The article examines the problem of accessibility of objects of social infrastructure of the Kola Peninsula for disabled people. The study was based on the method of monitoring the state of infrastructure in 13 settlements of the region, in which 701 objects were examined for accessibility for the disabled. As a result of observation, the objects were divided into accessible, conditionally accessible and inaccessible; accessibility indices were calculated for different areas of activity. The study revealed uneven processes of creating an accessible environment in the Kola North, depending on the type of settlements and the location of objects. Most of the accessible infrastructure facilities are located in cities on central streets and are aimed at access mainly for people with musculoskeletal disorders. Social protection institutions, banks and post offices provide access for people with disabilities best of all. In other areas of activity, objects are only partially accessible.

The article actualizes the necessity for the inclusive tourism development and establishes its importance for people with disabilities. It is revealed that the implementation of the state policy in the field of inclusive tourism and development planning of this sector at national and regional levels must meet two principles. The fist principle is "universal design", which provides the creation of a barrier-free environment for the unimpeded access to facilities and services to all citizens regardless of their existing disability. The second one is "reasonable accommodation" through creating adaptive social environment from the point of view of the necessity and possibility commensuration by means of adapting the environment to the needs of people with disabilities, on the basis of which the principal guidelines and key priorities in the sphere of state regulation of this type of tourism are formulated. The analysis of the content of the state program "Accessible Environment" and the scope of the methodology is carried out. The latter allows to objectify and systematize the accessibility of facilities and services in priority areas of life of people with disabilities, the most significant of which are: the organization of monitoring the accessibility of facilities and services for people with disabilities; the development of services and organizations that provide these services considering the needs of the disabled and other people with limited mobility; the development of plans and programs for adaptation through the development of social infrastructure; preparation and dissemination of information and reference materials. This allowed us to indicate the main directions of the regional policy covering economic, social, environmental and technological aspects. Each aspect includes a corresponding set of methods and tools of state support in the development of inclusive tourism.

Ideally, the practice of worship should be carried out easily by everyone, but in fact there are still many people with disabilities who experience difficulties in implementing it, not even a few of them have left worship because of low religious-related understanding and lack of motivation from the community to include persons with disabilities. carry out daily worship obligations. These problems are experienced by people with disabilities, especially physically disabled in the "Rumah Kasih Sayang" in Krebet village. People with disabilities by the community are considered as groups who are no longer obliged to worship, they are sufficiently fostered with a variety of skills obtained from the institution, empowered by breeding goats from compensation without even being physically invited to pray together in the mosque or prayer room. Religious inclusiveness needs to be built between the community and the physically disabled, the community must be given an understanding that as long as the disabled person meets the taklif provisions, there is no privilege that disqualifies the obligation of worship for the disabled. The research questions are: 1) What are the implications of the fiqh guidance of worship for the disabled in the "Rumah Kasih Sayang" Krebet Jambon Village? 2) What are the implications of fiqh material for worship for the people of Krebet Jambon Village ?.

Communication requires unconditional respect for the other. Acknowledging the qualities of the people   is a basis for good communication.  Communication starts when you accept the people the way they are. The social, economic and technical development provides opportunities for good professional realization of people with special educational needs.  The resistance, striving for “survival” and successful “introduction” into the social life are a prerequisite for success. The people who are stigmatized and their families are aware that once they have been labeled, they should have to overcome this stigma and to take the maximum possible good out of this label. Positive stigma stimulates the people with disabilities seek more contacts, to become more independent and to realize themselves adequately in the social life. The survey of attitudes and motivation scale contact with people with disabilities give reliable information about what is the attitude of students towards people with disabilities and what were their contacts. The successful integration into society of people with special educational needs depends also on the perceptions and attitudes of the professionals who work with them too. Undoubtedly, the attitudes and models for the disabled people change and will continue to change. In this context the disabled people should develop social identity and public awareness, but not only in their stigmatized group, but in a broad social aspect.

The perception of employing people with disabilities in China and the United States The concept of disability has been accompanied by controversies, stereotypes and stigmatization for years. Despite the fact that the number of people with disabilities in China and the United States is still growing, the issue of perceiving the functioning of disabled people in the society and including them to the work environment remains unsolved, notwithstanding the number of legal regulations and financial incentives in China and USA to change the employment of people with disabilities. This study compares the perception of employment of people with disabilities in China and the United States. The comparison was based on a self-conducted study among the Chinese community between February and March 2020 on a group of 121 people using the CAWI method (Computer Assisted Web Interview) and an American study: A national survey of consumer attitudes towards companies that hire people with disabilities, by G.N. Siperstein, N. Romano, A. Mohler, and R. Parker, conducted on 803 residents of the USA randomly selected for telephone interviews. The comparison took place, among others, in the assessment of the employment of disabled people by respondents in the context of other social activities in the company, as well as the satisfaction of the respondents with the results of the disabled at work. It was pointed out that in both China and the USA, previous experiences with people with disabilities may affect a more favorable approach towards employing disabled people. However, there are differences in the satisfaction with services provided by people with disabilities, as well as in trust in disabled workers, where Chinese residents have less positive attitude than their American counterparts.

This article constitutes a summary of the literatures and practices on the microfinance industry and its contribution, the status of people with disabilities (PWDs), and the case studies for financial inclusion in Bangladesh. Many Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) are operating to serve all segments of the clients for financial inclusion. People with Disabilities encounter several exclusions in the mainstream microfinance institutions in Bangladesh. At the same time, MFIs faces numerous challenges to serve these people. Even if it is not a formal analysis, it is still found that PWDs encounter tremendous discrimination such as social, political, physical, cultural, environmental; serious barriers including formal and self-employment, less access to credit, government support and social safety net system. On the other hand, these people often put themselves into ‘benefit traps’. Microfinance institutions do not realize that many disabled people are economically active, that disabled customers expect service, and do not know how to adapt products for disabled people. The profitable partnership between MFIs and Disabled People’s Organization (DPOs) are absent in practice. The government’s social safety nets programme is also very limited. Economic rehabilitation would come into progress when integration happens by blending social protection and necessary resources for income generation.
