Abstract:

This article aims to stir the problem of obstacles and inconveniences faced by people with disabilities (including with reduced mobility , elderly , deaf , visually impaired and blind). The aim is to draw attention to the role played by the designer , both the architect and creator of utilitarian objects in shaping the impact on the comfort of living together in society of people with a complete physical and disabled. The need for education and promote greater awareness of these " dysfunctions " should be developed through places where non-disabled person is able to face the everyday barriers disabled person. An important aspect is to create awareness architect in the field of universal design at the stage of studies. More attention should focus on the design of everyday objects for the disabled so as not to have to change them later by artificial means. The article focuses on the problems and the positive examples of solutions in the process of shaping the architecture tailored to the needs of such people. The aim is also analysis of urban solutions that favor their functioning in everyday life. The authors are also examples of architectural and urban planning from both the Polish and the world. They show the importance and contribution of the architect in creating private and public spaces that surround us every day.

Abstract:

The main barriers to the exclusion of people with disabilities from society are architectural, urban and social barriers of all kinds. Adapting areas and buildings to the needs of people with disabilities is one way of combating social exclusion and an important therapeutic element. In this paper the problem of social exclusion of people with disabilities due to architectural and psychological barriers (social prejudices) has been addressed. The Rehabilitation and Recreation Centre in Okuninka served as an example of a place fully adapted to the needs of the disabled, called barrier-free architecture.

Abstract:

New trends in multi-agent systems call for self-adaptation and high dynamics, hence the new model of open MAS or virtual organization of agents. However, as existing agent platforms are not yet equipped to support this behavior, it is necessary to create new systems and mechanisms to facilitate the development of these new architectures. This article presents PANGEA, an agent platform to develop open multi-agent systems, specifically those including organizational aspects such as virtual agent organizations. The platform allows the integral management of organizations and offers tools to the end user. Additionally, it includes a communication protocol based on the IRC standard, which facilitates implementation and remains robust even with a large number of connections. The introduction of a CommunicationAgent and a Sniffer make it possible to offer Web Services for the distributed control of interaction. In order to test PANGEA, an integral system was developed to help the disabled, gathering a set of easily deployable and integrated services under a single architecture.

Abstract:

Abstract Disability has become an increasingly important field of investment for modern welfare policy-visible in architecture for wheelchair users as well as in budgets for health care. This documents a gain in solidarity, but it implies also some challenges of practical and philosophical character. Play and games (of, for, and with disabled people) make these challenges bodily. These challenges will here be explored in three steps. In the first step, we discover the paradoxes of equality and categorization, normalization and deviance in the understanding of disability. Ableism, a negative view on disability, is just around the corner. The Paralympic sports for disabled people make this visible. However, play with disabled people shows alternative ways. And it calls to our attention how little we know, so far, about how disabled people play. The second step leads to an existential phenomenology of disablement. Sport and play make visible to what degree the building of “handicap” is a cultural achievement. All human beings are born disabled and finally die disabled-and inbetween they create hindrances to make life dis-eased. Dis-ease is a human condition. However, and this is an important third step, disablement and dis-eased life are not just one, but highly differentiated. These differences are relevant for political practice and have to be recognized. Attention to differences opens up a differential phenomenology of disablement and of disabled people in play-as a basis for politics of recognition.

Abstract:

“Disabling” forensic detention involves challenging the self-evidence of the meaning of disability in forensic mental health law, and in turn illuminating the significance of this meaning to the possibility and permissibility of forensic detention and other interventions in the bodies of people designated with cognitive impairments and psychosocial disabilities (“people designated as disabled”). I apply this approach to an examination of a case study of one individual subjected to forensic detention: an Indigenous Australian woman with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Roseanne Fulton. By examining Fulton’s forensic detention, in the context of her earlier life circumstances and her subsequent journey through various “alternatives” to this forensic detention I show the interrelationships of forensic detention with a range of legal options for punishing, regulating and intervening in designated as disabled bodies and situate these interrelationships in a broader range of issues of violence, institutional failure, social disadvantage, settler colonialism, and ableism. My central argument is that the ongoing subjection of Fulton to a range of forms of control across her life suggest that the possibility of forensic detention and other forms of punishment of people designated as disabled is not attached to a particular material architectural space or a particular court order, but instead attaches to these individuals’ bodies via medico-legal designations as disabled and travels with these individuals through time and space. I propose that more directly it is the disabled body that is the space of punishment and the disabled body makes material architectural spaces punitive. A “reform”, indeed even an “abolition”, approach focused on material architectural spaces of disabled punishment will not interrupt the ongoing processes of control of criminalized people designated as disabled if it does not also acknowledge and challenge the temporal and carnal logics underpinning the carcerality of the disabled body itself.

