Abstract:

It is essential that all designers with responsibility for the human-machine interface have access to information on the anthropometry and capabilities of the whole population of people who may wish to interact with the design in question. Current databases used by designers typically present only very limited information concerning people who are older and/or disabled. Furthermore, tables of data are known to be largely ineffective and designers prefer to see visualisations of design data. In order to establish the current situation regarding design in relation to the needs of older and disabled people, existing products, procedures and systems were investigated. The objective was to identify current practice and the needs of designers whilst attempting to ‘design for all’. This paper will report on the findings from these interviews to date, which will ultimately lead to a requirements specification to aid design for the needs of older and disabled people.

Abstract:

In an effort to develop human factors guidelines for designing consumer products for the disabled a series of interviews and surveys were conducted in the homes of noninstitutionalized disabled people. The study covered a variety of disabilities, and where possible, individuals with several different levels of a given disability were included. A detailed set of recommendations of specific controls for use on products to be used by disabled people was found to be impractical because interfaces which are desirable to one disabled person are often a bad choice for another. The greatest problem for most disabled consumers is the variety of controls often found on a product. If one key control is inoperable by a person, the product may be unusable for that person. A preferred method for designing for the disabled is to use less variety in the selection of controls on each product. By reducing the within product variability along certain key design dimensions an individual capable of using some of the controls is more likely to be able to use them all.

Abstract:

Inclusive design approaches aim to create products that are suitable for the non-disabled and disabled alike. Traditionally, such approaches have concentrated on creating products which, whilst fitting with the special cognitive and/or physical needs of the disabled, have also brought benefits to the non-disabled. Examples of such products include the ballpoint pen and the TV remote control. Whilst those two are excellent examples of inclusive design, it will be argued in this paper that inclusive approaches which concentrate on only the cognitive and physical aspects of disability are limited. A new paradigm for inclusive design is proposed. This paradigm is based on looking at people holistically — taking into account people's lifestyles and values. A framework for considering such issues — the four pleasures — is described. It is argued that many ‘inclusive’ designs fail through failing to reflect the diverse values and lifestyles of the disabled. Examples are given, demonstrating how holistic approaches to inclusive design can right such failures.

Abstract:

This article aims to revisit and to adapt the Norman's theory of action by focusing on the design of interactive systems for disabled people. The background section demonstrates that there is a need to include all the stakeholders involved in the environment of the disabled person in the design process, constituting his or her ecosystem. Then the adaptation of the Norman's theory action, considering explicitly the ecosystem is justified; examples of the both role of the disabled people and members of his/her ecosystem are given for the seven components of Norman's model. Two cases studies are after presented to illustrate the crucial role of the ecosystem in case of assistive interactive system design. The benefits of taking into account the ecosystem in the design of interactive systems for disabled persons are discussed. The article ends with a conclusion and research perspectives.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to present analyses carried out in higher education buildings in terms of accessibility for people with physical disabilities. The essence of the research is to find solutions that improve both the physical and mental condition of people with reduced mobility. Methodology of this paper was introduced on two levels. First was analysis of literature and design solutions, that have a direct impact on the movement of disabled students and employees around educational institutions. Second was preparation of sketches and diagrams presenting the research results (graphical method). The above research and analyses extend the study field on the concept of movement of people with physical disabilities to issues of educational facilities and present a series of design guidelines, that can be proposed in this type of space. People with physical disabilities are very often excluded from academic life due to insufficient adaptation of facilities to their needs and capabilities. well organized space ensures physical safety, protecting the user from injuries, while the design of the aesthetics of the interior space can contribute to the improvement of mental health.

