Abstract
All human societies are a combination of people with different levels of strength and need, so in order to achieve a sustainable society, the appropriate distribution of resources is of particular importance. In this regard, since the early 1980s, a broad-based design movement has started, which deals with designing products, environment, applications and services in such a way as to be practicable for everyone as long as possible without any modifications or particular design. The present study seeks to develop through using the principles of a broad-based design and localization of this knowledge, a framework which can be used in the biome of Ira and especially the city of Sanandaj and designed a residential complex that is suitable for every member of the society with any level of strength. In order to achieve this goal, a descriptive study and a correlation branch have been used which are conducted by survey method and the research is applied in terms of purpose. In this regard, 385 questionnaires were distributed among residents of the residential complexes and citizens in Sanandaj and their compatibility with the principles of the broad-based design has been measured. In the next step, Friedman's Prioritization Test was used and the significance of each of the principles were shown and which the results at the end showed that the principle of size and area for access and performance as the most important priority and flexibility during operation, the minimum physical effort, Understandable information, considering the limit of error, simple and sensory use, and fair use are in the next places of order of priority. After this stage, the above results are considered as the main priority of the design structure in the final section, which means that the physical planning of spaces and the overall structure of spaces are based on the results obtained. In creasing the area of the spaces, considering the spaces of rotation with the wheelchair within the spaces and standardizing the dimensions and size of the spaces are used as the main design strategies. Also removing stairs and and physical barriers in motion paths, using spaced partitions, applying work surfaces at different heights, using movable furniture, and using remote control systems and several other, are among the strategies which affect the final design in the design stage directly and also affect the final space created.
