Abstract

Barrier-free-conscious design for handicapped and aged persons is required for hospitals and public spaces in the present. The objective of this paper is to fmd out what kind of lobby chairs and benches are utilized and to confirm the suitable selection for use in hospitals, in onier to develop the design method of lobby chairs and benches for physically handicapped persons and the aged persons. Field surveys were carried out in 15 hospitals to measure shapes and dimensions of the lobby chairs and benches. The measured dimensions and angles in each part of the chairs and the benches were analyzed. They were classified into three types. The distribution and mean values of the dimensions for each type were founded and were compared with the suitable size of the pmtotype chairs by Kohara. The obtained sizes of the chairs and the benches in this study were not necessarily agreed with the pretotypes. It was found that only 14 kinds of lobby chairs and benches agreed with the prototypes II and III by Kohara and they were not suitably selected for use in the hospitals.
