Abstract

Public squares in urban agglomerations are one of the important elements to meet the living
and psychological needs of the human being in general. The research aims to study these
arenas to reach the design considerations that achieve the quality of life for people with special
needs in particular, not nominally that the current trend seeks to reach all the directions that
help to achieve a good and happy life for these groups that enable them to feel belonging and
psychological and spiritual comfort, and help them integrate into society naturally. The
research also aims to identify the full elements of designing a public square that takes into
account the needs of people with special needs.
To reach the goal of the research, the study was divided into two parts: the first includes the
theoretical study to know the foundations of the design of public squares and the elements of
quality of life, requirements and aquads for those with special needs of those squares, and
the second part deals with the analytical study of some squares to determine the extent of the
impact of the use of the requirements and codes of the design of public squares on the design
of the villa by analyzing the results of both the theoretical and analytical study. Through the
study, it was possible to come up with a methodology that includes road crossings, parking
places, signs, services to be provided in public squares and other elements that achieve the
friendliness of life in these squares for people with special needs, which are the criteria that
the research recommends to be followed to design squares suitable for people with special
needs and also all groups frequenting these squares