Abstract:

The living areas and fulfilling all the requirements of these areas’ users are very important for designers. Space design for the old and disabled users in the scope of privileged individuals is important from this point. The situation of the privileged individual mass fulfilling their basic needs like shelter, education, working and entertainment in a physically and psychologically unlimited way unlike to the other individuals is exposed as the most important design problem. Designers must pay attention to the user desires and requirements while they design spaces. However, the desires and requirements of the changing/changed body structures of old and disabled people happen to be different from the people without any handicaps in their bodies. In this scope the stereotyped “average dimensions” used in designs are not valid in the spaces with specialized users. In other words, the arrangements without changing their living environments or using the privileged human typologies as design inputs in rebuilt spaces make it possible for old and disabled people to live without detaching from life. The basic target wanted here is with the aim of continuing a life without detaching from their families. The universal design handled in this scope developed a suggestion aiming to expose the ability to continue an equal life with all living creations. In the study the outer and inner space qualities of Konya Selcuk University Elderly and Disabled Education, Care Application and Research Center (EDCRC) project will be exemplified from the point of spatial requirements of privileged individuals.

Abstract:

Community Care reforms have revived interest in service quality. It is argued that the definition of service quality is value-led and that domi nant ideologies have contributed to the continued oppression of disabled people. The design of quality assurance systems is considered and it is suggested that organisations controlled by disabled people have a central role to play in providing disablement services. Two conclusions are drawn. First, service quality cannot on its own be a sufficient condition for disabled people's emancipation. Second, 'quality' has been used as a policy substitute for the necessary con dition of 'equality'.

Abstract:

The aging trend of the world population has increased the number of elderly people. Older people prefer to spend most of their time at home. The problem is that today's homes are often unsuitable for the elderly and the disabled. Thus, problems of the current design approaches, which are based on percentiles as well as the tendency to involve the elderly and disabled people in society, have put the concept of inclusive design into consideration. Application of new design approaches, such as inclusive design allows designers to design products and services to meet the needs of a larger group of users regardless of their age and ability. Given the rapid aging of the world population, more research is needed to design specific products and environments for elderly people. Keywords: Home design, Aging, Ergonomics, Adaptation

Abstract:

Cooking themselves is very important and difficult for elderly and disabled people in daily life. This paper presents a cooking robot for those people who are confined to wheelchairs. The robot can automatically load ingredients, cook Chinese dishes, take cooked foods out, deliver dishes to the table, self-clean, collect used ingredient box components, and so on. Its structure and interface is designed based on the barrier-free design principles. Elderly and disabled people can only click one button in the friendly Graphic User Interface of a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) to launch the cooking processes, and several classic Chinese dishes would be placed in front of them one after another within few minutes. Experiments show that the robot can meet their special needs, and the involved aid activities are easy and effective for elderly and disabled people.

Abstract:

Disability is a person with disabilities who has physical, mental, intellectual, sensory, and some motor disorders. Disabilities that have motor impairments are blind, mentally retarded, and disabled so they need an automatic wall-mounted toothbrush in cleaning teeth and mouth. A wall-mounted toothbrush is an innovative tool for blind, mentally disabled, and disabled people to be able to brush their teeth independently. The aim is to determine the effectiveness of automatic wall-mounted toothbrushes in children with disabilities, especially in the visually impaired, mentally retarded, and disabled. The study was conducted by pre-experimental method (One Group Pretest-Posttest Design) in SLB disabled people in Jember with 56 people, 17 people with visual impairment, 36 mental retardations, and 3 disabled people. The results of the study carried out a paired sample t-test showed a significance value (p <0.05) in the blind and mentally retarded while the significance value (p> 0.05) in the disabled. The conclusion of the study is that this tool is effective in the blind and mentally retarded but is less effective in the disabled.

Abstract:

A disabled person in a company is affected by a number of various environmental conditions. Among these the most important are such as organizational, technical, social, economic and, finally, legal working conditions. The standard and quality of the just mentioned conditions determine significantly the way in which a disabled person performs the assigned tasks and duties in the company and it also helps to create the individual sense of self-fulfillment and work satisfaction. What is more, at the same time the level of environmental conditions influences directly work efficiency and profits of the company. It must be clearly stated that working conditions do not appear immediately and spontaneously - they need careful planning and modern organization. This research paper presents the environmental conditions and discusses a model design of the work organization for the disabled people.

