Creating an inclusive mall environment with the PRECEDE-PROCEED model: a living lab case study

Abstract

This knowledge can help others interested in using the PPM to create similar enabling and inclusive environments world-wide. Implication for rehabilitation While public environments provide opportunities for participation and social inclusion, they are not always inclusive spaces and may not accommodate the wide diversity of people. The PRECEDE PROCEDE Model (PPM) is well suited as a framework for the development, implementation, and evaluation of an inclusive mall. Environmental barriers can negatively impact the rehabilitation process by impeding the restoration and augmentation of function. Removing barriers to social participation and independent living by improving inclusivity in the mall and other environments positively impacts the lives of people with disabilities.

Working in unprecedented times: Intersectionality and women of color in UK higher education in and beyond the pandemic

“…When one of us began trying to grapple with institutional COVID-19 policies, she experienced a lack of knowledge of where to go for clarification or resolution, produced by built-in complexity and fragmentation of the university and compounded by a lack of confidence to go higher up chains of responsibility. Where Ahmed et al (2017) writes of complaint pride as "expressions of willingness to listen and learn from complaint"-a performance to indicate an open door that actually does not exist-the first hurdle emerged when she was trying to figure out who is listening and to whom the query should be directed-a barrier created by multiple pressures. For a start, she had to carefully consider who had expressed the willingness to listen and what her relationship was to this person.…”

L’expérience vécue de personnes ayant des incapacités en visite dans un centre commercial rénové

“…La présente étude se rapporte au travail qui a suivi la fin du projet de recherche du laboratoire vivant ayant évalué le processus et les impacts de l'ensemble de la démarche (Ahmed et al, 2017;Kehayia et al, 2014). Les rénovations ayant été faites, le but de l'étude présentée ici est de s'attarder à l'expérience vécue par des personnes ayant des incapacités lors d'explorations du centre commercial afin d'identifier les facteurs de l'environnement qui l'influencent.…”

“…Davantage de données de créer des lignes directrices dont pourraient s'inspirer les décideurs lors de l'élaboration de politiques concernant l'accessibilité des lieux et édifices et l'inclusion des personnes ayant des incapacités. C'est d'ailleurs dans cette optique que d'autres études ont été réalisées(Ahmed et al, 2017;Poldma, 2020).Pour ce qui est de la réadaptation, il est important que les personnes fassent des visitesde lieux publics et qu'elles identifient les obstacles ou les facilitateurs. Ainsi, la personne et ses thérapeutes peuvent concevoir un plan d'intervention qui préparera la personne à trouver des moyens pour surmonter les obstacles et vivre des expériences de participation sociale.…”

Applying an RRI Filter in Key Learning on Urban Living Labs’ Performance

“…Four data sources have been used in the design and exploration of these lists: (1) a systematic literature review concerning living labs' performance and key factors; (2) qualitative analysis of six case studies selected on the basis of different organizational complexity, using their websites and (two cases) evaluation reports; these were living labs on ambient assisted living of elderly, refurbishment of a shopping mall and of a hospital, and university campuses as living labs; (3) sharpening of results in two workshops and an international conference (in particular, application of the results to urban living labs); (4) interaction and interviews with experts at Delft University of Technology (NL) and Manchester University (UK) (see acknowledgement). Inspiration was also drawn from participant observation in Alexis Nihon Shopping Mall in Montreal (Canada), aimed at increasing social integration of disabled persons [29,44,45]. Accordingly, the methodology in previous parts of the study has focused on qualitative case-studies, the results of which have been tested and adapted in various rounds [46,47].…”
