The main purpose of the study was identification of the social barriers restraining the integration process of disabled people into various spheres of social life and social relationships. The twenty years period between studies enables the comparison of changes and their dynamics in the integration v/s separation oriented tendencies of our society towards the disabled, and indicate the areas where the perceived distance is still most visible.
