Due to the escalating global population, increased conflicts, and the prevalence of diseases leading to disabilities either from birth or later in life, developed nations are actively pursuing the creation of spaces that can improve the well-being and quality of life for individuals within this demographic. Individuals with physical disabilities necessitate specific facilities due to the unique challenges they face compared to the rest of society. The lack of awareness regarding accessible public environments and centers where individuals with disabilities can enhance their skills and engage in social interactions has inadvertently resulted in designers constructing buildings that minimally address the needs of disabled individuals. Considering the global population growth, the increase in wars, and the prevalence of diseases leading to disability at birth or thereafter, developed countries are seeking to create spaces that can enhance the well-being and quality of life for this demographic. Physically disabled individuals, due to the differences they have with other members of society, require specific facilities. Lack of awareness about public environments and centers where individuals with disabilities can improve their skills and social interactions has led designers to unconsciously construct buildings that play a minimal role in meeting the needs of the disabled. The aim of this research is to identify the physical factors influencing architecture to improve the quality of life for individuals with physical disabilities in buildings with public functionsThe primary objective of this research is to identify the physical factors in architectural design that contribute to enhancing the quality of life for individuals with physical disabilities, particularly in buildings with public functions. The central question guiding this research is: What physical factors are effective in improving the quality of life for individuals with physical disabilities within the context of constructing public urban buildings? The chosen research methodology is qualitative, utilizing interviews and employing MAXQDA software for data analysis to collect pertinent information. Interviews were conducted until saturation was achieved, involving individuals with physical disabilities, veterans, and those diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.The results derived from the conducted studies affirm that certain factors play a pivotal role in shaping the quality of life for individuals with physical disabilities. These factors encompass spatial dimensions and proportions, the promotion of individual independence during social interactions within spaces, the extent of vegetation coverage, the availability of facilities and equipment, the form and geometry of the space, the integration of sports activities, and the adaptability of spaces to meet the specific needs and desires of individuals with physical disabilities. Furthermore, easy access to spaces, thoughtful route planning, and the presence of social support significantly contribute to improving the overall quality of life for individuals with physical disabilities. In summary, this research underscores the importance of considering these physical factors in architectural design to create inclusive and accessible public spaces that cater to the diverse needs of individuals with physical disabilities. The findings emphasize the significance of integrating thoughtful design elements and supportive measures to enhance the overall well-being and quality of life for this demographic in urban settings.