Abstract:

Kitchen design is an increasingly important and crucial facet of the overall field of residential design. But the survey found that disabled people face many problems trying to use a conventional kitchen. An accessible or modified home can help prevent accidents and also allow people to remain in their homes longer by accommodating future lifestyle changes instead of prematurely forcing people into nursing home care. Designing an accessible kitchen workstation may be an ideal method to fit disability’s needs.

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:

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to introduce the special issue on “Disadvantaged workers in the labour market” and to draw some policy implications that are common to the studies included in the special issue.Design/methodology/approachThe paper introduces several econometric methodologies adopted in the special issue. Such methodologies represent an excellent overview of the typical approaches developed by applied economists to address the issue under discussion. They include: dynamic probit models allowing for unobserved heterogeneity and endogenous initial conditions; propensity score matching; the non parametric Ñopo decomposition to take into account sample selection bias; endogenous switching models to estimate employment choice; and fixed effects models and Arellano and Bond dynamic panel estimator.FindingsThe articles in the special issue highlight several common factors that make the disadvantage at the labor market emerge. The first factor is the recent financial crisis which especially affects young people. Differences in common support – generally due to segregation in low pay jobs – are also important. Several factors favor persistence of the disadvantage, namely the inefficiency of the educational system and the lack of financial support to the weakest groups.Practical implicationsThe paper adopts the EU definition of “disadvantaged workers”, namely workers who find it hard to enter the labor market without assistance. The authors show the relevance of the analysis produced in this special issue to design specific policies fine‐tuned to the needs of disadvantaged workers. In addition, institutional reforms, and/or interventions on structural variables are also in order.Originality/valueThe paper introduces a number of articles proposing innovations in the interpretation and application of a wide range of theoretical approaches and econometric methodologies.

Abstract:

Abstract This research presented a novel method using 3D simulation methods to design customized garments for physically disabled people with scoliosis (PDPS). The proposed method is based on the virtual human model created from 3D scanning, permitting to simulate the consumer’s morphological shape with atypical physical deformations. Next, customized 2D and 3D virtual garment prototyping tools will be used to create products through interactions. The proposed 3D garment design method is based on the concept of knowledge-based design, using the design knowledge and process already applied to normal body shapes successfully. The characters of the PDPS and the relationship between human body and garment are considered in the prototyping process. As a visualized collaborative design process, the communication between designer and consumer is ensured, permitting to adapt the finished product to disabled people afflicted with severe scoliosis.

Abstract:

This study aims to assess the level of preparedness of visually disabled people in terms of the emergency response plan for earthquake and tsunami. This study uses analytical methods, cross-sectional design, and questionnaires as data collection tools. The sample of this study was 54 visually disabled people who were living in Banda Aceh. The analysis revealed that the level of preparedness of the emergency response plan, the majority of visually disabled people has a low level of preparedness to plan an emergency response (63%), especially the total blindness group (46.3%). The Mann-Whitney test results showed that there was a statistically significant relationship between the visual impairment group and total blindness group on the preparedness of the emergency response plan (p = 0.016). Hence, this study suggests some recommendations, including a disaster preparedness program that is sensitive to people with disabilities, increasing the participation of people with disabilities in DRR education, and increasing the accessibility of people with disabilities to DRR teaching/learning materials.

