PROBLEM OF ADJUSTMENT OF THE TERRITORY OF THE LVIV POLYTECHNIC NATIONAL UNIVERSITY TO THE NEEDS OF THE DISABLED

Abstract

The problem of accessibility for the disabled remains not only actual, but also acute, even painful for the whole society. Indicator of the adaptability of the environment for people with special needs is a litmus paper of compliance with European values and a civilized society choice of equal opportunities and real conformity to the ideas of humanism. Most people understand the need for measures to adapt the environment to the needs of the disabled. This is the most difficult part, but this accessibility problem is not limited. Comfortable conditions for the disabled should include ability for moving, staying, and learning. If you want to achieve it, you need to take a lot of steps of adaptability of physical environment. Also the communications in different aspects are important. This process of adaptation is complex and prolonged in time, so it is reasonable to divide it in time into three stages. The process of adaptation will include a large number of different activities of various complexity and price. They can be grouped into 3 major stages. These stages can be called "small reconstruction" (stage 1), "extended reconstruction" (stage 2), "complex reconstruction" (stage 3), The 1st stage will include various measures for redevelopment and arrangement of educational buildings without changing the vertical communications. After its implementation, the ground floors of educational buildings will be accessible, where the entry level is close to the ground level not more than 0,5 m. The 2nd stage will include various measures to create a barrier-free environment throughout the campus and student's campus. It will be installation of internal and external ramps and elevators first of all. This stage will be the most expensive and technically complicated, since some of the educational buildings were designed without lifts. The third phase will include a variety of facilities at the end of the adaptation of the learning environment for the needs of the impaired, most of which are osculant. Some of these will be measures to improve the physical environment, for example more efficient lighting and some develop virtual environment, such as new distant forms of learning. The campus of polytechnics consists of buildings with different functional-planning, spatial and artistic-aesthetic solutions, and require an individual approach to solve this problem. It should not be forgotten that the correspondence of the environment with one or another requirement, especially for people with special needs, fundamentally affects to reputation of "Lviv polytechnic" and place among other education institutions.
