dc.description.abstract | Designing architectural spaces is
thought to contribute to social inclusion,
eventually satisfying all components of the
society. The building and space characteristics
have a powerful impact on the quality on
peoples ‘lives. It's all about the choices the
planners, developers or architects make. And
those choices can either encourage or restrict
people's well-being. With parallel
technological innovations to these built
environment and sociological research, many
characteristics have been added to the built
environment that empowers availability,
security and feeling of belonging. This
scenario is also apparent in developing
nations as the bulk of the population belongs
to the poor and low-income groups.
Furthermore, the suggestions for growth are
always subject to other factors such as policy,
financial factors and profit. With regard to all
these problems, there have been numerous
summits and conferences on maintaining
social inclusion, achieving general
sustainability. Among them, the Sustainable
Development Goals 11 is one of the most
prominent in the process of transforming
towns into more livable urban buildings and
also highlights social inclusiveness as a major
need. The whole research aims to promote
social inclusion and defeat the present
exclusivity. Social exclusivity leads to arise in
social inequity, which is today's primary social
problem. In overcrowded government areas
such as the Galle bus stand and the Galle
railway station, these problems are very
evident. The objectives of this study are to,
identifying the probability of exclusive design
to create social inequality, understanding and
defining the Social Inclusion as a concept, and
then identify the potentials of inclusive design
on overcoming social issues. | en_US |
