Abstract

God compensates a person who suffers from a hearing defect by allowing that sense to give way to the part of his perception that it was expected to occupy, stimulating another sense, or by requiring him to interact with his society in other ways to compensate for the effects of his defect. As a result, the research problem was the need to develop open public entertainment spaces that are more welcoming to people who have hearing difficulties. Each individual can enjoy the space in accordance with his or her own needs, thereby implementing the Egyptian Constitution's principle of equality among all individuals. The study's goal was to develop architectural recommendations that would allow persons with hearing issues to enjoy open recreational venues while also reducing the negative impacts of hearing defects.

The study used an exploratory inductive technique to identify the anthropology of the demands of people with hearing impairments in open public entertainment places. Lists of goods and proposals were compiled and grouped into three axes (stimulating the senses, available activities, and encouraging physical empowerment). These can be used to assess the conditions of entertainment spaces in terms of their suitability for people with hearing impairments. There were statistical disparities in assessing the relevance of things for people with hearing impairments versus normal individuals.

The descriptive, analytical, comparative field approach was used to study the Minia City Corniche and evaluate its status within the scope of the reference lists that the research produced, both for people with hearing impairments and for normal people. Using the SPSS program to measure the evaluation of the lists of the three study axes by applying the Wilcoxon test, to explore the statistically significant differences in the study axes based on the different evaluation types of the Nile Corniche. The Nile Corniche proved to be suitable for receiving people with hearing difficulties, with an efficiency very close to its level of reception for normal individuals. The study finished with findings and recommendations for empowering people with hearing difficulties in open entertainment places like the Minia Corniche.
