| Popis: | 14th International Conference on Mobility and Transport for Elderly and Disabled Persons, Lisbonne, PORTUGAL, 28-/07/2015 - 31/07/2015; This study aims to identify the constraints people with disabilities have to face when making residential choices, to understand how they make such choices and ascertain the role transport issues play in them. Interviews were conducted in the Grand Lyon area with 57 disabled people with different types of impairments and several profiles, and with members of 25 disability rights organizations, assistance services and organizations dealing with housing issues. Our results show that the residential choice process for people with disabilities is different from that for other groups. They more often need to ask for assistance. Whatever their impairment, they need housing that is adapted in terms of location, which is a crucial issue on which their autonomy, independence and social participation depend. They are faced with specific strong constraints such as inequalities and discrimination, difficulties accessing crucial information for finding out about housing, specific needs in terms of proximity of resources, constraints related to the location of adapted housing, and often low income. Our results also show that transport plays an important role in the housing choice of disabled people. In view of the complexity of housing choice for disabled people, it represents an additional source of inequality for access to transport. |
