GUIDELINES ON ACCESS FOR DISABLED PERSONS

TO PUBLIC BUILDINGS

mailto:[email protected]


INTERPRETATION

Disabled persons refer to people with a physical, hearing or sight impairment or any combination thereof, which affects their mobility outside building or their use of buildings and related amenities

Malaysian Standard


INTRODUCTION

At the beginning of the 20 century, the average human lifespan was onlyabout 47 years. People are now living longer today. The average lifespanhas increased to about 76, largely due to healthier living, and better medicine.

In addition, more people are now living with disability, as medical advanceshave also enabled people to survive illness and accidents, which werepreviously fatal.


INTRODUCTION (Contd...)

These demographic changes resulted in a population that is older and more disabled than many realize and these trends continue. Both globally as well as in Malaysia.

For example, Hong Kong in 2006 will have over one-third of its population over 60 years of age. In Japan, a quarter of its population will be 65 and over in 2015. Singapore by the year 2030 is expected to have one-fifth of its population over 65 years of age.


BARIER FREE GUIDELINES

In the past, community attitudes and physical barriers in the built environment may have prevented people with disabilities from fully participating in society.

The MS 1184:1991 Code of Practice on Access for Disabled People to Public Buildings was first introduced in Malaysia in 1991, followed by MS1331:1993 Code of Practice on Access for Disabled People Outside Buildings in 1993. It was then written primarily with the needs of wheelchair users in mind, and was followed with its second edition of the revised Code in 2002 and 2003 respectively.


BARIER FREE GUIDELINES (Contd.)

Since that time, accessibility for wheelchair users has now become a standard feature in most of our new buildings. With this, it has also become more and more common to see wheelchair users moving about freely on their own, or with friends and families.

As we all know, even if a person is unable to walk or if a person is without sight, or without hearing, the person’s other facilities continue to function. The person will continue to possess, his or her mind and intellect, imaginations as well as aspirations.


The “barrier-free” design guidelines will help considerably towards greater independence of not only wheelchair users, but also hopefully, the elderly, the visually or hearing impaired, children, and indeed a broad spectrum of the community.
