ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The current state of requirements for specific forms of barrier-free housing leads us to consider how to provide quality and satisfactory housing that will be adaptable and versatile. What are the target users’ real demands for space, equipment, technical solutions and other things? The answers can be found directly with the users. In cooperation with organizations of disabled persons, a questionnaire has been prepared, which contains all the relevant questions that can affect the quality of good and satisfactory barrier-free housing in a positive way. The task of the investigation is to find out the practical experience with the existing housing and the needs of potential users of barrier-free housing. The article aims to compare the current technical conditions of barrier-free flats as provided by legislation with the results of the research focused on the needs of the target groups of people with physical limitations, their practical knowledge and experience.
