DATA ANALYSIS

RESULTS

• After data analysis , we observed that 39% of people said that there are facilities for special abled and 61% people denied.

• From these percentages we concluded that majority of the people disagreed that there are facilities for special abled.

CONCLUSION

•People are not much aware and concerned towards special abled people •Lack of awareness even in the educated and literate society.•Even if people are concerned about them but they didn’t take any initiative in favour of them.•Not sufficient facilities are their for special abled people.•After observing the details of the survey we observed that our hypothesis is correct.

SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM:-Design consideration :-•Obstruction include street furniture , traffic signs , direction signs , street plants , bollards , are alligned in a straight line.•Obstruction in the pathway should be easy to detect.•Protruding elements should be avoided.•Fixed poles should have contrasting durable colours marking strips placed with the centre line at a height between 1.40m-1.60m,to warn pedestrians with limited vision.•Barriers should be identified by stripped colour marking and should lit at night.•The symbols is composed of a wheel chair figure with either a square background or a square border.•Info-rectangular , warning-Triangular , Interdictory-circular.

•At public telephone booths , one telephone should be accessible to a wheelchair user and another to a person with a hearing impairment.•Telephones for the hearing impairment should be equipped with hearing aid devices and amplifiers and the location of telecommunication devices should be indicated by signs.•Underground subways should be implement in the all railway stations.•The path of travel should be easy to detect for a sightless person by implemt proper guide lines.•Curbs should not be obstructed the free passage of physically disabled people ,mainly the wheelchair users.•Pedestrian crossings should be equipped with traffic control signals.•Low traffic crossings frequently used by special abled people can be controlled by a pedestrian push-button system , the push-buttons placed on the light poles.

g•Accessible parking provisions apply to both outdoor and underground facilities.•Accessible buildings , atleast one entrance per facility should be accessible to a wheelchair user.•For new buildings the accessible entrances should be the main entrance intended use by general public.•In accessible clothes shops , atleast one changing room should allow for a 360 turn of a wheelchair.•All teaching , administrative , library should be accessible to a wheel chair user.•A special room should be provided for sightless and hearing-impaired people who need assistance while reading.

FUTURE PLANS

•We have planned that we will take some steps at official level for the implementation of all the facilities for special abled people. •We will aware people time to time for this , and try to open a NGO for them.
