Özet

Together with the introduction of 'universal design', 'inclusive design' and related concepts, the aim and the target for 'accessibility' have taken a new direction, and a totally new understanding through these concepts has developed. It has been widely recognised that; not only being 'accessible' and being compatible with the standards are enough, but also looking from perspective of 'fundamental human rights'; 'inclusivity' is essential. As 'universal' and/or 'inclusive' design requires further than the standards, the importance of social, psychological and aesthetic dimensions of accessibility is now a rising trend in the area of design. And for these dimensions to be seeked by the society, a certain point of awareness has to be reached beforehand.
