Journal Title: Urban Strategic Thought - Year 2022, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Inclusive design is a design process in which a product, service, or environment is designed to be usable for as many people as possible, particularly groups who are traditionally excluded from being able to use an interface or navigate an environment. In many cities of Iran, despite the existence of a wide range of disabled people, there is less attention about adapting passages and facilitating the entry of public spaces and buildings for disabled people. Therefore, the main goal of this study is to experimentally explain factors and adaptation of accessibility for people with disabilities in private/public buildings and passages in Ordibehesht street area of Shiraz city in Iran. The method of this research is based on a descriptive-analytical approach, the data collection was collected through interview and observation analysis technique, and then, the information analysis was performed through SWOT matrix and strategic planning matrix. The results show the necessary to redesign parts of the cross sections of this street, especially in the gathering place of medical centers due to the lack of facilities and suitable furniture for sick and disabled people. It is also necessary to apply all features of inclusive design and differentiation of the sidewalk from the street; locating and constructing pause and rest spaces for sick and disabled people. The premier strategy is a competitive strategy (WO strategy: helping and guiding people with disabilities). The suggested action plans of this strategy are the use of touch indicators and color changing edges in the street to improve the navigation of disabled people.
