Abstracts

PL

Do tej pory zagadnieniu dostępności wśród osób z różnymi niepełnosprawnościami żyjących w społeczeństwie arabskim ogólnie, a w społeczeństwie Beduinów w szczególności, poświęcono niewiele badań. Prezentowane w artykule badania to pionierskie studium pilotażowe, które skupia się na kwestii dostępności wśród osób z niepełnosprawnościami w społeczeństwie Beduinów w regionie Negew. Badania zgłębiają problem dostępności oraz główne potrzeby osób z niepełnosprawnościami żyjących w uznanych społecznościach. W toku badań przeprowadzono sto (100) wywiadów z osobami z niepełnosprawnościami żyjącymi w regionie Negew. Część badanych była członkami społeczności uznanych, a część społeczności nieuznanych. Z wyników badań wyłania się ponury i trudny obraz psychicznego i społecznego stanu osób z niepełnosprawnościami w kontekście dostępności instytucji oświatowych i publicznych.

Few research studies have addressed the topic of accessibility among people with different disabilities who live in Arab society in general, and Bedouin society in particular. The present research study is a pilot study, the first of its kind, and addresses the topic of accessibility among those with disabilities in Bedouin society in the Negev. The research examines in-depth the issue of accessibility and the main needs of people with disabilities who live in recognized communities. The research process entailed one hundred (100) interviews with people with disabilities who live in the Negev, some in recognized communities and some in unrecognized communities.The research findings portray a bleak and difficult picture of the mental and social state of people with disabilities in the context of accessibility to educational and public institutions.
