Abstract
A hearing impaired person's condition can not easily be understood as it is not readily apparent that the individual has a disability. There were many opinions expressed which made it clear that it is inappropriate for there to be no consideration for hearing impaired person in the Building Accessibility Improvement Act. This research aimed, in light of these opinions, to make several surveys at schools for disabled children and some hearing impaired person organizations, a questionnaire and interviews. Also an analysis was done on the environment in and around building, their barriers, and activities around the hearing impaired that impact on them as well as to examine architectural correspondence in the future.
