Inclusion of People with Disabilities (PWDs) In the Design Considerations of Sports Complexes in Nigeria: A Case Study of 3 Sports Complexes
Abstract
The research studied the inclusion of people with disabilities (PWDs) in the design considerations of sports complexes in Nigeria. The research adopted a qualitative design, and an interpretivist philosophy guided the study. A structured literature review was deployed to gather information on technical considerations for the inclusive design of sports complexes. The study finds that the seven technical considerations for PWDs in the design of sports complexes were partially included in the complexes studied, with the worst-case scenario being the Steven Keshi Stadium Complex in Asaba. The study recommends 7 technical guidelines of accessibility, horizontal circulation, internal doors, vertical circulation, visual contrast, internal floor finishes & court markings, and acoustics; for the inclusive design of sports complexes.
