Current State and Problems of Forming Inclusive Spaces in the World and National Architecture

The article analyses the current state and problems of forming inclusive spaces in the world and national architecture. The International and Ukrainian regulatory documents that regulate the inclusiveness and barrier-free accessibility for all the population groups are analysed. The concedcpts of "inclusion", "disabled person", "disability", "people with limited mobility", "barrier-free space" are defined. The main organising elements of a quality inclusive environment in all the social spheres are identified. An urgent task is to provide the availability of residential and public buildings for all the citizens, regardless of their physical capabilities. Inclusive spaces of modern architectural development are not only about creating the appropriate infrastructure, but also about transforming the existing one. The purpose of this research is to identify the main elements of the organisation of a high-quality inclusive environment in all social spheres. The necessary analysis of the current trends in the architectural development of inclusive spaces in large cities, as well as the peculiarities of accessibility for people with disabilities and people with limited mobility, has been carried out. Main research methods are comparative and historical analysis; visual and analytical method; monitoring method; analysis of statistical data and qualitative indicators; collection, analysis, presentation, and interpretation of the information on theoretical and practical issues of organising an inclusive environment, which is reflected in the works of foreign and Ukrainian researchers. The findings of the study showed that the developments aimed at solving the problems of creating inclusive spaces are relevant and timely. An important aspect of a barrier-free environment is the development of inclusive spaces in modern cities. The different types of barrier-free environment, including physical barrier-free, digital, educational and economic, social and civic, as well as the information barrier-free, are very important for the development of inclusive spaces in the world and national architecture. Persons with disabilities and people with limited mobility have extremely limited opportunities to realise their rights.
