“…However, there were some elements that appeared to be problematic for the majority of participants, regardless of disability type and other participant characteristics. Many of these barriers correspond with what is already known from the literature, such as uneven flooring (pavement), steps, particularly at shop entrances ( 9 , 12 , 13 , 18 ), as well as objects on sidewalks ( 9 , 19 ) and the lack of accessible toilets ( 13 , 42 ). However, some participants ignored some obstacles that were obvious for the research team, such as access to certain shops or restaurants with steps at the entrance.…”

“…Although there is some literature about access to culture that takes into consideration the point of view of people with disabilities, such museum accessibility ( 16 , 17 ), there are not so many studies that have been carried out in the specific field of historical heritage considering the first-person experience of people with disabilities ( 10 , 12 , 15 , 18 ). Studies that consider the perspectives of people with disabilities in a patrimonial context usually do so through interviews or questionnaires ( 9 , 19 ) or usually only involve people with physical disabilities ( 20 , 21 ).…”

IntroductionAround 16% of world's population lives with visible and invisible disabilities. People with disabilities' participation may be limited because of the environmental obstacles. Moreover, historic heritage places were built before the development of accessibility standards and the rights of people living with disabilities and the majority were not designed to be accessible. Access to historic heritage places is important for carrying out the activities in place but also to create and reinforce identity. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of people with visible and invisible disabilities when visiting heritage sites considering accessibility issues.MethodsThis study is a qualitative interpretive description. Participants were adults with visible (e.g., motor disability) or invisible (e.g., autism) disabilities. For data collection, go along interviews (also referred to in the literature as “walking interview” in two different locations in the Historic District of Old Quebec in Quebec City were conducted. Thematic analysis was done.ResultsTwenty-one participants completed two go along interviews: one in the Séminaire de Québec (Seminary of Quebec City) and the other in Petit-Champlain and Place Royale areas of Quebec City. Three themes emerged: (1) Obstacles and impact on participation; (2) Disabling accessibility; and (3) Heritage meaning.DiscussionThe barriers identified by participants are diverse and differ according to the person and the type of disability. However, social and leisure activities were particularly limited, despite the strategies developed by some participants. Participants in the study demonstrated an interest in accessing to heritage places, therefore it seems essential to consider the needs of people with disabilities when developing accessibility solutions, and to seek a balance between preserving heritage and promoting inclusive and equitable access for all.

“…Contrariamente, son escasos los avances que indagan la relación de personas con discapacidad visual con el arte (Gratacós Masanella, 2009;Dosio, s-f;Ruiz de Lacanal, 2004;Arnheim, 1990) y casi inexistentes las investigaciones que estudian la relación de personas que poseen discapacidades visuales con la realidad edificada y construida (Sánchez Funez, 2013;García Lucerga, 1991). Si a esta búsqueda sumamos, además, la variable de patrimonio cultural, los estudios existentes se desarrollan principalmente desde aspectos referidos al turismo y a la accesibilidad, sólo en términos físicos y de circulación (Gómez Blázquez, 2015;Puyuelo Cazorla, Merino Sanjuan, Val Fiel, Felip Miralles y Gual Ortí, 2010), sin abordar la relación que se establece en la vinculación con el patrimonio como tal. No obstante, existen algunos estudios que desarrollan investigaciones sobre la condición y realidad vivencial de aquellas personas con discapacidad visual en su vinculación con la espacialidad arquitectónica (Caffarena, 2010;Guerrero Pérez, 2007;Pallasmaa, 2005).…”

Un presente compartido implica, al menos en parte, un pasado compartido. Si es compartido, debiera haber sido antes conocido. El patrimonio (cultural) edificado, en la actualidad, suele ser una barrera que se define por el desconocimiento que lleva a ignorar tal realidad antes que derribarla. En el caso particular de la condición de aquellas personas con discapacidad visual se suma, además, el hecho de no poder establecer (persona-edificio) una relación visual.El presente artículo expone los primeros avances de una investigación en curso que busca brindarles a personas con discapacidad visual los recursos necesarios para que, en el transcurso de una visita al patrimonio edificado de la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina, puedan imaginar cómo es la realidad que tienen de frente y que los contiene, aspirando a que cada uno gestione su propio recorrido. La experiencia aquí presentada se propuso para un determinado grupo de personas en un edificio en particular, pero se considera, además, la posibilidad de generar nuevas iniciativas para otros grupos de visitantes con diferentes discapacidades, para el público en general como así también el desarrollo en otros edificios de Córdoba.Es una investigación de carácter cualitativo que, como modalidad metodológica, propone el Estudio-Acción desde una lógica experiencial de conservación activa. El objetivo es profundizar en la comunidad el enriquecimiento de la memoria colectiva a partir de los bienes edificados, el reconocimiento de su autenticidad y sus valores cambiantes, y su apropiación por parte de quienes los habiten.
