dc.description.abstractDisabled persons always have less opportunity in social life, especially, lack of facilities for daily livings. A survey study was conducted with the aim to evaluate number and appearance state of facilities for disabled persons on 270 places, including government sectors, state enterprises and private sectors, in Khon Kaen’s urban area, Khon Kaen province. The results showed that no places surveyed in this study provided escalators, toilets, car parks, signboards, information counters, public telephones and letter boxes which met a national standard for disabled persons. In addition, although some places provided facilities for disabled persons, most of them did not meet the standard. It was concluded that standard facilities for disabled persons in Khon Kaen’s urban area were not enough for the requirement of them. Thus, people who are responsible in social welfare of this issue should have a positive attitude towards disabled persons and work together for the provision of standard facilities in order to promote a good quality of life for disabled persons.en_US
