Organised Editing/Activities/PEBA Unione Romagna Faentina
Rationale
The Union of Romagna Faentina - URF (https://www.romagnafaentina.it/) has begun work on drafting its first Architectural Barriers Elimination Plan (hereafter PEBA), a planning tool designed to develop strategies for the accessibility of public buildings, urban spaces, and transportation, with attention to all people, regardless of their health status.
Accessible urban spaces and buildings represent safer, more welcoming, and inclusive places for everyone.
The PEBA will be drafted during 2025 and includes various consultation and engagement activities with citizens and associations.
The official PEBA page of the URF is: https://www.romagnafaentina.it/progetti/peba
Mapping accessibility elements in OpenStreetMap
Based on previous experiences, starting with the PEBA of the Municipality of Padua, those responsible for drafting the URF's PEBA will map accessibility elements of urban paths and spaces using OpenStreetMap.
In particular, they will use the tagging methods used for the Padua PEBA (PEBA Comune di Padova), which were later adopted and adapted by other projects (e.g., VIaLibera Project, ViaLibera).
This wiki page will serve as a reference for mapping activities and methods and may contain information on initiatives to inform and engage the population following the guidelines contained in the Organised Editing Guidelines (Organised Editing Guidelines) and included in the official list of organized activities in OSM (Organised Editing/Activities).
