Abstract

More than one billion people in the world lived with disabilities, and 200 million experienced heavy functioning difficulties. Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) usually had limited economic participation, faced poverty and limited access to housing. Service Learning Program in Architecture Department (Inclusive Design Course) was created to answer the Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) needs. The course was supported by UBCHEA (https://unitedboard.org/) in the program of Service Learning of Inclusive Design for Homes and Schools in Surabaya and Bandung: Participatory Design and Campaign. It was started with accessibility evaluation at PwDs’ residence (wheelchair users) in Surabaya. Simulation as PwDs in Petra Campus was conducted to create empathy to users. Later on, an inclusive-and-universal design was proposed. Three participatory workshops in Surabaya and Bandung were conducted to review it. The new design was produced for catering the wheelchair users. In conclusion, role play and participatory design process was the key important of successful program.