Abstract:

We describe the main components that form an accessible educational environment for people with disabilities. Based on the analysis of the regulatory legal framework of education, social protection and rehabilitation of people with disabilities, as well as theoretical, procedural and medical-expert bases of disability, the characteristics of the interrelated elements of accessibility in the system of vocational education of people with disabilities is given. The main legal acts of the Russian Federation, as well as international acts regulating the provision of accessible education and employment for the disabled are considered. We reveal that vocational education of people with disabilities is at the same time an integral part of the system of vocational rehabilitation of disabled people. We also emphasize that the independent way of life of people with disabilities should be ensured through the accessibility of the physical, social, economic and cultural environment. The importance of the rehabilitation component of the accessible educational environment for the people with disabilities is highlighted. This component includes the provision of assistance to the disabled person in the development of professional educational programs, the solution of related learning problems, formation of professional, social and psychological maturity of the disabled person. The importance of technical means of rehabilitation and architectural and planning aspects in creating an accessible educational environment for the disabled is noted. Taking into account all the necessary components will allow to create a system of affordable and quality vocational education for people with disabilities.

Abstract:

Between 10% and 15% of the world's population are thought to be disabled. The 2006 United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is an example of emerging global policy architecture for human rights for disabled people. Article 24 states that disabled people should receive the support required to facilitate their effective education. In research, links between higher education access, equalities and disability are being explored by scholars of the sociology of higher education. However, with the exception of some small-scale studies from Zimbabwe, South Africa, Rwanda, Namibia, Uganda and Pakistan, literature tends to come from the global North. Yet there is a toxic correlation between disability and poverty – especially in the global South. This article is based on a review of the global literature on disability in higher education and interview findings from the project ‘Widening Participation in Higher Education in Ghana and Tanzania: developing an Equity Scorecard’, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and the Department for International Development. A central finding was that while disability was associated with constraints, misrecognition, frustration, exclusion and even danger, students' agency, advocacy and achievement in higher education offered opportunities for transforming spoiled identities.

Abstract:

