This research aims to improve the work effectiveness of people with physical disabilities in department stores, retail and wholesale companies in Bangkok. It focuses on the environment and facilities needed by people with three types of disabilities, visual impairment, hearing impairment, and wheelchair users. A mixed research method was used (questionnaires, interviews, and observations). The results were applied to a design process based on the needs of people with physical disabilities and addressed solving their work problems, increasing their work effectiveness, and bringing the results of the design to a group discussion. The group was made up of 15 experts who were supervisors, representatives of the people with each type of physical disability, instructors, and personnel from the university knowledgeable about universal design for people with disabilities. Architects and designers helped to brainstorm ideas and develop designs that led to production and product testing. Testing was conducted to compare pretest and posttest results using designed products to evaluate the work effectiveness of the people with physical disabilities using statistical analysis (paired t-tests). The results using developed products showed a higher average posttest score than pretest. This indicated a statistically higher work effectiveness (α =0.05) and supports the research hypothesis.

-The aim of this study was to analyze the validity and reliability of an instrument to assess bicycle use patterns in urban areas through systematic observation. The instrument items were selected from a literature review. Content validity was established by consensus opinion of experts of the physical activity area. The temporal stability (reliability) was verified by percentage of agreement and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Observations were conducted using an adapted protocol based on the System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities (SOPARC), consisting of systematic scans for counting cyclists in an urban area through video images provided by the public transport control system of Curitiba (URBS). Observers A and B recorded a total of 383 and 378 cyclists. Most of the observed subjects were men (87%), adults (84%), cycling on the BRT lane (54%), coming from downtown (54%), rode the bicycle on the wrong side of the street (58.2%), were not wearing a helmet (76.8) and bicycled alone (64%). Agreement percentiles ranged from 89.2 to 99.5% and ICC values from 0.922 to 0.999. According to criteria adopted, reliability was considered high in all categories included in the instrument. The instrument showed validity and reliability to be used in studies aiming to evaluate bicycle use patterns in Brazilian urban areas.Key words: Bicycling; Evaluation; Leisure activities; Observation; Pendular migration; Validity of tests. Resumo -O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a validade e fidedignidade de um instrumento para avaliar o padrão de uso de bicicleta em áreas urbanas de forma observacional. Os itens componentes do instrumento foram selecionados a partir da revisão da literatura sobre o tema. A validade de conteúdo foi estabelecida pelo parecer consensual de especialistas da área de atividade física e saúde. A estabilidade temporal (fidedignidade) foi verificada por meio do percentual de concordância e pelo coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (CCI). As observações foram realizadas com um protocolo adaptado e baseado no System for Observing Play and Recreation in
