Abstract: One of the key goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is to create inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable cities. A fundamental aspect of this goal is ensuring barrier-free mobility and access to public spaces, particularly for people with physical and visual impairments, seniors, and others with limited mobility. This paper discusses the statistical background of persons with disabilities in the Czech Republic and identifies the main obstacles they face in independent movement and spatial orientation. Based on current data, regulations, and practical observations, the paper outlines principles and design recommendations that support accessible and inclusive public environments. These include both physical modifications for mobility and tactile or visual systems that assist in independent navigation for visually impaired users.