Este estudo objetiva o desenvolvimento de instrumentos de Avaliação Pós-Ocupação (APO) destinados a alunos com deficiência física, auditiva e visual. Tem-se como meta a elaboração de referencial teórico e prático para futuros trabalhos relacionados a APO em escolas que considerem a inclusão da opinião dos alunos com deficiência e visa à melhoria qualitativa das condições de uso e o consequente favorecimento da inclusão dos mesmos. A avaliação da acessibilidade, conforto ambiental, segurança patrimonial e contra incêndios, dentre outras formas de avaliação, em ambientes escolares, tem adotado, no meio acadêmico, a APO como uma das metodologias. A APO consiste na aplicação de um conjunto de métodos e técnicas no ambiente construído e nos seus usuários e objetiva aferir o desempenho físico e a satisfação dos usuários em relação ao ambiente (ORNSTEIN; BRUNA; ROMÉRO, 1995). Alinhados com os objetivos do grupo de pesquisa Qualidade e Desempenho no Ambiente Construído, da Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade de São Paulo (FAUUSP), se apresentam os resultados da elaboração e da aplicação dos instrumentos de coleta de dados: entrevista lúdica e questionário, adaptados aos alunos de pré-escola com deficiência física, auditiva e visual utilizando como base os resultados dos instrumentos aplicados na direção e nos docentes (entrevistas), bem como na observação dos alunos em três escolas especiais3 localizadas na cidade de São Paulo. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada em duas etapas, nos períodos entre agosto e dezembro de 2009 (pré-teste) e de 2010 (validação). A primeira etapa da pesquisa de campo teve como meta a verificação prática da metodologia proposta, incluindo a receptividade e a participação dos alunos envolvidos e a prospecção de erros visando à melhoria dos instrumentos para a nova aplicação realizada em 2010, que teve como meta a validação dos mesmos, bem como a comprovação das premissas levantadas. Adotou-se como estratégia de pesquisa o estudo de casos múltiplos incorporados (YIN, 2005), que se baseia em várias fontes de evidências e beneficia-se do desenvolvimento prévio de proposições teóricas para conduzir a coleta e a análise de dados, sendo que cada escola é o objeto de um estudo de caso individual. Este trabalho apresenta caráter qualitativo e multidisciplinar e fundamenta-se nos pressupostos teóricos da arquitetura e da APO, da educação; da pedagogia; da medicina; da sociologia e da psicologia ambiental, dentre outras áreas. Constatou-se que as limitações decorrentes de cada deficiência determinam as especificidades na adaptação e no processo de aplicação dos instrumentos para coleta de dados visando à medição da satisfação destes usuários em relação ao ambiente da pré-escola. 3 A escola especial ou escola de educação especial oferece atendimento especializado, separado da rede regular de ensino, somente para os alunos com deficiência, sempre que, em função das condições específicas dos alunos, não for possível a sua integração nas classes comuns de ensino regular. Cada escola especial é especializada em uma deficiência específica e a sua associação com outras deficiências, limitações, condições ou disfunções. 4 O termo usual é pessoa com deficiência. Os termos constantes nas palavras-chave foram extraídos do Vocabulário Controlado do Sistema Integrado de Bibliotecas - SIBI (UNIVERSIDADE DE SÃO PAULO, 2006).
This study aims at developing Post-Occupational Evaluation tools (POE) for students with physical, hearing, and visual disabilities. The objective consists of elaborating theoretical and practical references for future studies related to POE in schools that consider the opinion of students with disabilities and aim at qualitative conditions of use and inclusion. POE has been adopted as a method to assess accessibility, environmental comfort, asset security and fire safety, among other types of evaluation, in school environments. POE consists of applying a range of methods and techniques in the built environment in order to assess the users\" satisfaction in relation to it (ORNSTEIN; BRUNA; ROMÉRO; 1995). The results of data designing and application are aligned with the aims of the Quality and Performance in the Built Environment research group, of the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of São Paulo (FAUUSP): playful interview and questionnaire adapted to pre-school children with physical, hearing and visual disabilities based on results of tools applied in the head and teachers (interviews) as well as on the observation of students in three special schools5 located in the city of São Paulo. The field research was conducted in two phases: between August and December of 2009 (pre-testing) and of 2010 (validation). The first phase of the field research focused on the practical evaluation of the chosen method, including reception and participation of students involved and prediction of mistakes to improve tools for the new application, which occurred in 2010, in order to validate them, as well as to confirm the stated premises. The study of multiple incorporated cases has been adopted (YIN, 2005), which is based on various sources of evidence and benefits from previous development of theoretical propositions to perform data collection and analysis, being each school the object of an individual case study. This research presents qualitative and multidisciplinary approach and is based on theoretical presuppositions of architecture and POE; education; pedagogy; medicine; sociology and environmental psychology, among other areas. It has been observed that the limitations associated to each disability determine specificities in the adaptation and application of data collection instruments to assess the satisfaction of subjects in relation to pre-school environment. 5 A special school or a school for special education offers specialized education outside the regular school system, exclusively for disabled students who, due to their specific needs, cannot be integrated in regular classes. Each special school is skilled in one type of disability and its association with other deficiencies, limitations, conditions, or disorders. 6 The usual term is person with disability. The words chosen as keywords are based on the Controlled Vocabulary of the Integrated System of Libraries - SIBI (UNIVERSITY OF SÃO PAULO, 2006)

Abstract:

This research set-out to: a) investigate attitudes of disabled people (adults) toward other disabled people; and, b) attitudes of disabled people toward different impairment groups. Comparative data from a non-disabled sample was also collected. Two new attitude rating scales were developed for this research: the General Attitude Scale Toward Disabled People (GASTDP) and the Attitude Toward Impairment Scale (A TIS). Both scales achieved acceptable levels of internal and external reliability. Positive attitudes toward disabled people were found from both the disabled (M = 41.08; n = 193) and non-disabled samples (M = 39.29; n = 120). However, a hierarchy of impairment also appears to exist, with the disabled sample producing a rank ordering of most accepted to least of Deaf, Arthritis, Epilepsy, Cerebral Palsy, HIV/AIDS, Down's Syndrome and Schizophrenia. The nondisabled sample rank ordering was the same for five of the seven impairment groups, with only Cerebral Palsy and HIV / AIDS being placed in reverse order. The GASTDP contains two sub-scales (Subtle and Blatant Prejudice subscales). Statistically significant results between the two sub-scales were found for both the disabled and non-disabled samples, suggesting people tend to hold subtle forms of prejudice toward disabled people. The discussion therefore utilises the term aversive disablism, based on aversive racism. This theory argues that whilst people may be reluctant to express negative attitudes toward disabled people, they may also support policies that are disablist, i.e. segregated housing. The contact hypothesis, whereby contact with members of a minority group influence attitudes, was not supported by the data. This thesis recommends further research into subtle forms of prejudice toward disabled people from an in-group perspective and attitudes toward different impairment groups.

