碩士 === 逢甲大學 === 建築學系 === 103 === "OK affect" In Malaysia the past ten years by the local social media storm, in fact, refers to the social needs of an unimpeded friendly and easy accessible space refers to "accessibility." This is not just a domestic problem more is an international should work together for the handicapped or mobility problems who fight for equal rights. Braille system accessible elevator system to assist the visually impaired at the time of room to move, and act as an important orientation of the secondary boot facility.
