Full textAbstract:
Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1988.Includes bibliographical references (leaf 139).
The particular subject of this thesis is Housing for the Elderly. The intention is to propose an architecture which springs from an alternative attitude towards housing the elderly ... an attitude which purports that multiplicity and exchange are the elements crucial to one's well-being; in contrast to the current paradigm within the world of planning for the elderly ... one of segregation, classification and singularity. With a little license, I call this a research and design thesis, as it has been difficult to define. As a 'research' paper, it entails the use of a particular method of selecting, understanding, and (finally) using a range of references in order to distill from them some underlying principles of form. Yet unlike a true research thesis, it is loosely structured and left open-ended ... intentionally so! The 'design' work provides the testing ground for the principles gleaned from those references. It also allows me the opportunity to exercise myself in synthesizing and arranging architecture. Yet as a design thesis, the work is only the start of an architecture process ... far from being complete. In essence, the thesis is an endeavour in knowing a little more about the 'dancing' between referencing and designing.

Full textAbstract:
With rights to access now become basic human rights, it demands a tool for building disability inclusiveness assessment to tell how far we have gone to include persons with disabilities (PWDs) in buildings. Calling for more researches in disability inclusive facilities and inclusive education in various international conventions and statements such as the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006) and the UNESCO Salamanca Statement (1994), the Physical Disability Inclusion Sub-score (PDIS) and the Visual Impairment Inclusion Sub-score (VIIS) as simple, quantitative and more objective tools for assessing higher education buildings were developed here. Other than that whether building professionals have knowledge of the way PWDs access and use buildings were at the same time examined.
This study consists of four parts with (1) conception, (2) the PDIS and the VIIS for assessing the disability inclusiveness of buildings, (3) main survey and (4) conclusion. By way of literature review, the PDIS and the VIIS frameworks were constructed and they were fine-tuned with inputs from building professionals and users with impairments in the pilot phase. NSFDSS but not the far more popular AHP was applied to weight the elements under the PDIS and the VIIS for both credibility and practicality reasons. In all, between March and July 2012, 20 building professionals, 22 persons with physical disability and 21 persons with visual impairment were surveyed. The PDIS and the VIIS then developed were much simplified with around 200 items under about 20 categories. Design was weighed by all to be more important than Management.
Following that 48 higher education buildings from four universities in Hong Kong were assessed in March to September 2013. The dispersal of the PDIS and the VIIS were found largely due to Design rather than Management. In the disability inclusion performance of different categories, Operations and Maintenance, and Management Approaches were respectively the best and the least well performed categories, and Vertical Circulation and Entrance were the more disability inclusive Design categories.
As for hypothesis testing, 13 working hypotheses were developed from 4 main hypotheses. By Spearman’s rank correlation test or the t-test, it was found that building professionals and both persons with physical disability and persons with visual impairment did not weigh the elements under the PDIS and the VIIS differently, and the mean values of the standard deviation of the weightings given by users with impairments were not greater than those given by building professionals. It is evidenced that building professionals somehow have knowledge of the way the physically impaired and the visually impaired access and use buildings, and impaired users are not biased on their experience.
Having the PDIS and the VIIS developed, it is in pole position to adjust and apply them to study other buildings such as health care facilities and office buildings. Towards a more progressively aggressive step is to make changes to them to examine the more complex issue of ageing friendliness of buildings for the grey population following WHO Age-friendly Environments Programme.published_or_final_version

