The proportion of aged people in society can be expected to increase substantially very soon, and in preparation for this, products, services and the environment need to be improved based on a viewpoint of universal design, so that these improvements are appropriate to all segments of society. Currently, the installation of toilets for the handicapped is progressing in various public areas, to support the social activities of the aged and handicapped. In fact, from the viewpoint of universal design, there is a profound need for improvement in ordinary public toilet facilities also, but study and action to achieve this is slow to progress. With this in mind, we surveyed 22 public toilets in and around Hamamatsu Station, for the purpose of analysis and assessment of existing facilities, from the viewpoint of universal design. As a result, we found that although all these 22 public toilets were located within one small area, there were considerable differences in the fixtures provided. There were many details where insufficient thought had been given to the convenience of all users. Further, we found that it would require only small alterations to make these existing facilities more suitable for all.