Abstract:

The fast developing technologies can benefit disabled people from many ways. However, it also formed new gap to them and caused their lives to be marginalized by the digital society. The purpose of this research was to find out issues and problems disabled people meet in the e-Society. A literature study was conducted as the research method by trying to follow the principles of systematic literature review method. 51 articles were collected from the online publication database to support this research. The results found out that the reasons caused the exclusion of disabled people are because of the issues of affordability, impairments of disabled people and social phenomenon. The price of mainstream technologies in the market is not affordable to the majority number of disabled people since the low employment rate and low income level keep most of them living in poverty. On one hand, the impairments of disabled people not only affect their lives and works, but also limited their ability to have the access to various technologies. On the other hand, the design of technologies has not fully covered the needs of disabled users, which causes many challenges and problems during the experiment of technologies. Moreover, due to the average low level of education, disabled people are lacking of technical knowledge in how to use ICT, especially in the group of female and senior people with disabilities. The most important finding in this research paper demonstrates that more than half of the articles mentioned the issue of lacking awareness in disabled people. The situation of exclusion of disabled people in today’s digital world can be changed if the whole society could pay more attention to their challenges and problems.

Abstract:

This dissertation considers how and why the labour market disadvantage of disabled people persists. Unpacking debates about how disabled people and labour market disadvantage can be conceptualised it reviews how theoretical insights from labour economics and sociology/disability studies can enrich a social model of disability. Drawing on the concepts of social claims and capabilities, the main task becomes one of exploring how a range of social actors and institutions are involved in enabling or constraining the capabilities that may facilitate the economic functioning of disabled people. Having noted the diversity embodied in the social category disabled people the emphasis is on capturing at least some of this diversity. This is done by exploring the experiences of people in the communities in which they live their everyday lives within the changing context of the labour market and public policy. The research uses an empirical base of material drawn from two localities in East London and Greater Manchester. It is interview based developing case studies at a number of levels: employed and non-employed disabled people, local employment projects and support services and public and private sector employers. Issues around the benefit system, and economic security, emerge as particularly prominent in the lives of the non-employed. Via an exploration of policy and practice, the quality of and balance between supply and demand-side policies that are ostensibly geared towards moderating the incidence and experience of labour market disadvantage are questioned. In so doing, there is criticism of the accounting framework that underpins capitalist employment relations and public policy . In concludes that both the supply and demand sides of the labour market are of fundamental importance in nourishing capabilities. There is a need to develop a policy framework that has a focus on how capabilities can be enabled with more pro-active measures to acknowledge and address inequalities of circumstance and the desire of disabled people to participate.

Abstract:

The main focus of this thesis is to investigate the mental worlds of intellectually disabled people. It is intended to provide information about how members of this population construe their environments and how recent changes in the philosophy of care have affected their construct systems. Personal construct theory is used as the model that underpins the studies in the thesis and a modified version of repertory grid technique is developed and used to explore physical and social aspects of each subject's environment. After a pilot study was conducted to establish the viability of using modified rep grid techniques with this population, a longitudinal study over a four year period investigated the social constructs of 15 intellectually disabled residents. Eight were still in an institution at the end of the study and seven had moved into the community during that period. A comparison group of eight staff were sampled at the beginning of the longitudinal study. Information is made available concerning the size and complexity of each subject's construct system. It was found that the size and content of the construct systems of intellectually disabled people is limited relative to the comparison group and does not change significantly over four years. construct systems were analysed using two computerbased programs that solved the patterns of interrelationships and a graphic presentation of the network of significant correlations between constructs was completed. It was found that the graphic presentation was adequate for the intellectually disabled respondents but not for the comparison group. No difference was found between the community-based group of intellectually disabled people and those still resident in the hospital after four years. A further study with 17 intellectually disabled people, parents and non-parents, found no difference in their construct systems of children. These results are discussed in the context of the present philosophy and practice of normalisation and social role valorisation.

