It is equally important both in Latvia and worldwide. Environmental accessibility is generally perceived as removing obstacles for people with special needs. According to the universal design and its principles public spaces should provide equal accessibility for every member of society. The Laws and Constitution of Latvia provides equal rights for all citizens. Environmental accessibility problems most commonly occur in cultural monuments, which include some of the churches. In modern world Christianity is a tradition, words and rituals of God, as well as social assistance. This is the reason why it is crucial for it to be comprehensive, so that everyone could use provided services independently and be equally involved in the church\u2019s activities. This research analyses problems that occur in existent urban environment and examines 86 churches located in Riga. Observation and digital analysis methods are used in order to acquire measurements. Results are provided using graphical method. The subjects of the study are Christian denomination churches, that have been mentioned in Article 51 of the Latvian Civil Law, it includes Evangelical Lutherans, Roman Catholics, Orthodox Believers, Old Believers, Methodists, Seventh-day Adventists and Moses Believers (Judaism). Taking into consideration statistics and modern situation the study also includes some of the most widespread and active Christian denominations: Baptists, Pentecostals, Mormons, New Generations, Anglicans, New Apostles and Christians of the Evangelical Faith. The purpose of the research is to provide an overview of the current situation, as well as determine problems in environmental accessibility and guideline integration into sacred buildings. Research also aims to provide possible solutions for improving the quality of life of people with functional limitations. The study reflects on the significant shortcoming of churches located in Riga in meeting the guidelines and standards of public buildings. New buildings are more often to meet accessibility requirements and regulations, however, chosen solutions often lack practicality or do not provide easy usage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.22616\/j.landarchart.2019.15.13","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,22]],"date-time":"2020-05-22T19:16:45Z","timestamp":1590175005000},"page":"112-119","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Research of Environmental Accessibility in Riga Churches"],"prefix":"10.22616","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Kristiana","family":"Romanovska-Grinberga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Riga Technical University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andra","family":"Ulme","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Riga Technical University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"9905","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","unstructured":"ANO.
