Accessibility is a vital subject in the daily lives of people, the absence of it could be a disaster experienced on a daily basis, which could be experienced in any country in the world. In this spite, OpenStreetMap has all the capabilities to map the most important features for accessibility, security, and comfort for pedestrian displacement, which is important for UN SDGs realization, by promoting healthy and sustainable mobility, as well as universal inclusion. The workshop is divided into 3 sections: 1) Introduction (10 minutes): The general importance of concepts like accessibility, inclusion, universal design, and combating ableism. 2) Mapping Geometries (15 minutes talk, 25 minutes mapping): mapping sidewalks and other footpath networks, including crosswalks and access points, the main tool will be the iD editor; 3) Mapping attributes (15 minutes talk, 25 minutes mapping), we will map, using iD and Mapillary Imagery, at least: surface material; surface smoothness; the presence of curb ramps; type of tactile paving; type of crosswalk. The general idea is to train people in the mapping of sidewalks and make the community more aware of the importance of this subject.
