KAMENIKOVA VĚRA: Seating furniture for public interior (Creating of non-discriminatory interior for people with limitations and seniors). Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2013, LXI, No. 6, pp. 1725–1731 For optimal use and function in the public interior evaluation of seating furniture is important in terms of typology, ergonomics, safety, quality of design, used materials, ecology and other properties. The aim is to adjust the dimensional requirements of the seating furniture for public interior to meet the needs of the current population and refl ect the proportional changes in the human body over the last decades. Due to the ageing of population and growing number of people with movement and physiological limitations (which also include the elderly), it will become, in near future, more topical need to modify the rules related to seating furniture that is used in public space. Particularly, in the term of simple and non-discriminatory sitting down and standing up. Proposal to change standards is based on the analysis of used values, the results of the current anthropometrical survey and addition of parameters that were processed by using ergonomic so ware. In most of the activities related to the seating there is an interaction with the surrounding furniture. Based on this assumption arise the importance of connection between seating furniture and reaching distance of the person sitting on it. Ranges are in the computer simulation divided according to intensity static, dynamic and comfortable (with the preservation of the natural physiological limitations of joints). The resulting values of simulations can be defi ned distances suitable for placing objects near seating furniture to ensure the possibility of full utilization. If the principles are kept and they come from the needs of people with limitations, it is certain that the environment will suit all healthy individuals and at the same time it will be non-discriminatory for a greater proportion of people with physical limitations. furniture, sitting, non-discriminatory public interior, anthropometry, reach zone, handicap Not every piece of the seating furniture, out of wide spectrum of typology, is appropriate for public interior. It must meet a wide list of requirements for the design, construction, and use of materials as well as for safety. Sitting is closely connected with human anatomy. Based on this and anthropometrical measurement criteria for appropriate ergonomics and dimension of seating furniture can be established. Conclusions of the current research are diff erent from the original studies (Grandjean, 1973; Panero and Zelnik, 1979; Dlabal, 1983; Neufert, 2000) because it is a project realized in a long time ago (the latest data from the sixties 20th century). It would be desirable to make the survey at regular time intervals when it is possible to establish (on the basis of the results) the data series and then specify an estimation of the objective trend of the future 1726 Věra Kamenikova development of the population and related changes. Only current users’ data processing can ensure the production of appropriate furnishings that will satisfy the majority of population. It is appropriate to note that the users of seating furniture, especially if it is located in the interior, are not only people in optimum physical condition. Public environment must be created for the full availability to all the users and discriminatory barriers must not arise within it. Sitting in the majority of cases is related to other human activities. Precisely because of the need to tackle the complexity of the session it is not possible to defi ne the seating furniture in isolation but always in coexistence with the surrounding structures. From that assumption we can understand the importance of the context of seating furniture and the distance of a person who sits on it. The aim of the work is to adjust the dimensional requirements for seating furniture for the interior so as to meet the needs of the current population and to refl ect proportional changes of the human body in the last decades. The location of the furniture in the public space brings with it the condition of fi tness for a major proportion of the users because there is no possible adjustment to the level of the user in the private interior. The aim is to defi ne the ergonomic criteria that comply with the conditions and this “universal” location. The issue of ergonomics must be dealt with on the basis of the current anthropometric measurement. Due to the ageing of population and growing number of people with movement and physiological limitations (which also include the elderly), in the near future, more topical need to modify the requirements related to seating furniture that is used in public space will be necessary. Particularly, in the terms of simple and non-discriminatory sitting down and standing up. The issue about elderly people is identical to the issue about people with disabilities and the requirements for seating furniture are not very diff erent as it results from their needs. The aim is to incorporate those terms and conditions to the requirements of seating furniture for public interior so as the resulting solution is not discriminatory and allows for a full recovery, as well as for persons with disabilities. In most activities related to sitting the interaction with the rest of the furniture and furnishings occurs. It is necessary to take their coherence and the possibility of a full recovery into account. The need for solutions of the distance of the sitting man implies from that. The distance is aff ected not just by the physical dimensions but also by the physical condition of the
