Sustainable Design for Accessibility should be considered
in all of our physical development in order to make our cities
world class. Accessibility is in the built environment is increasingly
relevant to Malaysia, not only to prepare for the ageing
population, the disabled but also the whole population at large.
According to UN, about 10% of each country population
constitutes the disabled people. According to Department of
Welfare, the total population of disabled is about 313,685.The
main purpose of this paper is to disseminate the participants the
concept of universal design, bad and good practices as well as
providing deeper understanding regarding the existing Malaysian
Standards and the future direction, and other related documents
including ISO Standards for disabled.

PRODUCT EXAMPLES
Tactile mobile device for visual impaired.
Tactile is a future application of electro
tactile technology that engages the sense
of touch by sending digital information as
beats of electricity. There are conductive
pins beneath the multi-touch screen that
sends beats electricity to simulate
physical pressure from the nerves of the
users fingertips. Each pin acts as a pixel
of digital texture that can change
dynamically to allow the blind and visually
impaired people to navigate menus and
other complex features.
