The urban environment, by its very nature, is a dynamic environment in which activities are carried out in increasing numbers and with great intensity. People with locomotor disabilities have to cope with this demanding environment. The urban landscape has taken on a new appearance through the construction of access ramps for people with disabilities. The need for socializing and tourist consumption is normal for any person, including those with locomotor disabilities. The study analyzes these "amenities" for people with locomotor disabilities in the urban landscape Romania. The aim of this study is to draw attention to the limits of the tourist resources offered by the urban environment, due to these incorrect arrangements and the danger they pose. The results were obtained after applying the social survey method and interviews with disabled people, as well as with urban dwellers, regarding the access ramps to tourist attractions or other elements of interest in cities.