Abstract:

Indien är ett utvecklingsland med en ekonomisk tillväxt som ökar inom industri- och tjänstesektorn. Tyvärr verkar inte tillväxt och utveckling nå ut till funktionshindrade och fattiga människor. Under två månader genomfördes en fältstudie i norra delen av Indien; ett arbete som inleddes i Sverige där systemet för hjälpmedel undersöktes. Studien i Indien innehöll intervjuer, en användarstudie och flera besök för att undersöka situationen och starta utvecklingen av en prototyp. Målet var att utveckla en rullstol som lämpar sig för funktionshindrade i Indien och skapa en prototyp för användartestning. Produktutveckling ägde rum under hela projektet; målgrupp och krav på rullstolen kom fram genom brainstorming. Undersökningarna och fältstudien visade att det är en betydande skillnad mellan hur systemet för funktionshindrade personer fungerar i Indien jämfört med Sverige. De flesta av användarna i Indien hade en trehjuling som i grunden är en rullstol men med ett hjul i fronten och annan styrning. Som förbättringar ville användarna erhålla bättre ergonomi och säkerhet. Det slutliga konceptet har en ergonomiskt riktig sittställning, konstruktionen är lägre och mindre än den befintliga trehjulingen. Material för prototypen inhandlades på en marknad och en cykelverkstad i Kanpur. Prototypen jämfördes med den befintliga trehjulingen som är den typ av rullstol som kom närmast konstruktionen av prototypen. Denna jämförelse visade att prototypen är mindre, har ett sänkt underrede och en ny teknik för styrning. Nästa steg i utvecklingen skulle vara att expandera fältstudien, konstruera nästa prototyp och utföra ytterligare användartester.
India is a developing country with an economic growth that is increasing in the industry and service sector. Unfortunately the growth and the development do not seem to reach out to disabled and poor people. During two months a field study was conducted in the northern part of India; the work begun in Sweden where the system of aid was investigated. Research in India contained interviews, a user study and several visits to investigate the situation there and to start a development of a prototype. The aim was to develop a wheelchair suitable for disabled people in India and to create a prototype for user testing. Product development took place throughout the project; target group and demands on the wheelchair was formed through brainstorming. The investigations and field study showed that it is a significant difference between how the system concerning disabled people and aid works in India in comparison with Sweden. Most of the users in India had a tricycle, which is basically a wheelchair with one wheel in the front and with different steering. As improvements, better ergonomics and safety was asked for. The final concept have an ergonomically correct sitting position, is lowered and smaller than the existing tricycle. Materials for prototyping were gathered at a market and a cycle repair shop in Kanpur. The prototype was compared to the existing tricycle, which is the type of wheelchair that came closest to the construction of the prototype. This comparison showed that the prototype is smaller, has a lowered undercarriage and a completely new technique of steering. Next step in the development could be to expand the field study, construct another prototype and conduct further user testing.

Abstract:

There are many 'voluntary sector' led attempts which use personal computers to facilitate improved participation of disabled people in social and economic life ('digital inclusion'). However, the organisation and longer-term outcomes of such projects have tended to remain under-researched. The thesis adopts a long-term focus on the challenges and workarounds that characterise successful or failed attempts by disabled people (typically using off-the- shelf applications for affordability and support reasons) to ensure meaningful connections. Much of the research on 'digital inclusion' projects of this kind tends to be conducted through questionnaires, and often suffers from a 'box-ticking' approach to issues such as 'installation' and 'ICT use' that tends to leave open questions regarding how any challenges were actually resolved (or not) in practice. Furthermore, an often extensive reliance on on- line interviews and questionnaires inevitably leaves non-users unaccounted for. Similarly, research often tends to adopt short-term approaches which overemphasise lCTs' "potential to improve disabled people's lot" (Sheldon, 2004) and thus fail to give a clear picture of what form (the hoped for) 'digital inclusion' did take in practice. Such research therefore tends to focus on end states (before/after) at the expense of questions of processes and practices. This, the thesis argues, is a critical omission since voluntary organisations which are the most common channel for digital inclusion schemes (Social Exclusion Unit, 2005) are unlikely to possess optimal equipment or support. What is often missing in this literature therefore, are accounts of how disabled people and their helpers "muddle through" the technical, support and other challenges they face. Drawing on qualitative research undertaken with a UK non-profit organisation, the thesis focuses on the ways in which disabled people are able (or not) to make use of information technology in their homes, and the challenges, workarounds that are involved in their successful or failed attempts at becoming 'connected'. The general contribution the thesis makes is to the ongoing debate within social science concerned with the role of technologies in social life. Through a focus on disabled people it offers a novel way of entering into this debate which serves to unpack the often taken for granted nature of the role the body plays (in this case, the impaired body) in the organising of 'social' and 'material' (sociomaterial) relations.

