Ensuring Unlimited Access to Disabled People to Residential and Socially Important Objects of the City under the Conditions of Significant Normative and Planning Limitations
Abstract: The article is devoted to the problem of ensuring of unimpeded access for disabled people to residential and socially significant objects of the city in conditions of significant regulatory and planning restrictions. Attention is focused on the relevance and special social significance of accelerated solutions to issues related to creating the necessary amenities for living and serving single who have severe disabilities in the musculoskeletal system and are forced to move around on wheelchairs. The authors consider examples of spontaneous design and construction of «non-normative» ramps that adjoin the balconies and window openings of the premises of the first floors of multi-storey residential and public buildings constructed according to standard designs of the 50–80s of the 20th century. The ramps of various planning and design solutions are analyzed for the convenience and safety of operation, speed and labor-consuming installation, and also the degree of versatility. One of the examples is the experimental design developed by the authors of the device for a single-march «non-normative» ramp made of light metal structures. The proposed design solution of the «non-normative» ramp is differed by the convenience and safety of exploitation, the relative degree of universality of its practical use. Based on the results of the performed studies and experimental design, a conclusion is made about the legitimacy and expediency of overcoming some of the regulatory and planning restrictions with a view to maximally accelerating the provision of assistance to physically weakened and infirm people who are forced to move around on wheelchairs.
Keywords: persons with severe disorders in the musculoskeletal system, difficulties in moving and social services, insuperable areas of ascent and descent, normative and planning restrictions, version of the ramp device, lightweight metal structures and elements, ensuring of unimpeded access, convenience and safety of exploitation universality of practical use.
