It is more than thirty years since the Italian Law introduced the Plans for the Removal of Architectural Barriers (PEBAs). However, their implementation by municipalities is still limited, and accessibility is often understood as the result of the elimination of single physical obstacles, rather than the development of interconnected systems of urban spaces and collective equipment that are usable and inclusive according to Universal Design (UD) criteria. Since 2018, the Italian Friuli Venezia Giulia Autonomous Region has started a collaboration with the Universities of Trieste and Udine, in order to bring UD at the core of the implementation of the Regional Law no. 10/2018. This Law introduced significant innovations: the disposal of regional funds to support local administrations when drafting PEBAs; the delivery of a software application to facilitate the drawing of these plans; the establishment of a reference center in charge of training, information and consultancy activities on accessibility at a regional level (CRIBA); the delivery of a regional observatory for mapping and continuous monitoring of accessibility conditions and the implementation of PEBAs. The paper presents: i) an overview of the interdisciplinary work carried out by the Universities with the Region and CRIBA; ii) a focus on Universities' research activities and the current state of the collaboration process; iii) reflections on further research and its operational outcomes.
自意大利法律引入建筑无障碍计划（PEBAs）以来，已经过去了三十多年。然而，市政当局对其的实施仍然有限，可达性通常被理解为消除单个物理障碍的结果，而不是根据通用设计（UD）标准开发可用且包容的城市空间和集体设备的互联系统。自 2018 年以来，意大利的弗留利-威尼斯朱利亚自治区与的里雅斯特大学和乌迪内大学合作，将 UD 作为实施第 10/2018 号地区法律的核心。该法律引入了重大创新：处置地区资金，以支持地方当局在起草 PEBAs 时的使用；提供软件应用程序，以方便这些计划的绘制；建立一个负责在地区层面提供无障碍培训、信息和咨询活动的参考中心（CRIBA）；提供一个区域观测站，用于绘制和持续监测无障碍条件，并实施 PEBAs。本文介绍了：i）大学与地区和 CRIBA 开展的跨学科工作概述；ii）重点介绍大学的研究活动和当前合作过程的状态；iii）对进一步研究及其运作结果的思考。
