Sharing what disabled people, who have an important place in society, expect from municipalities with the Everyone Hears correspondent, Hasan Duman, President of Bursa Disabled Thought Club AssociationHe noted that they expect Bursa Metropolitan Municipality to produce projects within the framework of the barrier-free city plan.
President Hasan Duman, in the parliament and municipal electionsEmphasizing that disabled people should be given rights in the municipality, he said, "We would like to see the 31 March local elections with hope and that our expectations would be fulfilled, but at the current point, we cannot say that the demands of disabled people are taken into consideration in municipal council memberships and presidencies. There are no disabled candidates among the municipal council member candidates. There were no applications from disabled people for the mayoral position. Thus, there is a deficiency and a problem in terms of representation. Despite this, we attach importance to the 2024 elections in terms of making the lives of disabled people easier, socializing them and ensuring their access to public life. "We especially expect Bursa Metropolitan Municipality to do something within the framework of the barrier-free city plan." he said.
HASAN DUMAN: ISTANBUL METROPOLITAN MUNICIPALITY SHOULD BE TAKEN AS AN EXAMPLE
The Istanbul Metropolitan MunicipalityNoting that there are projects that should be taken as an example, Mayor Duman said, “There is a very important service that we want both the current municipality and the winning municipality to provide. I think it is very important to establish a Disabled Persons Coordinator or Disabled Department in the municipality, structurally in accordance with the law. We attach particular importance and expect the creation of a 'Barrier-Free Life Center Camping Area', as in Istanbul. "We expect the streets, sidewalks to be regulated and means of transportation to be regulated." said.
