All
I too endorse, the survey is very interesting and we can certainly look forward
for a more inclusive and richer experience while visiting heritage sites.
I had a telephonic call with her while responding to the survey. Her number is
present in the signature line.
As they say, Rome was not built in a day, similarly it takes time to happen.
Data speaks volumes and it can impact good times when gets documented in aPHD
thesis.
It becomes a solid ground for decision makers to back it. It can also force
them to act. Let us take the positive step in participating in good numbers and
actually we are helping us in the long run.
So you can either fill it in online or go for telephonic survey.
Happy new year all of you and let us look for better days ahead.
Harish.

Subject: [AI] Survey to develop an understanding about how people with vision
impairment perceive, experience and interpret Heritage sites
Dear Friends,
I have found this survey very interesting and have given my feed back too.
I feel everybody should fill this survey and help Kavita to raise voice for
making our Heritage places accessible and end user friendly.
I am forwarding this email on behalf of Kavita murugkar.
Please go through the message below and fill it.
Heritage is regarded as a Universal Cultural resource and many researchers have
studied and catalogued the potential benefits of heritage site visits for all.
However, social inclusion in heritage sites remains a key challenge specially
with respect to people with disabilities. For instance, needs of people with
visual impairments are not taken into consideration in heritage conservation
and management and they are excluded from experiencing heritage, as it is
generally assumed that they may not be able to comprehend the built environment
and architecture in a heritage site.
Such a viewpoint leads to attitudinal barriers which isolate the people with
vision impairment from the remaining world of sighted people.
To address this problem, an in-depth study is proposed to develop an
understanding about how people with vision impairments experience and interpret
heritage sites; understanding the meaning and significance of heritage sites in
their lives and how their experiences and needs can be better understood for
developing appropriate visitor and heritage management strategies and related
policy framework for achieving Social Inclusion in heritage sites.
In order to make this investigation possible, I request your kind co-operation
