Social Sustainable Accessibility for People with Disabilities at Public Transport Stations through Sustainable Development Goals in Malaysia

Abstract

It is important to consider sustainable design for accessibility in all aspects of physical development. The accessibility of social sustainable for people with disabilities (PWDs) is essential to ensure that they do not feel segregated from the community. The facilities provided must be user-friendly at places where they live and work. Although there are common facilities for PWDs, most of them do not function well and are not convenient to be used by the disabled people. One primary way to assist them to be self-dependent and self-reliant is to improve the accessibility for people with disabilities at public transport stationsKeywords: Social; Sustainable; Disabled; PWDseISSN: 2398-4287 © 2018.

Participative Placemaking in Serbia: The Use of the Limitless GIS Application in Increasing the Sustainability of Universal Urban Design

“…The Limitless GIS application and e-platform provides an input for the sustainable design which should contribute to the overall urban accessibility and ensure the full inclusion of people with limited mobility in the community. Therefore, this application could be used as a tool which enables its users to be self-dependent and self-reliant, while improving the accessibility of public spaces, transportation systems and public facilities throughout cities [23].…”

Integration of Land Use and Transport to Reach Sustainable Development Goals: Will Radical Scenarios Actually Get Us There?

“…The selection of goals, targets and indicators varied greatly in the field of transportation and land use, with a focus SDG Goal 3 for Good Health and Well-Being and Goal 11 for Sustainable Cities and Communities. Most of the efforts covered Target 3.6 for Goal 3, related to road safety [4] and transport emissions [5][6][7]; Target 11.2 for Goal 11, related to urban access and transport [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] and Target 11.3, for Goal 11 related to land use [15]. A few authors proposed indicators for all fields [3,16,17].…”

“…A few authors proposed indicators for all fields [3,16,17]. Regarding urban access and transport, authors have focused their analysis on barriers to access public transport for persons with disabilities [11,14], quantifying city-wide accessibility [9] or city-wide mobility inequality [12], evaluating national accessibility to services [13] or estimating national sustainability indexes [10].…”

Appliance Control with IOT-Arduino of Voice Command Detection for Mobility Impaired People

“…For example, 23.8% of European population is expected to reach 65 years or older by year 2030, and researchers are looking for technological improvement in home environment that could help with performing tasks and health management [2]. Locally, 34% of Malaysian is physically disabled, making them one of the largest disabled group after learning disability [3]. Physical disability (also may be described as mobility impairment) may occur at birth due to developmental disabilities or as a result from accident, trauma or any underlying health issues.…”
