Description Questions of accessibility of public area for disabled attract widespread interest in many disciplines such as urbanism, architecture, sociology, engineering or geography. A large number of recent studies and works is concerned with the accessibility mapping of cities, but a considerable amount of these studies fails in attempts to analyse these issues deeply. The analyses should also discuss a wide range of problems including a definition and understanding of the target group (disabled), followed by the appropriate methodological approach and resulting with respect to needs of this target group. Thus, the paper is presenting a study of accessibility of Brno city centre, conducted by geographers and cartographers in cooperation with disabled (especially wheelchaired), non-governmental organizations of people with impaired mobility and local public administration. Data gathered during the mapping of public buildings are used as a basis for the production of accessible map of the central part of Brno city.
