Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the barrier-free environment at Fukui University's Bunkyo Campus, focusing on the mobility of students using manual wheelchairs. Methods: Data were collected on architectural plans, barrier-free facilities, and class schedules at Fukui University’s Bunkyo Campus. Measurements included step heights, slopes, and the accessibility of classroom furniture for manual wheelchairs. Mobility was assessed by timing the movement between 19 classrooms used in the second semester of 2022 during breaks and summer vacation. Results: This study highlights that while Fukui University’s Bunkyo Campus has some barrier-free buildings, significant improvements are needed. Issues include inadequate elevators, hand operated doors, and multi-purpose restrooms, as well as inefficient classroom's furniture layouts for wheelchair users. To enhance accessibility, future efforts should focus on reducing elevator wait times, automating doors, and optimizing classroom designs. Implications: The study indicates that Fukui University’s Bunkyo Campus needs significant improvements in barrier-free accessibility. It provides foundational data for future detailed planning and implementation. Enhanced campus accessibility and better classroom designs are crucial for equal learning environments. Similar issues may exist at other Japanese universities, warranting broader investigation. |
