Not one less

Many people think that barrier-free facilities are only for people with disabilities, so they look at it with a perspective and mentality that does not care about themselves. In fact, almost everyone will use barrier-free facilities. In daily life, careful people can find: the elevator car is equipped with handrails, the overpass has built a ramp, the entrance and exit of the subway station are marked with obvious signs, and the shopping mall is equipped with a mother and baby room... The service of barrier-free facilities is not limited to the disabled, but also the elderly, children, pregnant women, nursing mothers and other groups, and even everyone in society.

In the face of this universal social demand, strengthening the construction of barrier-free environment is a must-answer question.

In the process of interviewing the construction of Xiamen's barrier-free environment, on the one hand, the reporter used wisdom and encouragement for Xiamen's intentions, and on the other hand, he believed that there were several aspects worth exploring. First, although Xiamen took the lead in promulgating the "Xiamen Barrier-free Environment Construction Supervision Work System", there is still room for progress in the implementation of the system. A points system can be introduced, and part of the points can be deducted after receiving the rectification notice, and once the year-end points fall below the passing line, the department will be punished. Second, the design of some barrier-free facilities is not based on the needs of special groups, and there are irregularities in the construction process, because it has a large investment and almost no output. In this regard, we can learn from the methods of developed countries, such as the use of tax reductions and low-interest financing to encourage the construction of barrier-free facilities. Third, continue to strengthen publicity and education, thoroughly publicize the Law on the Protection of Persons with Disabilities, popularize the common knowledge of barrier-free facilities, and protect and make good use of barrier-free facilities.

Barrier-free environment is a major event related to the harmony of social civilization. To build barrier-free facilities, when holding the mentality of "no one can be less". Only in this way can the whole society eliminate prejudice and discrimination, be full of harmony and friendship, and urban development be more warm and truly move toward civilization.
