Examination of accessibility for disabled people at metro stations
According to World Health Organization (WHO), 10% of the population in developed countries and 12% of the population in developing countries are disabled people. And also researches by TUİK, in 2003, 12% of the population in our country are disabled. The problems that are faced in daily life, do not only affect disabled people but also their family. Therefore, it is said to be that half of our population have a disabled life According to Scherrer, “Anyone, who has handicaps, is not a disabledperson in an accessible place. But healthy person will become disabledin a place without accessibility.” (Scherrer 2001). Accessibility can beprovided through the continuity of interrelated daily activities withoutany interruption. When the connection between the activities breaksoff, we cannot mention about accessibility.