Resumo: O reaproveitamento de resíduos na construção civil tem sido uma alternativa viável para diminuir o consumo de materiais naturais e a disposição inadequada dos resíduos no meio ambiente. Neste trabalho avaliou-se o reaproveitamento de resíduo de borracha de pneus, proveniente do processo de recauchutagem, em substituição parcial do agregado miúdo natural, para a produção de pisos táteis intertravados de concreto. O piso tátil de concreto é uma peça utilizada na pavimentação, que permite a percepção do ambiente ou rotas acessíveis, proporcionando mais segurança e autonomia para as pessoas com deficiência visual. A substituição foi feita em relação à massa da areia nas proporções de 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% e 50%. As seguintes propriedades do concreto foram investigadas: consistência no estado fresco, resistência à compressão, resistência à tração na flexão, absorção de água, índice de vazios, massa específica do concreto endurecido, resistência à abrasão, resistência ao impacto e análise de microestrutura. Embora a grande limitação do uso da borracha de pneus como agregado no concreto seja a redução das resistências mecânicas, os traços com até 50% de substituição atingiram ótimos valores de resistência à compressão e resistência à tração na flexão e apresentaram melhores resultados de resistência à abrasão. A utilização do resíduo de borracha de pneus, em substituição parcial da areia natural no concreto para a produção de piso tátil, além de contribuir com a sustentabilidade na construção civil, por meio da economia de extração de matérias-primas e redução do descarte e acúmulo inadequado de pneus inservíveis, proporcionou melhorias a algumas propriedades importantes para a eficiência e qualidade do piso tátil de concreto
Abstract: The reuse of waste in construction has been a viable alternative to reduce the consumption of natural materials and the improper disposal of waste on the environment. In this work recycled tire rubber (crumb rubber) was used as aggregate in concrete to produce tactile paving block. The concrete tactile paving block allows perception of the place or accessible routes, providing more security and independence for people with visual disabilities. The crumb rubber was used to replace sand by mass at the level of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%. The concrete characterization was performed by testing its consistency, compressive strength, flexural strength, water absorption, porosity, density, abrasion resistance, impact resistance and microstructure analysis. Although the major limitation using the crumb rubber as aggregate in the concrete is to reduce the mechanical strength, the mixtures with up to 50% of substitution reached optimal values ??of compressive strength and flexural strength and showed a better abrasion resistance. The use of crumb rubber in partial replacement of natural sand in concrete to produce tactile paving block, proved to be a viable alternative. Besides contributing to construction sustainability, minimizing the extraction of raw materials, and reducing improper disposal and accumulation of scrap tires, provided improvements to some important properties that assure the efficiency and quality of the concrete tactile paving block

Full textAbstract:
Many countries in the world have in recent years developed measures to increase accessibility to the built environment for persons with disabilities. Of particular concern are facilities such as roads, railways and public premises. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities (CRPD) confers accessibility as a right and gives responsibility to state parties to ensure to persons with disabilities (PWDs) a barrier free environment. The Constitution of Kenya (2010) states that PWDs have a right to facilities including educational that integrate their needs. The Person With Disabilities Act (2003) provides for mechanisms through which such enforcements can be enacted. The body responsible for implementing the Act has developed minimum accessibility guidelines to inform this endeavor as part of Kenya‟s dream of becoming a middle income economy by the year 2030. This research report/treatise details the findings of a pilot baseline survey study conducted in Nairobi, Kisumu and Mombasa Cities.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis deals with the issue of protection of Prague's main train station as a soft target and it's regular operation, mainly by using evacuation model with emphasis on barrier-free issues. Mapping of the building was conducted by using Decree No. 398/2009 Coll. general technical requirements ensuring the barrier-free usage of buildings and their parts. Adapting the environment to people with reduced mobility is not always axiomatic, especially in terms of evacuation. For the movement of these persons it is necessary to take into account their needs and possibilities in normal traffic and during evacuation. The sociological and psychological aspects of crowd and individuals have also significant impact on evacuation. For identifying critical points of the main train station, it has been used knowledge of local research, knowledge of barrier-free buildings, sociology and psychology, and special simulation tools for modeling the movement of people. It has been found that space can be optimized by detailed analysis of simulation outputs to meet all expected requirements without negative impact on barrier-free domain. Thanks to this, it was possible to achieve a new design, which accomplishes higher safety of people with movement and orientation disabilities, especially during emergency situations in building of main train station Prague.