Abstract:

Sustainable architecture is important to minimize negative impact of building. In this paper we concentrate on the problem from people with disability point of view. For them one of must important factors of sustainable architecture in public space is the problem connected with architectural barriers. In presented paper we conducted an analysis of hidden factors of architectural barriers on example of municipal office in Sosnowiec in southern part of Poland. During the research we analyzed the needs of persons with disabilities (perceived quality) and their assessment in terms of the level of quality of services provided by the municipal offices. We analyzed twenty fourth variables connected with architectural barriers in the municipal office and its neighborhood. We analyzed following variables: office location (easy to reach), a sufficient number of parking spaces, Z3 - parking spaces for the disabled near the entrance of the office, a clear marking of parking spaces for the disabled, watch for unauthorized persons occupying seats for the disabled, facilities for disabled people in the office, elevators for disabled guests, toilets suitable for disabled guests, handrails of the stairs, a system of ramps and ramps for the disabled, the doors have a width that allows entry wheelchair, anti-slip floor, equal level thresholds and floors, pavement and curbs around the office adapted for the disabled, website provides information for people with disabilities, website readable for people with visual disabilities, officials are turning to people with hearing difficulties by means of a suitable device, officials are talking with a person of hearing in a separate room, the office's employee who knew sign language, officials can serve the customers with guide dog, the office is equipped with a special frame to allow signing a document, the visually handicapped person allows the presence of a trusted person who acquainted her with the content of signed documents, the city council does not contain architectural barriers hindering the movement of physically disabled person, an overall assessment of architectural barriers at the office. Next we conducted factor analysis to identify main hidden factors of architectural barriers.

Abstract:

The paper concentrate on problems connected with problems of peoples with disability. The main aims of the paper is to measure the level of quality of service in the case of architectural barriers in municipal offices by peoples in disability. We made following hypothesis: the types of disability significantly affects the perception of quality of services in municipal office regarding architectural barrier. The problem of satisfaction of people with disability in the case of architectural barriers in municipal office in Sosnowiec was analyzed from type of disability point of view. We distinguished five main types of disability in the paper: sensory impairment – a lack, damage or disorder of sensory analysers’ function (this category includes the blind, the visually impaired, the deaf, hard of hearing persons and people with visual and auditory perception disorders); intellectual impairment – mental retardation; social functioning impairment – disorders of neural and emotional balance; communication impairment – hindered verbal contact (speech impediments, autism, stammering); motor impairment – people with motor organ dysfunction. On the basis of that are discussed in this publication the research, we can conclude that the overall assessment of architectural barriers for people with disabilities is as in the case of the Municipal Office in Sosnowiec at an average level. The problems focus mainly on matters of specialized service selected groups of customers with disabilities who require further elaboration. Another type of problem is to issue a limited number of parking spaces for the disabled, but for objective reasons, it will be difficult to solve. Also we can say that the assessment of the architectural barriers by peoples with various types of disability vary significantly. The architectural barriers are the problem especially for people with motor disabilities – those persons are going to municipal office often and because of type of their disability barriers within the office and near the office is the big problem for them. The results are supporting the hypothesis that the type of disability affects perception of architectural barriers by peoples with disabilities.

Abstract:

In this paper is described a new solution for a stair-climbing wheelchair: a device that allows disabled people to autonomously overcome architectural barriers. The paper presents the evolution of a project introduced in previous works. The aim is to obtain a wheelchair able to move both in structured and unstructured environments and overcome single steps or an entire staircase. The innovative aspect of this work is the introduction of a hybrid solution, with a locomotion system based on wheels and an idle track for the vehicle stability. The locomotion group permits to overcome obstacles through an original architecture based on an epicycloidal transmission. The control logic manages the motors that drive independently the two degrees of freedom of the transmission and allows to switch from an advancing mode to a climbing one. The wheelchair must be able to move in different environments, such as flat ground or stairs, which require different specifications, sometimes in contrast. For this reason the main part of the work regards the design of a reconfiguration mechanism able to prepare the wheelchair for different working conditions. First of all the relative positions between the elements that compose the wheelchair structure in different configuration are studied in order to optimize the performances especially in terms of regularity. Then several possible solutions for the reconfiguration mechanism are presented and qualitatively evaluated, in order to choose the one that satisfy the design specifications.

