1. How to Use the “Search” Engine?
1.1 Pick at least One Category (you can pick all of
them) from Part “A”
1.2 Choose an Area from Part “B”: 1. “All Areas,” 2. a Certain “Area,”
or 3. a specific “City”
1.3 Click on the “Search” Button in Part “C”
You will receive then the list of sites available in
accordance with your search choice.
2. How Sites are Catalogued in the Database:
Surveyed sites are catalogued in the database according to
two parameters. The first parameter is the site’s category, whereas “category”
means “the purpose of the given site.” Since there are various purposes they
are grouped under five general categories (1. Tourism, 2. Culture, Leisure &
Sport, 3. Everyday Use, 4. Medical Care, Emergency & Repairs, 5. Other).
The second parameter is the site’s
location. The location of a site is classified according to a two-tier
geographic division: 1. Area, and 2. City*
*Important Note Regarding the City
List:
The list of “cities” comprehensively
covers all legally-recognized settled entities. This means, for example, that
small towns & villages are also included in the list. To distinguish the
formal cities from the rest we have placed them in capitalized letters; the
capital of Israel, therefore, will be “JERUSALEM,” while other forms of
residency will be in non-capitalized letters – “Avivim” for example.
3. Explanation of the accessibility “Report” and its
“Accessibility” Graphic Symbols:
3.1 The “Report” – The
Accessibility “report” provides an informative sheet that serves as a
“business card” of the surveyed site. The “card” contains –
a.
Accessibility comment & graphic symbols
b.
general information on the place –
description, location, name, and contact information;
3.2 The “Graphic
Symbols” – These represent the “grade” the particular accessibility parameter
that was surveyed received. There are three possible grades: accessible,
partially accessible, and inaccessible. The three possibilities correspond to
the three general disabilities: wheelchair users, HOH\Deaf, and
visually-impaired/blind.