Abstract:

One of the challenges in response to population aging is to meet needs for elderly care among older people especially for those who want to age in their homes or communities. However, disabled older people have more challenges due to their restricted mobility to access care resources than non-disabled ones. We propose a new framework based on the changing relationship between older people and their environment, in which resource linkage in elderly care utilization is emphasized. We conducted a survey with 139 participants (i.e., older people age 60 years or over with different level of disabilities) in three types of neighborhoods in Beijing, China. By conducting a decision tree analysis under the Person-Environment Link (P-E Link) model, we (1) characterized unmet needs for elderly care (activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) assistance) among community-dwelling disabled older people; (2) found disabled older people had more unmet needs for both ADL and IADL assistance because of a lack in linkages to care resources than non-disabled ones; and (3) characterized the linkages to care resources for better supporting disabled older people to age in place, including family support, social connection, and spatial environment. Our findings help improve the Anderson behavioral model by characterizing enabling environments, which highlights that not only the availability of enabling resources but also linkages to these enabling resources play an important role in meeting needs for care among disabled older people. Our findings can also inform improvements in policy design that are targeted to reduce elderly care inequalities.

Abstract:

<span>As a key national target, Malaysia has been trying to become a sustainable and developed country by 2020. In this way, social sustainability, one of the three pillars of sustainable development involves participation of all people and communities as well as their enjoyment of equal human rights. Based on World Health Organization (WHO), one billion disabled people with impairments live in the world. However, the social model of disability proposes that much more people are disabled due to environmental barriers. In this regard, the universal design concept has been implemented as a notion through which built environment is required to service all people with different range of abilities. Mosque buildings are the main religious spot for Muslim people and their most important community center that play a significant role in their daily lives. Accordingly, application of universal design in this built environment is crucial to cater wider range of users. Reviewing the relevant literatures, this article proposes the significance of the application of universal design as an exigency in mosque design process.</span>

Abstract:

This paper provides a speculative, conceptual and literature-based review of the relationship between disability and new technologies with a specific focus on inclusive education for disabled people. The first section critically explores disability and new technologies in a time of Industry 4.0. We lay out some concerns that we have, especially in relation to disabled people’s peripheral positionality, when it comes to these new developments. The second section focuses on the area of inclusive education. Inclusion and education are oftentimes in conflict with one another. We tease out these conflicts and argue that we cannot decouple the promise of new technologies from the challenges of inclusive education, because, in spite of the potential for technological mediation to broaden access to education, there remains deep-rooted problems with exclusion. The third section of our paper explores affirmative possibilities in relation to the interactions between disability and new technologies. We draw on the theoretical fields of Science and Technology Studies; Critical Disability Studies; Assistive and Inclusive Technologies; Collaborative Robotics, Maker and DIY Cultures and identify a number of key considerations that relate directly to the revaluing of inclusive education. We conclude our paper by identifying what we view as pressing and immediate concerns for inclusive educators when considering the merging of disability and technology, accessibility and learning design.

Abstract:

Purpose In the UK, the Children and Families Act aims to create one assessment process for children with special educational needs or disability, through Education, Health and Care Plans. It also aims for greater participation from children and young people in decisions about their own lives. Current evidence suggests that children’s needs and desires across education, health and social care are not being fully met, partly because adult agendas drive policy, practice and standards of care. Furthermore, little attention is paid to the way in which disabled children and young people are included either within decisions about their own support or within research processes. The purpose of this paper is to present a research process designed to address these issues. Design/methodology/approach Six disabled young people co-led this participatory research project; for the first time, disabled young people had the opportunity to define a research agenda which spoke to what “quality” might look like in planning for their own future and that of other disabled children and young people. Findings This paper presents findings from this process, addressing important ethical issues relevant for policy, practice and research, identified through this rights based, collaborative way of working in partnership. Three key issues were identified and are explored here. They include first, tensions between young people becoming leaders and dominant ideas about safeguarding and child protection; second, being empowered through engagement within the project yet restricted in other areas of personal life and, finally, the emotional impact on new researchers of gathering evidence of a continuing lack of autonomy for disabled children and young people. We argue that challenging dominant notions concerning the participation and protection of disabled children is required in order to ensure that they access their right to be decision-makers in their own lives, and to being empowered within research processes. Originality/value This is the first disabled young people-led study to investigate quality and rights for disabled children and young people using this rights-based methodology.

