Adaptation of Accessibility for People with Disabilities in Private and Public Buildings using Appropriate Design Checklist

Abstract

An integrated approach is required to ensure that persons with disabilities are not left alone. A combination of mainstreaming and targeted measures is necessary in all interventions. Persons with disabilities share the same primary needs as everyone else: health protection and treatment, basic services, shelter and income. The best way to address their inclusion is through mainstreaming disability in all plans and efforts. Targeted measures need to complement disability mainstreaming by addressing specific requirements that cannot be met by making general responses inclusive. Such measures do not need to add greatly to overall cost especially if the needs of the maximum number of users are considered in the initial design. As mentioned in the world bank publication 2005 that if they are considered from the design stage, ensuring accessibility can cost as little as 1% more. This paper is came to recommendation how can we consider appropriate design checklist as guide for our initial Architecture design to Facilities accessible to people with disabilities for private and public buildings in a more descent appropriate way
