How is the barrier-free design in Japan reflected? Why can it be praised all over the world? Japan is a very aging country. Even in big cities like Tokyo and Osaka, white-haired workers can be seen everywhere in industries such as taxis, supermarkets, and restaurants. If you travel to a small town in Japan, young people are even rarer. Almost all the people playing in the arcade are gray-haired old people. Regarding aging, Japan has initiated various measures more than ten years ago to improve public accessibility measures. Universal design in Japanese public facilities. In China, passengers in wheelchairs are rarely seen in subways. However, in Japan, it is very common and normal for people with disabilities to travel. Is it because there are so many people with disabilities in Japan? In fact, it is not. It is the public facilities in Japan that are very user-friendly, taking into account the needs of the elderly and the disabled, allowing the disabled not only to go out freely, but also to go out comfortably. For example, many roads in Japan are at the same height as the storefront, there is no height difference, and it is completely barrier-free for people with limited mobility; the gap between the vent holes is very small and will not jam high heels, and there is also an vent hole in the store to prevent water from entering the store, etc. . Barrier-free stairs The handrails designed according to the trend of the steps are the barrier-free environment. Those thoughtful designs are designed to allow 0-100 people, whether walking, wheelchair, or crutches, to travel comfortably. To talk about Japanese barrier-free design, I can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights... I will pick one of the most representative areas-the toilet! In the eyes of the Japanese, toilets u003d facades. How to let the disabled or the elderly go to the toilet with dignity, one toilet is enough to show the meticulousness and humanity of the Japanese. Many of these designs are worthy of our study and reference, for the sake of our parents, elders, and even more for ourselves who will gradually get old in the future! Standardized barrier-free facilities include automatic doors, nursing beds, washbasins, and toilets. These four facilities are standardized barrier-free facilities. Automatic doors The entrance of barrier-free toilets in Japan is very wide, and the entrance adopts an automatic door system, and the standard width is more than 90cm. There is no height difference between the inside and outside of the toilet, and both wheelchairs and strollers can enter directly. Compared with ordinary toilets, barrier-free toilets have a lower opening and closing button, which is convenient for wheelchair users. The button is designed into a larger shape and can be easily operated with only nails or elbows. The standard height of the nursing bed is 50cm, and the size is 60*150cm. It is a nursing bed that carefully considers the needs of users to undress, change clothes, and even lie down.
