This work presents an approach to automatically detect structural floor elements such as steps or ramps in the immediate environment of buildings, elements that may affect the accessibility to buildings. The methodology is based on Mobile Laser Scanner (MLS) point cloud and trajectory information. First, the street is segmented in stretches along the trajectory of the MLS to work in regular spaces. Next, the lower region of each stretch (the ground zone) is selected as the ROI and normal, curvature and tilt are calculated for each point. With this information, points in the ROI are classified

Abstract:

Accessibility is a very pivotal discourse for people with dissabilities as it encourages their equal participation and independence in the society. Accessibility, in this paper, is divided into 2 (two) kinds, which are physical and nonphysical one. The physical accessibility refers to accesibilty in the relations with buildings and environment whereas the nonphysical one corresponds to communication, information and technology.

Abstract. Planning for post-disaster accessibility is essential for the provision of emergency and other services to protect life and property in impacted areas. Such planning is particularly important in congested historic districts where narrow streets and at-risk structures are more common and may even prevail. Indeed, a standard method of measuring accessibility, through the use of isochrones, may be particularly inappropriate in these congested historic areas. Bucharest, Romania, is a city with a core of historic buildings and narrow streets. Furthermore, Bucharest ranks second only to Is

In the form of evacuation routes, safety handling must be prioritized especially in high-rise buildings. When the fire occurs, the most important thing apart from extinguishing the fire is to bring the occupants out of the building as soon as possible to prevent any casualties.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Preventive actions of cultural heritage continuously emerge in order to preserve the identity of the respective civilizations, retain its cultural significance and ensure its accessibility to present and future generations. 3D geomatics technologies along with UAV systems are widely used for documenting existing structures especially in difficult-to-access areas. In addition, Building Information Modelling (BIM) for cultural heritage gains ground towards the sustainable management, update and maintenance of the information. To this context, the c

Aim: This study investigated the accessibility of refunctionalized museums to people with disabilities. Method On-site observations were performed to determine whether refunctionalized museums were accessible to people with disabilities. Results: The results show that people with disabilities are denied experiencing refunctionalized museums because they cannot access them. Conclusion: Refunctionalized museums offer insufficient solutions to promote the accessibility of people with disabilities. Therefore, better solutions should be offered to help them access cultural heritage. However, it sho

Abstract:

This paper offers a literature review for a study that intends to explore heritage boutique hotels’ methods in adapting accessibility. Methodology employed for this paper is mainly an analysis of secondary data from scholarly articles and other types of academic publications. Topics being discussed emerged from the issue of accessible tourism to the accessibility adaptation in repurposed heritage buildings, which then scoped to the heritage boutique hotel trends in today’s tourism industry. The literature reviews highlight the heritage boutique hotels’ ability in providing distinctive cultural

Abstract:

As interest in sustainable design increases, many methods have been suggested to develop an integrated sustainable design process. However, due to the lack of a scientific procedure using parametric tools for an objective evaluation, it is difficult to move forward with integrated sustainable design. In addition, the design priority of the indoor environment is still relatively low because of the score composition of the green-building certification system. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a simulation tool and method to help apartment-complex layout planning in urban contexts by focusin

Abstract:

This paper conveys the findings on hotel buildings evaluation in the peri-urban of Semarang based on ex-ante evaluation. Ex-ante is an evaluation model before project activities are implemented to minimize development impacts. Evaluation of altitude was done with three models, namely the ratio of floor area (FAR), Angle of Light Obstruction (ALO), and building height calculation in the airport area applicable in Indonesia. Furthermore, the evaluation of the strategic value of the location with three criteria was the proximity of industrial zone, accessibility, and proximity to tourist destinat

Abstract:

LEED Canada for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance (LEED Canada EB:O&M) and Building Owners and Managers Association's Building Environmental Standards (BOMA BESt) are complex green rating systems that offer owners, managers, consultants, and tenants distinct value propositions for existing buildings. Upon close examination, significant variations between the systems are evident in certification process, cost, rigor, engagement, marketing, accessibility, transparency, management, and program philosophy. Despite the many differences between the systems, they are often seen to be

Abstract:

People with physical disabilities often face many challenges due to the non-compliance of public buildings to accessibility standards. Hence, it is necessary to provide them with relevant information about the quality of access associated with the environment they plan to visit. In this paper, we propose ‘AccessVOR’ (Accessibility assessment based on VORonoï Diagram), a novel approach that aims to automatically generate an indoor navigation network and to assess its accessibility for people moving with wheelchairs based on the American with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG).
