Spain would need to carry out actions to eliminate architectural barriers to improve their accessibility, which would mean an average cost per home of 1,361 euros , according to the report 'Accessibility in the building: cost or investment?' of the Mutual Owners Foundation .
Starting from the average cost of the actions detected to make a building accessible, the report confirms that the accessibility bill increases, especially in those buildings with fewer floors and fewer neighbors, with 5,409 euros and 4,457 euros, respectively; among households in older buildings (3,156 euros); in those who have smaller homes (2,416 euros) and in households with less income (2,995 euros).
The executive vice president of the Mutual Owners Cambodia Telegram Number Data Foundation, Laura López Demarbre , has explained that many of the non-accessible homes are owned by people with "low resources", which demonstrates the need for the Administration and institutions to contribute to making it possible for them to Actions are carried out to eliminate architectural barriers.
17% of community housing buildings do not have an elevator
The study reveals that 17% of community housing buildings do not have an elevator and, of those that do have an elevator, 11% have a step that makes accessibility to it difficult. For this reason, almost half (49%) of those who do not have an elevator demand it as an urgent measure, in the same way that 51% consider it essential to improve the accessibility of the portal to the elevator with an electric lifting platform or a ramp. .
"When people with reduced mobility reside in a building or home, whether due to disability or advanced age, accessibility becomes especially important, but as long as people with special needs do not reside, accessibility does not receive the importance it deserves and is perceived more as an expense rather than an investment ," López Demarbre pointed out.
The lack of agreement between neighbors and the economic cost puts back investment in accessibility
For all these reasons, Spaniards give a score of 5.7 out of 10 to accessibility, a score that drops when the person is put in the position of assessing accessibility for a person with reduced mobility.
Furthermore, although 63% of Spaniards agree that an accessible building increases the value of their property, six out of 10 see it as unlikely or unlikely to make the accessibility improvements that are needed in their building.
The lack of agreement between neighbors (47%) and economic reasons (55%) are the main reasons given, while the barrier of 2,000 euros per home is the turning point to consider it probable or not probable to carry out the improvements.