EVALUATING TWO SHOPPING CENTERS
IN THE LIGHT OF PRINCIPLES OF UNIVERSAL DESIGN
Sevük, Muhammet Sancar M. of Arch., Department of Architecture Supervisor of the thesis: Prof. Dr. Vacit Imamoglu April 2011, 156 Pages Starting from the second half of the 20th century, the number of aged people and people with aging-related disabilities has increased significantly in the world. Parallel to this increase, special projects have been developed for aged people in the developed countries, but with these projects aged people were often excluded from society. People with disabilities were already living isolated from society. With the effect of raising awareness in the public after the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, in the course of the last sixty years studies have been realized and new standards and principles have been developed for elderly people and people with disabilities to benefit from the social life equally together with everyone and to raise their quality of life. Starting with the barrier-free design approach, a new period improving and changing the view point of design from general and private design to design for all, to inclusive and/or the universal design has begun. In the thesis, this period has been reviewed through the summarized definitions of these stages. The effects of these improvements have been related to the design and construction of the built environments and buildings. Therefore, people with disabilities started to participate in the society more than ever. The implementation of principles of the Universal Design in the public buildings, especially to hospitals, cultural centers and shopping centers has gained more importance in order to advance full social integration of people with disabilities to the society. Number of shopping centers in Turkey increased rapidly after 1995. In this thesis, two examples were examined and evaluated in the light of universal design principles. The problems faced in these buildings were examined in order to design more inclusive buildings and environments. A brief history of shopping centers was presented. Brief information about some examples of old bazaars from Anatolia and shopping centers from different countries were given.

With growing concern for living and working environment, people demand more functions from architectural environment. Recently, the Ministry of Interior developed 8 evaluation indicator for newly built residential apartments, including structure safety, emergency fire escape, barrier-free environment, air, light, and sound environments, energy-saving and water conservation, apartment maintenance. From 2004 to 2006, Changhwa County government inspected barrier-free architectural environment in the existing public buildings. The first three types of public buildings that facilitate the most barrier-free environment are 168 government agencies, 224 financial institutions (post offices, banks, and cooperatives), and 228 schools. Government agencies where people often go for business rank the lowest in certification of barrier-free environment. Hence, it is proven that government does not pay enough attention in promoting public barrier-free architectural environment. With a scope of research in 168 administrative government buildings in Changhwa County, this study investigated the relationship between space management of barrier-free environment and its obstacles, and the situation that the availability of barrier-free space for handicapped. This study also proposed suggestions after comparing the two with research results as follows: (1) lack of management system for streets and routes of police buildings and ground surface of every buildings; (2) cognitive difference to ground surface skidproof measures; (3) limited budget for streets and routes around police building, slopes, stairways of sub-level units buildings (household registration office, land administration office, health station, police office), customer service and communication facility in every buildings; (4) stairways, restrooms, elevators of sub-level units buildings (household registration office, land administration office, health station, police office) are restricted by current regulation; (5) elevators in the sub-level units buildings (household registration office, land administration office, health station, police office) are restricted by building structure; (6) manpower and experiences are limited for streets and routes of police buildings and emergency facility; (7) instruction and signs of every buildings and meeting space lack accurate concept for maintenance. Based on the above conclusion, suggestions are proposed as follows: (1) loosen the rules and regulation; (2) establish standard and principle; (3) set up a comprehensive maintenance system; (4) organizational adjustment; (5) establish a single window to deal incidents; (6) staff training; (7) collect sufficient fund for expenses.

