INTRODUCTION
We are all physically disabled(1) at some time in our lives. A child, a person with a broken
leg, a parent with a pram, an elderly person, etc. are all disabled in one way or another. Those
who remain healthy and able-bodied all their lives are few. As far as the built-up environment
is concerned, it is important that it should be barrier-free and adapted to fulfill the needs of all
people equally. As a matter of fact, the needs of the disabled coincide with the needs of the
majority, and all people are at ease with them. As such, planning for the majority impliesAIM
The social aim of this study is to integrate disabled people into society in order for them to take
an active part in society and lead a normal life. To be active, a disabled person should be able to
commute between home, work and other destinations. The technical aim of the manual is to
provide a barrier-free environment for the independence, convenience and safety of all people
with disabilities.
TARGET GROUP
The target group is composed of five major categories:
(a) Wheelchair users
(b) People with limited walking abilities
(c) The sightless
(d) The partially sighted
(e) The hearing impaired
Other categories that may benefit to some extent from the proposed measures include the
mentally disabled, people susceptible to physical fits, people with extreme physical proportions,and people with functional disabilities of the arm or hand.
As for the composition and size of the target group, no dependable statistics currently exist to
define the extent of disability in Lebanese society. However, taking into consideration the
duration of the war, one can deduce that the disabled form a significant percentage of the
population. A good database on disability in Lebanon is essential for any future development in
this field.

Notes:
(1) It should be noted that a handicap is not a synonym for disability. A disability refers to a
physical, sensory or mental limitation that interferes with a person's ability to move, see, hear or
learn; a handicap refers to a condition or barrier imposed by the environment, society or oneself.
As such, physical obstructions of the built-up environment constitute a handicap to a disabled
person. For example, a stairway is a handicap to a wheelchair user. On the other hand, feeling
different and inferior to other people constitutes a handicap imposed by oneself
