More than 111,000 locations have already been added to the interactive Accessibility Map. This is the result of accessibility monitoring in communities. Owners and managers of these objects inspected buildings, public spaces, transport infrastructure and other locations based on specialised checklists, recording the results, and identified which changes are needed as a priority.

‘Behind these monitoring results lies the work of thousands of people in communities. We have up-to-date data on the accessibility of facilities and locations in cities and settlements. This is important for residents, who can find out how accessible the places they need are. Communities can rely on this data when planning territorial development, setting priorities, and establishing accessibility targets in their development strategies. The results show that there is still a great deal of work to be done. People use public and business services every day, so accessibility has to be a shared responsibility of the state, communities, and the private sector,’ said Vitalii Bezgin, Minister for Communities, Territories and Internally Displaced Persons of Ukraine.

This year’s monitoring lasted from 1 July to 30 September – over 45,000 objects were mapped for 2026, including residential properties and business premises such as shops, banks, cafés and so on. The results of the monitoring are available in detail on the map in real time. This feature has been available since 2025 thanks to the Ministry’s technology partner, LUN.

For each object on the Map, the level of accessibility is indicated:

• barrier-free;
• partially barrier-free;
• barriered.

The communities in Lviv, Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, and Dnipropetrovsk regions led the way in terms of the number of surveys. In each of these regions, between 6,000 and 10,000 surveyed objects have been added to the Map.

The Map presents data on the accessibility of objects in nearly two dozen categories. These include over 25,000 educational establishments, over 16,000 cultural and leisure facilities, over 7,000 healthcare facilities, over 10,000 transport infrastructure facilities, over 6,000 social welfare facilities, as well as thousands of streets and roads, sports venues, and other facilities.

This year, the list of objects to be monitored has been significantly expanded to include multi-occupancy residential blocks, veterans’ centres, petrol stations, hotels, and other accommodation facilities, restaurants and cafés, shops, banks, pharmacies, post offices and other service sector facilities.

However, for security reasons, the Map does not publish information on critical or vulnerable infrastructure facilities which communities have identified as not suitable for public disclosure.

For each object published on the Map, detailed information is available on the accessibility features that are present or missing, including survey results and photographs. This data is open to community representatives and anyone who wants to check the accessibility of a specific location.