Abstract:

The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under five key headings:  Building blocks: The ultimate aim should be to build rich, detailed and testable narratives situated within a European context, and addressing phenomena from the longue durée to the short-term over international to local scales. Chronological control is essential to this and effective dating strategies are required to enable generation-level analysis. The ‘serendipity factor’ of archaeological work must be enhanced by recognising and getting the most out of information-rich sites as they appear. o There is a pressing need to revisit the archives of excavated sites to extract more information from existing resources, notably through dating programmes targeted at regional sequences – the Western Isles Atlantic roundhouse sequence is an obvious target. o Many areas still lack anything beyond the baldest of settlement sequences, with little understanding of the relations between key site types. There is a need to get at least basic sequences from many more areas, either from sustained regional programmes or targeted sampling exercises. o Much of the methodologically innovative work and new insights have come from long-running research excavations. Such large-scale research projects are an important element in developing new approaches to the Iron Age.  Daily life and practice: There remains great potential to improve the understanding of people’s lives in the Iron Age through fresh approaches to, and integration of, existing and newly-excavated data. o House use. Rigorous analysis and innovative approaches, including experimental archaeology, should be employed to get the most out of the understanding of daily life through the strengths of the Scottish record, such as deposits within buildings, organic preservation and waterlogging. o Material culture. Artefact studies have the potential to be far more integral to understandings of Iron Age societies, both from the rich assemblages of the Atlantic area and less-rich lowland finds. Key areas of concern are basic studies of material groups (including the function of everyday items such as stone and bone tools, and the nature of craft processes – iron, copper alloy, bone/antler and shale offer particularly good evidence). Other key topics are: the role of ‘art’ and other forms of decoration and comparative approaches to assemblages to obtain synthetic views of the uses of material culture. o Field to feast. Subsistence practices are a core area of research essential to understanding past society, but different strands of evidence need to be more fully integrated, with a ‘field to feast’ approach, from production to consumption. The working of agricultural systems is poorly understood, from agricultural processes to cooking practices and cuisine: integrated work between different specialisms would assist greatly. There is a need for conceptual as well as practical perspectives – e.g. how were wild resources conceived? o Ritual practice. There has been valuable work in identifying depositional practices, such as deposition of animals or querns, which are thought to relate to house-based ritual practices, but there is great potential for further pattern-spotting, synthesis and interpretation. Iron Age Scotland: ScARF Panel Report v  Landscapes and regions:  Concepts of ‘region’ or ‘province’, and how they changed over time, need to be critically explored, because they are contentious, poorly defined and highly variable. What did Iron Age people see as their geographical horizons, and how did this change?  Attempts to understand the Iron Age landscape require improved, integrated survey methodologies, as existing approaches are inevitably partial.  Aspects of the landscape’s physical form and cover should be investigated more fully, in terms of vegetation (known only in outline over most of the country) and sea level change in key areas such as the firths of Moray and Forth.  Landscapes beyond settlement merit further work, e.g. the use of the landscape for deposition of objects or people, and what this tells us of contemporary perceptions and beliefs.  Concepts of inherited landscapes (how Iron Age communities saw and used this longlived land) and socal resilience to issues such as climate change should be explored more fully.  Reconstructing Iron Age societies. The changing structure of society over space and time in this period remains poorly understood. Researchers should interrogate the data for better and more explicitly-expressed understandings of social structures and relations between people.  The wider context: Researchers need to engage with the big questions of change on a European level (and beyond). Relationships with neighbouring areas (e.g. England, Ireland) and analogies from other areas (e.g. Scandinavia and the Low Countries) can help inform Scottish studies. Key big topics are: o The nature and effect of the introduction of iron. o The social processes lying behind evidence for movement and contact. o Parallels and differences in social processes and developments. o The changing nature of houses and households over this period, including the role of ‘substantial houses’, from crannogs to brochs, the development and role of complex architecture, and the shift away from roundhouses. o The chronology, nature and meaning of hillforts and other enclosed settlements. o Relationships with the Roman world
