Abstract


The purpose of this study is to describe the criteria for designing places of worship for people with disabilities. This paper was based on a review of the literature from a variety of sources, with a focus on Indonesian sources. The paper also included instructions on how to design places in the building for washing and ablation (wudhu) as well as worship (shalat). This research will presumably serve as a reference and guidance for architectural and environmental design, notably in hospitals, schools, and public buildings for people with special needs (i.e. wheelchairs, crutches, and canes for the blind).
