Survey & Quantitative Design Strategies on Hospital Accessible Signs

Abstract:

Hospital accessible signs are important guide for the elderly, disabled or ordinary people. According to the theories of environmental behavior and sign-system universal design, the types of accessible signs and demand features of all sorts of disable people are analyzed, and the necessity of quantitative design for hospital accessible signs is put forward. With investigation and research on accessible signs of 25 major hospitals in Tianjin city, the existing design problems were found out with the method of comprehensive comparison between subjective perception with instances and standard literatures, thus the quantitative design recommendations on each design element of hospital accessible signs are summarized and obtained, including scale, mounting height, graphics, color, fonts and so on, to provide rational science indicator reference to accessible signs design and the construction of accessible environment.
