RAMPS THAT FORGETS THE DISABLED PEOPLE

During the process of working, for the disabled people, essential precaution and appropriate arrangement are not considered in details by the authorities. The most important reason is that there has not been enough implementation fort his situation before. According to the Law of Disabled People existing all places such as formal buildings every road and pavements, pedestrian roads, social and cultural places have to be suitable for handicapped people. To illustrate, 50 of the 500 busses which are bought for the city transportation have the required elevator equipment for disabled. Because of this situation, disabled people are forced to use private vehicle and taxis. Disabled people comprising 12,2 
 % of the population of Ankara are isolated from society due to these inappropriate transportation conditions.



   The ramps are constructed for handicapped people to climb up to the pavements but the thing is the slope of those ramps are not appropriate for disabled people to use. They are too high and even narrow to pass through. To uplift disabled people, their kiths and kins have to overexert or be too strong because
these ramps are more scarped than the standard ramps. These ramps are just built to be there not to be used, not to solve the problems of the disabled. (Unflexibility in use, high physical effort, size and space not for approach and use)

 



Just think that you are disabled, would you like to continue your life stucking in your home and contending with others help all the time, with the awareness of living actively if you live in another country?
