Urban green spaces make an invaluable contribution to the health and well-being of all city residents. Therefore, urban park quality accessibility are crucial factors in stimulating physical mental benefits. This study aimed assess parks their as reported by people with mobility difficulties (seniors, blind partially sighted people). Four key features a place (accessibility linkages, comfort image, uses activities sociability) were considered in-depth-interviews (IDI) "walk-and-talk"...

Urban parks should be inclusive for all. Availability and accessibility of urban determine the quality life in cities. The importance access increases residents with limited mobility who, facing obstacles due to inadequate adjustment surrounding physical space, are exposed social exclusion. Five groups respondents completed a survey questionnaire revealing their attitudes towards green areas indicating barriers parks’ accessibility. were designed include blind vision impaired people, those...

People with locomotion difficulties encounter many barriers in a pedestrian environment. Pavement quality has been shown to substantially affect satisfaction general, and its optimal design may contribute reducing the stigma put on people impairments. Our research involved survey assessing perception attitudes towards pavement characteristics for comfort. The classic correlation of variables based contingency tables was used analyse data test whether respondents’ perceptions depended certain...

Celem dociekań jest wykazanie skuteczności nieanalizowanych dotąd właściwości zastosowania podłoża strukturalnego do zwiększenia pojemności retencyjnej. Sposób przeprowadzenia badań obejmuje: przeliczenie powierzchni poszczególnych występujących na terenie opracowania, objętości potencjalnego pod wszystkimi obszarami utwardzonymi (poza nawierzchniami asfaltowymi jezdni) przy uwzględnieniu porowatości tego podłoża, co pozwala uzyskanie wartości objętości, w którą mogą wpłynąć wody deszczowe....
