Experiences in management of information concerning the planning of architectural barriers’ overtaking. The case of Careggi general hospital in Florence

Since 1986, in Italy public administrations are obliged to provide special projects of action in order to plan the architectural barriers’ overtaking. The 104 national law in 1996 confirms and renovates the necessity of giving a structure to a planned activity in order to guarantee proper resources to gradually eliminate obstacles and impediments detected in buildings. Thanks to this law, now the P.E.B.A. (plans of elimination of the architectural barriers) concerns not only singular buildings but also each links of ways and transports which creates a chain of functions and services in urban space; therefore these plans gain the main position in the architectural barriers’ overtaking in a urban context.
