Abstract

The
most important problem experinced by visually impaired individuals is
inadequacy of opportunities and inequality of opportunities with other people.
The yellow striped pavement was made to help distance-place-direction sense
while walking, to meet the needs of constant self-awareness to remove a
possible accident situation has a very important place for the visually
impaired. Our aim is to investigate the usability of yellow striped pavements
applied to the sides of the road by visually impaired people in Hatay. A total
of 25 visually impaired individuals, 8 women and 17 men, were included in the
study. A self-reported questionnaire was applied.

The
frequency of using yellow striped pavements was found, as using permanently 28
%, using partially 36%, using difficulty 4%, and never using 32%. Individuals
who were found that defined the yellow striped pavements as useful 48%, the
partially useful 20% and undecided as 32%. The sufficiency of yellow striped
pavements in Hatay was defined as 20% adequate, 52% undecided and 28%
insufficient. There was a significant difference between using the yellow
stripped pavements and helpfulness in walking independently in the street
(p<0.005).

The
fact that the majority of the subjects thought undecided insufficiency of the
yellow striped pavements and individuals participated study generally go out
with an assistant showed us these striped pavements are not enough.
Participants stated that the strips laid on the sidewalks were not felt with
the white cane and the strips were too wide and did not serve safe walking.







The
bad proper design of the pavements, the failure to obey the law, the
desensitization of the society constitutes a bigger obstacle for the people
with handicapped.

Hatay’da Bulunan Sarı Şeritli Kaldırımların Görme Engelliler Tarafından Kullanılabilirliği

Abstract

Görme engelli bir
kişinin yaşadığı en önemli sorun, gözlerinin görmemesi değil; kendisine
sağlanan olanakların yetersizliği ve diğer insanlarla arasındaki fırsat
eşitsizliğidir. Yürürken
mesafe-yer-yön duygusunu kontrol etme, sürekli
kendilerini fark ettirme ihtiyaçlarını gidermek ve olası bir kaza durumunu
ortadan kaldırmak için yapılan sarı şeritli kaldırımlar, görme engelliler için
oldukça önemli bir yere sahiptir. Görme engellilerin
sosyal yaşama tam olarak adaptasyonunu artırmak amacıyla yol kenarlarına uygulanan
sarı şeritli kaldırım hakkında düşüncelerini almak ve bu şeritlerin
kullanılabilirliğini araştırmak amacıyla çalışma planlanmıştır. Çalışma
8’i kadın ve 17’si erkek olmak üzere toplam 25 görme engelli birey ile
gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sarı çizgili kaldırımların kullanılabilirliği sorgulandığında
katılımcıların % 28’i sürekli,% 36 kısmi zorlukla  ,% 4’ü 
zorlanarak kullandığını,%36’sı 
ise hiç  kullanmadığını ifade etmiştir.
Sarı çizgili kaldırımları faydalı bulanlar % 48, kısmen faydalı bulanlar %20,
faydası konusunda kararsız olanların oranı %32 olarak hesaplanmıştır.  Hatay'da bulunan sarı çizgili kaldırımları
yeterli bulanlar % 20,  kararsız olanlar
% 52 ve yetersiz bulanlar  % 28'dir. Sarı
şeritli kaldırımların kullanılabilirliği ile sokakta bağımsız olarak yürümeye
yardımcı olma arasında istatiksel açıdan anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p <0.05).
Katılımcıların çoğunluğunun sarı çizgili kaldırımların yetersiz olduğunu
vurgulaması, genellikle yardımsız dışarı çıkamamaları kaldırımların yeterli
olmadığını göstermiştir. Kaldırımlardaki şeritlerin beyaz bastonla
hissedilememesi ve şeritlerin aralarının çok geniş olması nedeniyle
kaldırımların güvenli bir yürüyüşe hizmet etmedikleri saptanmıştır.
Kaldırımların kötü dizaynı, kaldırımlar ile ilgili kurallara uyulmaması, toplumun
duyarsızlaştırılması, engelli insanlar için daha büyük bir engel teşkil
etmektedir.
