Abstract:

Many studies show the findings of public facilities' cases still inaccessible to people with disabilities and see the importance of a design, especially in the interior sector, that can produce a built environment that is user-friendly and barrier-free. Accessibility rights for persons with disabilities have been regulated in various regulations ranging from regulations in the central government to laws, government regulations to the minister of public works and regional regulations. There is a regulation of the minister of public works and public housing of the Republic of Indonesia No.14 201

Nine briefly examined examples of built heritage in this paper reveal various cases of collision of conservation principles with demands of barrier-free architecture. The importance of this issue has been raised in the light of increasing world-wide efforts to preserve cultural heritage buildings for future generations by revitalization and strong efforts, in particularly in the EU, to reach higher standards in inclusion of all social groups.

Thus, thorough mitigation strategies are needed to prevent such unfiltered release of the radioactive nuclides during SGTR accidents.
