“…Kadir and Jamaludin [23] discover that the visual impaired emphasize on the design of guiding blocks, tactile direction or warning indication to facilities in the building, and signage of the building. The hearing impaired focus on the attitude of front-liner staff and signage while the wheelchair-bound emphasize on high gradients or level changes, ramp, barriers in front of ablution faucets, and size of the door and furniture layout in PWDs restroom.…”

According to their findings, Kadir and Jamaludin [23] notice that policies have been given extra attention to guidelines or design for the wheelchairbound user, while other PWDs like the hearing impaired were neglected.…”

Abstract. Physical barriers may hamper persons with disabilities (PWDs) movement in built environment. The needs of physical barrier-free environment are internationally acknowledged. This study explores the Malaysian scenario on access and facilities for PWDs by reviewing relevant legislation and guidelines, and literatures that examined the access and facilities provided in public buildings. This study identifies that Malaysia has plays its roles by establishing the relevant acts and legislation on PWDs needs and requirements. Nevertheless, previous studies on PWDs in Malaysia, demonstrated that there are still lacking on the implementation of the practice towards the acts and legislations. This study suggests that the application of the acts and legislation should be comprehensive covering all types of public buildings in Malaysia. In addition, enforcement by the local authorities and government agencies is crucial in order to successfully creating a barrier-free environment for all.

“…In local context, prior studies highlighted the issues on the PWDs' facilities condition at various case studies including government buildings, hotels, university campus, national parks, shopping malls, and public hospitals (Bashiti & Rahim, 2016;Hussein & Yaacob, 2012;Kadir & Jamaludin, 2012;Osman, Radzi, Bakri, & Ibrahim, 2015;Shalini & Seow Ta, 2015;Talib, Ghani, & Ismail, 2016) Studies have started to highlight on the maintenance aspect of PWDs' facilities. World-class service facilities are becoming outdated after a few years due to inadequate proper maintenance (Shalini & Seow Ta, 2015).…”

Despite the vast research conducted on Persons with Disabilities' (PWDs) facilities, little is known about the condition of the implemented facilities. Previous studies were more focused on design implementation and maintenance issues started to protrude. The overall image that was gathered from the literature on the maintenance aspect of PWDs' facilities is unsatisfactory, i.e. poor maintenance; operation and management often overlook, and outdated facilities due to inadequate proper maintenance. Maintenance aspect can affect the PWDs' quality of living environment by creating barriers to the PWDs and often, to the extent that it involves safety issues. This study aims to obtain empirical evidence on the theory of PWDs' facilities condition in prior studies. Study was conducted at two selected government hospitals in Selangor. The objective is to investigate the condition and maintenance priority of PWDs' facilities using Building Assessment Rating System (BARS) produced by Public Works Department Malaysia. The condition, maintenance priority, and defects or damages of PWDs' facilities have been identified from the analysis. It was found only PWDs' toilets and lifts were having from average to very critical condition and require high maintenance priority. Findings have provided empirical evidence for prior studies on the importance of maintenance management for PWDs' facilities.

“…As confirmed by a comprehensive review, most literature employs users' experiences or opinions to evaluate disability inclusiveness and the accessibility of buildings (Evcil 2009;Kadir, Jamaludin 2012;Thapar et al 2004). This measure of the disability-friendliness of the built environment is notoriously subjective and the measurement results vary according to evaluators' past experience and expectations.…”

Tended to view disability inclusion as merely another mandate, building and construction practitioners have yet to recognize its value in social sustainability. In academia, similarly, it has received less attention than other building performance attributes such as environmental friendliness and indoor air quality. With rights to access now acknowledged as basic human rights, there is demand for a tool to assess building disability inclusiveness, indicating the extent to which building considerations include persons with disabilities (PWDs). This paper proposes a Building Inclusiveness Assessment Score (BIAS) to fill the existing gap. The BIAS framework comprises two hierarchies of inclusion attributes identified from literature, guides, and standards of barrier-free access and universal design. The final product consists of two building disability inclusiveness assessment tools: the Physical Disability Inclusion Sub-score (PDIS) and the Visual Impairment Inclusion Sub-score (VIIS). These are simple, quantitative, objective tools for assessing buildings. We performed a Monte Carlo simulation to validate the assessment protocols. Following the validation, we assessed 48 university buildings at four universities in Hong Kong to illustrate the real-life application of the tools.
