مرکز منطقه ای اطلاع رساني علوم و فناوري - A Sample Study Area for the Costs of Public Institutions of Arrangements Intended of Disabled People; Erciyes University

Abstract :

Studies targeting disabled people, elderly people and children with limited movement ability gain importance for spatial designs intended to these groups. Architectural analyses that can enable disabled people to overcome physical difficulties are especially important. Even though various laws and regulations have went into effect for this issue, different problems can arise during the design and building stages of architectural analyses. In addition, required applications are always late since it is believed that analyses intended for disabled people will be costly. It is thought that universities should provide examples for their city with their social as well as physical attributes since they represent the highest level of education. The objective of this study is to carry out a comparison between the current physical attributes of universities and the attributes specified in the laws and regulations and to carry out a cost calculation. Erciyes University Main Campus has been determined as the sample area for the study. All buildings and additional structures of the different faculties, academies, vocational high schools and their additional buildings have been examined in the study. The examination that started with the determination of the suitability and/or inappropriateness of the physical arrangements intended for disabled individuals continued by determining what the costs of these arrangements will be. Since it was thought that the scope of the study would be too wide, the study that initially focused on disabled individuals later focused only on the visually impaired and the walking disabled individuals. Costs for the approaches to the structures in the campus and as well as the correct applications for the entry spaces have been calculated. It is hoped that this study will contribute to determining the costs for the arrangements that are made and that will be made for disabled individuals.
