PROTOTIPOS DE VIVIENDA SOCIAL E INCLUSIVA PARA PERSONAS CON CAPACIDADES ESPECIALES EN GUAYAQUIL

Abstract

The obligation to supply decent housing increases progressively due to the growing population expansion, which is why there is a need to respond to the constant demand for social housing projects. However, in such projects, the needs of people with disabilities are not sufficiently considered, excluding them from society. For this reason, this work offer a proposal for urban design, where all inhabitants, including those with physical or visual disabilities, can circulate without physical obstacles that limit their access to spaces, both urban and inside homes. This provides several options for distributing the spaces in the houses to adjust to the diversity of needs. With this, it seeks to promote the social inclusion of people with disabilities.