The barrier-free environment is getting more attention gradually because of rapid social development. The barrier-free environment provides a convenient environment not only for handicaps but also for people with disabilities(ex: temporary physical disability patients, elderly, women with infant, fracture patients). The people with disabilities can also have appropriate assistance in built environment . It must to hold the site meeting with the local barrier-free environment review panel before applying the using license for public architecture’s new construction and expansion. The review panel should make up with local competent authority of buildings’ engineers, handicaps welfare groups, architect association’s engineers. The study investigates the Taichung City Goverment review panel’s suggestion and opinion on The Building Acts and in the site meeting process. To understand what issues should be promoting or improving with review panel’s members interviews. And take the recommendation at last to improve the completeness for barrier-free environment’s facilities review. The purpose of the study including 3 points: 1. Investigate the review acts of barrier-free environment. 2. understanding the review panel &;#39;s suggestion and opinion on The Building Acts. 3. understanding the review panel &;#39;s suggestion and opinion in the site meeting process. The research methods use the document reviewing to review the barrier-free environment’s item in domestic. Then propose nine main items to design the questionnaire survey after arrange the barrier-free environment’s item in domestic. Besides, the questionnaire survey will investigate the review panel’s suggestion by descriptive statistics and cross-analysis methods. The study found three conclusions: 1. The review member’s composition will have different opinion in barrier-free environment’s appropriate analysis 2. Question 1 investigates the most improper two items in The Building Acts are “bathroom” and “wheelchair seating”. Those two items are “free setting” by rules. 3. The review member’s suggest two opinions by review The Building Act and the site meeting process: (1) The installation can’t comply with the existing standards. (2) Some installations don’t have the installation standards that make the facilities constructin more difficult.

With the coming of an aged society and the increasing number of the disabled, the establishment of barrier-free facilities is generally approved. However, as far as the current situation in our country is concerned, we place more emphasis on the deconstruction of the fixed regulations, frequently bringing into existence some barrier-free facilities that are inconvenient and unsafe for the elders and the disabled in governmental buildings. National Freeway Service Area is an indispensable facility in the highway system. It is designed to serve for the public extensively. In order to maintain the basic human right of users, National Freeway Service Area should be equipped with barrier-free construction so that users can make use of the facilities with more independence, convenience, and safety. The major subject of this research is the newly built Service Areas along the NO. 3 National Freeway. The aims of this research are as follows: 1. To collect and organize the basic information about the barrier-free facilities in Nation Freeway Service Area as the reference for the researchers in the future. 2. To explore the perspectives of barrier-free facilities. To induce and analyze the deficits of barrier-free facility norms as the reference for designers. 3. To discuss the need of barrier-free facilities and the design directions for different public spaces. 4. To examine the advantage and disadvantage of the current barrier-free environment in National Freeway Service Areas and propose suggestions for improvement. The methodology of this research is Literature Review. I will collect the Disabled People’s Protection Law, The Building Technique Regulation, The Barrier-free Facility Establishment Principles, together with local and foreign thesis, to understand the definition and categorization of the disabled and to analyze the norms and construction methods of barrier-free facilities. I will investigate the existing situation and draw a general picture of the research subjects. I will see into the current state and time of using the barrier-free facilities, concluding the peak-hour and foot-hour of the exercise of barrier-free facilities, and recording the result with figures. Finally I will adopt questionnaires and interviews to investigate the disable people in the study cases to know the disabled people’s viewpoints about the barrier-free facilities. The result of this study: 1.The barrier-free facilities in the service areas of No.3 National Freeway are set up so fixed and stiff that the spots of those facilities, like barrier-free elevators, parking spaces and toilets, are not so well for using and planning according to the laws and regulations. Especially for the barrier-free path, the linear-setting facilities, there is also not so completed in the laws and regulations for disabilities. So that the architects or designers just plan and set up barrier-free facilities according to laws without think about the real using behaviors of disabilities when they come to service areas. 2. The barrier-free signs show the facilities are barrier-free not just ban symbols mean that anyone could use those, but now in the service areas these signs actually refer to barrier-free facilities are just provided for the disabilities with legal licenses. Absolutely it only makes the disabilities more particular and distinctive. 3. After observing, this research finds that most drivers have to use the barrio-free parking because there are old passengers or disabilities with licenses in cars, not disabilities them self. The drivers can’t use the barrio-free parking in the service areas of No.3 National Freeway if they have no disability licenses. Therefore the barrio-free parking should not open just according to if the drivers or users have disability licenses.

