| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 建築學系碩博士班 === 98 === Discussion on “barrier-free environment” has been started since late 50’s. The core concept is making the way of living of the disabilities has no different with the healthy people. Such concept has been promoted to those prosperous countries. A number of “barrier-free environment” related regulations or scheme have been proposed as well.
The “barrier free campus” is one of the important schemes. It has become the new trend of the special education development. The disabilities should find no obstacle in their campus life. They suppose to be able to study as usual as other healthy students. Unfortunately, as the scheme goes onward, several issues have been found which do not cope with the real situation.
Therefore, this study will investigate the "universal design" which is required to serve both disabilities and health people who come from diversified background, class, gender, age and ethnicity. The ideal campus will be those comprehensive universities such as the National Cheng Kung University campus. The artificial environment, such as 1. the external environment on campus planning; facilities (equipment), i.e. 2. Campus-housing facilities will be considered as main and crucial factors to be investigated and discussed.
From the literature, interviews and on site investigation, we can characterize the campus into "teaching place", "research learning place", "executive office place ", "public place " and "active place " and 13 public places require “general facilities” and 4 non-public places require “special equipments”. According to the survey data, factors of obstacles include: entrance ramp with handrails, door and window equipment, outdoor plaza, indoor and outdoor access, sanitary facilities, and guide signs , water facilities, stairwells, lift facilities, information services, equipment, parking spaces, electrical outlets and switches, teaching facilities and equipment, learning facilities and equipment, office facilities and equipment, electronic facilities and equipment.
Universal design principle is based on university campuses to promote barrier-free environment to achieve objectives, this study has concluded that although the concept of universal design can make up for the lack of consideration of barrier-free design part, but faces a number of design objects, the user characteristic differences, as well as the scope of campus planning and design factors such as diverse and complex systems, when to the implementation of a comprehensive application is indeed difficult, so the campus environment, both from the architectural space and facilities and equipment, making overall considerations and classification, and by this study to follow the seven principles of universal design, to deduce a " the list of items of universal design of campus facilities" in the content of design projects and further strengthen the design content and enhance the usefulness of the campus, then the campus needs to follow-up through software services, and communication platform for cooperation in order to achieve truly universal accessibility and university campuses.
Key words：Universal Design; Universal Campus; barrier-free environment; interviews
