ABSTRACT
The Universal Design(UD) is a recent issue related to preserve human dignity, equality and human settlements. This study is aimed at describing circumstances and problems of residential bathrooms and in identifying the awareness and needs of adapting the UD concept for residential bathrooms. 570 persons with various physical conditions completed questionnaires that were used as data in this study. The results showed that the respondents' awareness of the UD was very low, but that their needs for adapting the UD concept was relatively high. Safety was the most important factor in adapting the UD, followed by convenience and accessibility. In conclusion, three types of specific design considerations for residential bathroom planning were suggested through the adaptation of the UD.
