TY - JOUR T1 - ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENT: CONTRIBUTION OF DESIGN IN THE FIELD OF CLOTHING TT - GÖRME ENGELLİ BİREYLER İÇİN YARDIMCI TEKNOLOJİLER: GİYİM ALANINDA TASARIMIN KATKISI AU - Süller Zor, Başak AU - Vuruşkan, Arzu PY - 2019 DA - December Y2 - 2019 DO - 10.21923/jesd.482180 JF - Mühendislik Bilimleri ve Tasarım Dergisi JO - MBTD PB - Süleyman Demirel University WT - DergiPark SN - 1308-6693 SP - 913 EP - 925 VL - 7 IS - 4 LA - en AB - According to data of World Health Organization, it was estimated that 253million were visually impaired worldwidein 2017 (WHO, 2017). For those with moderate to totalblindness and visual impairment, daily activities such as mobility,communication, education, clothing and shopping cannot be carried outindependently. Assistive technologies (AT) offer solutions to contribute to thequality of life of those with visual impairments. Considering the dailyobstacles faced by such individuals, as a prior step fordesign development of alternative ATs, this paper includes an overview of ATs. Sincethis overview addresses a lack of applications in clothing related AT, thefollowing survey aims to acquire feedback from people with visual impairment,focusing on clothing related issues, with the aim of making improvements in design. KW - Assistive Technology KW - Visual Impairment KW - Design KW - Clothing KW - Wearable Technology N2 - Dünya Sağlık Örgütü verilerine göre, 2017 yılında 253 milyon insanıngörme engeli olduğu öngörülmektedir (WHO, 2017). Orta dereceden toplam körlüğeve görme engeline sahip olanlar için, hareketlilik, iletişim, eğitim, giyim vealışveriş gibi günlük faaliyetler, bağımsız olarak gerçekleştirilemeyecek kadarzor olabilmektedir. Yardımcı teknolojiler görme engeli olan kişilerin yaşamkalitesine katkıda bulunacak çözümler sunmaktadır. Alternatif yardımcıteknolojilerin tasarımı ve geliştirilmesi için bir ön adım olarak elealındığında, bu çalışma, görme engelli bireylerinkarşılaştığı günlük engelleri göz önünde bulundurarak, yardımcı teknolojileringenel bir incelemesini içermektedir. Bu genel incelemede, giyim alanı ileilgili yardımcı teknolojilerin eksikliği dikkat çekmiştir. Bu sebepleçalışmanın devamında yapılan anket çalışması da görme engelli bireylerden, tasarımınkatkısı ile gelişme sağlanabilecek ve giyim alanına odaklanan geri bildirimleralmayı amaçlamaktadır.