A research report submitted to the Faculty of Management, University of Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the Degree of Masters of Management (in Public and Management Development)
February 2017Accessibility in the built environment has always created barriers for persons with disabilities. Accessibility in public buildings is a key factor for persons with disabilities in achieving livelihoods and independence. However, inaccessible public buildings limits the rights of persons with disabilities to equal participation and prevents them from being equal citizens. Persons with disabilities are often faced with barriers that limit them from actively participating in social and economic life. Many of these barriers are related to accessibility in the built environment. This research report looked into the Department of Public Works’ Accessibility Programme. The accessibility programme intends to make all state-owned buildings accessible for persons with disabilities. The participants of the study were mostly implementers of the accessibility programme and participants from organisations of persons with disabilities. Most of the participants acknowledged the work the Department of Public Works has done. However, they also noted shortcomings in implementing the accessibility programme. The lack of knowledge on disability issues and understanding on how to address accessibility in the built environment was a contributing factor to the ineffective and efficient accessibility programme. The recommendations of the study include inclusive disability programmes in the built environment in the planning, policy development, designing and completion stages. Education and advocacy are highly recommended at all stages of the implementation of the accessibility programme.

Since the first convenient store opened in Taiwan in 1979, various brands of convenient stores of the enterprises vigorously growing at the streets and the lanes, there were 4,000 convenient stores in Taiwan until 1992, which means every store serves 5,200 people in average. The operating mode of convenient stores has transformed from quantity to quality. People can even pay all kinds of the bills in the convenient stores, which makes people are more rely on them. But the insufficient public utilities problems emerged when the incapacities entering the stores, the entrances and the indoor paths. Most of the convenient stores have the barrier-free environment problems, only a small number of them are qualified. This research aims at the buildings for convenient stores in Keelung city (in Taiwan), discussing the reason of the inconvenient entrances of the convenient stores through history researching, environment observing, questionnaire survey and analyzing the standard and law of the barrier-free building design. Investigating the inconvenience of the entrances of convenient stores, analyzing the problems of the unqualified entrances, the sidewalks and the overhang to the path and bring up the improvement solution. This research could be the references of the user, the supervisors, the designer, the structure and materiel, as a standard reference for barrier-free environment According to the investigation and statistic, the route defects are divided into three parts: 1.From road into sidewalk In this item, there are 147 stores without setting indication signs; 51 stores without flat and skid-proof floors; 24 stores with the paths which are under 1.3 meter in width; 2 stores without guiding facilities; 2 stores without continuous guiding borders. 2.From sidewalk into arcade In this item, there are 138 stores without setting indication signs; 65 stores with improper slope ratio; 51 stores without flat and skid-proof floors; 1 store without skid-resistant strips; 17 stores without both-sided handrails; 1 store with improper-caliber handrails. 3.From arcade into store In this item, there are 153 stores without setting indication signs; 18 stores with the clear width which under 80 cm; 74 stores without flat and skid-proof floors; 26 stores without audio-visual indicators; 1 store without the caution zone as wide as the width of the entrance, 30cm (from the entrance) * 60cm in scope. The investigation shows the structure of the path and the elevation of arcades of the buildings cause the problem, the improvement suggestions as below: 1.Establish the details of the building non-barrier environment in the initial designing period. 2.Propagandize the importance of non-barrier environment of the convenient stores, and incorporate it with the estimation when spreading branch stores. 3.Accelerates to direct and assist the ones who don’t reach the standard of the barrier-free environmental improvement plan. This research reveals that constructing the barrier-free environment makes more physical barrier and mentally challenged citizens can pass in and out of the convenient stores more freely and with respect, which also makes the stores make more profit from it. Hoping this research could be the improvement reference of the non-barrier environment of convenient stores for the government, which helps to build the barrier-free environment, to promote the public security and create the friendly metropolis in Taiwan.
