| Buildings and the built environment in Singapore are mandated to construct the environment in an accessible manner, that is wheelchair friendly or an environment that is to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialised design (BCA, 2016).
However, wheelchair users are still facing much difficulties to carry out the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) in Singapore, especially travelling around in the CBD area. To travel from one point to another, most able bodied persons can take only 10 minutes with different choices of routes. However, there is only one possible route for wheelchair users as there is only one lift. Moreover, the wheelchair friendly route is not fully sheltered which will cause them to wheel themselves in the rain. Link to article. |
