Abstract

Blind people are the most disadvantaged type of disability. Because eyes are superior senses. Many blind people feel more marginalized and their lives are over. Therefore, many blind people spend time at home. But even in his house there are no specific standards to ensure his safety to move independently like normal people. The most basic standard is the comparison anthropometry with its ergonomic value. The purpose of this research is to find the changes in the pattern of domestic activities with blind people and their need to feel safe and comfortable in their daily activities. Data and information are obtained through in-depth interviews and simulation of domestic activities, which are then translated into the Linkert scale. The results showed that the variety of blind backgrounds affect the types of blind needs, and how they respond with their limitations. It was concluded that in reality, the blind are forced to adapt with their limitations rather than getting privileges and ease of activity. For this reason, activity support facilities are the main urgency in responding to blind people doing activities at home. This is an effort to get the same rights and restore the confidence of the blind people.
