Requirements and Solution of Barrier-Free Measures upon Architectonic – Construction Solution of Kitchen and Bathroom in a Flat of Special Determination

Abstract:

Healthy person does not often realize its certainty when he moves around in the flat and makes activities related to running of the household. Persons on wheelchairs, moving with crooks or walking stick, or otherwise handicapped, are in more difficult situation. Therefore barrier-free environment in flats defined for persons with limited ability of movement and orientation is very important. This group of people faces the biggest problem with barrier-free transfer when working in the kitchen, as well as when moving around in the bathroom or WC. In order to better understand the wheelchair person we have to take into consideration how this person moves around in the kitchen, how he gets from and on the wheelchair in the bathroom and WC. He movers either alone or with his assistant, therefore the project engineer shall also consider the handling space for another person when designing the size of floor area. Persons with handicap must deal with safe movement around their flat on everyday basis.
