tools and advanced automation techniques;
\n7.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 reconceptualizing cultural tourism from a perspective of accessibility and sustainability, guiding the actions of Public, Private and Third Sector, in order to intercept the demand of tourists with special needs (disabled people,
\nelderly people, families with small children, people with eating disorders, etc.), in view of a demand largely unanswered but constantly growing, above all due to the aging of the population and the increase in the propensity to
\ntravel of elderly people.Given the focus of the Conference on Computational Science issues, the workshop welcomes contributions on ICT and computational aspects, proposals and applications from a wide variety of scholars on the issues proposed.
\nEngineers, Geologists, Urban and Regional Planners, Landscape Architects, Geographers and Economic Geographers, Environmental Engineers, among others are welcome to contribute.<\/div>\n
