Evaluation of Accessibility with Wheelchairs Approach for Educational Buildings

Abstract

This research evaluated the building accessibility for disabilities people. Gedung Pusat (GP) UPGRIS, as a once of a public building, is required to comply with the availability for all (include for diffabled people). The current condition causes they are unable to access the facilities of the educational building, which means the student with disability not capable of doing their activities on their own. There are many problems: the doors which width too small, the opening doors direction were false, vertical access was not accessible, lavatory not adapted for disabled, and any other. The objective of this research to evaluate and build a concept redesign for diffabled people's facilities. The architectural design analysis use in the process of restructuring the existing facilities. The solution choices, according to a minimalising budget and less of destruction.

Design of a Support Tool to Improve Accessibility in Heritage Buildings—Application in Case Study for Public Use

“…Moreover, while the consulted references centre on specific types of usage, whether public [13,16,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66] or private [36][37][38][39][40][41], this method encompasses the realm of any public space, allowing its application to built environments with diverse functions, as verified through the undertaken experience.…”

“…Lastly, and being the subject of the present research, recent research that has been conducted in relation to public buildings is highlighted [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51]. These investigations are approached through various typologies and uses, and are focused on university buildings [10,13,16,26,[52][53][54], educational buildings [55,56], medical centres [57,58], primary care centres [59], or commercial buildings [60,61], as well as sports facilities [62][63][64]. Buildings designed for library use [65] or for artistic and cultural purposes [66] are less commonly studied.…”

Analysis of the Accessibility Improvement Index in Urban Areas through Heritage Buildings Used as Museums—Case Studies in the Region of Murcia (Spain)

“…The accessibility needs of the group of users with disabilities are diverse. To make space accessibility specific, understandable, and useful for both users and managers, based on the analysis of the disparity of terms used and the disabilities considered in the extensive existing literature [32,67,68,77,[94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106], five groups of People with Disabilities (PwD) are considered, encompassing various specific situations: wheelchair users, cane or crutch users, visually impaired users, hearing impaired users, and cognitively impaired users (Figure 3). These groups include not only all PwD who may have accessibility problems in the built environment but also other similar circumstances, such as elderly people or people with baby carriages.…”
