The study analyzes the current status of design elements for visually and physically impaired individuals and assesses the compliance of these spaces with accessibility standards. The findings indicate that most of the spaces lack critical adjustments such as tactile surfaces for visually impaired individuals and basic accessibility elements like ramps and restrooms for disabled individuals. This study highlights the importance of implementing universal design principles and emphasizes that interior architectural projects should be included in municipal permit processes. Designs need to be human-centered and inclusive to support full participation of disabled individuals in society. Ensuring accessibility in the physical environment will not only improve individuals’ quality of life but also play a critical role in social awareness and social integration.}, number={1}