Abstract:

Disabled Persons are one who has either legs or hands and it is duty of every individual to safeguard them. Government is helping through various schemes by supplying wheel chair etc. there is need for sophisticated vehicle for them to work in the factory by moving inside the factory premises, moving inside the house premises and office premises. The primary objective of this project is to develop a vehicle for Disabled Persons especially for people without legs. Hence extensive research was carried out to come out with this idea and its methodology by Voice of Customer and Quality Functional Deployment (QFD) analysis. Here handle bar is used with accelerator and brake incorporated. The Permanent Magnet Direct Circuit (PMDC) Motor is used in the brake drum driven by battery / solar current since this is a vehicle primarily designed for Disabled Persons, the vehicle is designed considering their disability in mind and much importance is given regarding the safety of the passenger after. Hence driver ergonomics plays a key role in the designing of vehicle for legless persons. Handle bar designed to suit both manual steering and electric steering.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a new collaborative design-based method for designing customized garments, aimed at the physically disabled people with scoliosis. Design/methodology/approach The proposed method is based on the virtual human model created using a 3D body scanner, permitting to simulate the consumer’s morphological shape with atypical physical deformations. Next, customized 2D and 3D virtual garment prototyping tools will be used to create products through interactions between the consumer, designer and pattern maker. The general principle of the proposed design method is based on the following sequence: design-display-evaluation-adjustment. After running the sequence for a number of times, the final design solution, which will be approved by both the designer and consumer, can be easily identified. Findings Design knowledge, which is already applied to normal body shapes successfully can be applied to 3D garment design using the concept which is based on collaborative design. Through this process, the classical 2D garment design knowledge, especially 2D patterns and design rules, can be modified and applied according to a normalized virtual garment sensory evaluation procedure quantitatively. This evaluation procedure, interactively performed by the designer and consumer, can permit to adapt the finished product to disabled people afflicted with severe scoliosis. The proposed method is also validated to be more advanced compared to 2D-to-3D virtual CAD design method, especially for atypical morphologies. Originality/value As a co-design method, 3D virtual draping and sensory evaluation can fully satisfy the interaction between the garment design technical space and perceptual space of the finished garments ensuring desired 3D garment fit effect by adjustment of technical parameters. 3D scanning technology is used to generate a complete digitalized 3D human model, permitting to extract the main features of body shapes without accurate measurements. As a knowledge-based design process, both the fashion design knowledge and the pattern making knowledge will be extracted to provide inspirations and references. Successful design solutions will be incorporated into the fashion design knowledge base in order to generate new design rules and enhance professional design knowledge.

Abstract:

This essay will discuss graphic design approaches for the visually impaired people. It focuses on several graphic design fields such as typography, images, printing, reading and writing, info graphic in different parts of life, packaging and web design and how they meet with the visually impaired people’s needs. Many useful things were invented and are helping the visually impaired people in their daily life but I see there are still significant problems and issues that need solutions. The graphic designers are those who can do much more to help these people to be part of the society more than before and to make their life easier. The approaches include suggestions to the simple changes as well as more difficult ones being open to more discussions and further research by the scientists and specialists. The thought behind this essay is to improve the life of the visually impaired people through graphic design, which is a powerful tool. The graphic designer’s aim should not be to only produce visually nice work but to think of how the environment can be changed to make everybody feel comfortable in it, whether it is done through small changes or revolutionary ideas. It is important to take the needs of disabled, and this essay focuses on the visually impaired people around us that need to be brought into consideration. I have tested myself how it feels to be ‘blind’ for some time during my research, and it helped me to clearly understand more about the whole subject. Based on my research I came up with a several ideas and helpful suggestions and solutions. Some of them might be time consuming at the beginning but when implemented I believe they could save a lot of time and mainly help the visually impaired people to enjoy their life and be an equal part of our society.
