ENGELLİ BİREYLER İÇİN MUTFAK TASARIMI

Bu çalışmada, engelli bireyler için mutfakların taşıması gereken kullanım özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda engelli bireyler tarafından kullanılan mutfaklardaki dolaplar ve diğer ekipmanlara erişim özellikleri incelenmiştir. Çalışma, günümüz mutfak planlamasının incelenmesine dayanmaktadır. Mevcut tasarımlarda engelli bireylerin kullanımlarını kısıtlayan tasarım özelliklerini belirlemek amacıyla 30 engelli bireyle yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi kullanılarak anketler uygulanmış ve mevcut mutfaklarının fiziksel koşulları değerlendirilmiştir. Katılımcıların 17'si Kırıkkale'de, 13'ü Ankara'da ikamet etmektedir. Elde edilen veriler, Türkiye'de erişilebilir mutfakların oldukça az olduğunu ve var olan mutfakların da genellikle zayıf tasarlandığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu eksiklik, engellilerin günlük mekansal davranışlarını ciddi derecede sınırlandırmaktadır. Bu araştırma, mutfaklar için özel tasarımların engelli insanlar için son derece önemli olduğunu göstermektedir.

SPATIAL KITCHEN DESIGN FOR DISABLED PEOPLE

In this study, it is aimed to determine the usage characteristics of kitchens for people with disabled. In this respect, accessibility features of that kitchen cabinets and other equipment used by disabled individuals has been examined. The study is based on an examination of present day kitchen planning. Surveys were conducted using face-to-face interviews with 30 disabled individuals to determine the design features that limit the use of disabled individuals in current designs and the physical conditions of existing kitchens were assessed. 17 of the participants reside in Kırıkkale and 13 of them in Ankara. Resulting data’s reveal that in Turkey, accessible kitchens are few and far between and those that do exist have been often poorly designed. This lack of provision severely delimits the daily spatial behavior of people with disabilities. This research shows that special designs for kitchens are highly important for people with disabilities.
