Abstract

In the society of our present time where globalization and information technologies rapidly develops, priorities must be given in every area starting from the area of design, they must be given to the persons who produce information but not to information itself; to the persons who create technology but not technology itself and to the persons who use both of them together. Depending on the technological alterations making progress consistently, having the humans start to live for longer period of time and more independently, propounded the necessity to handle traditional design understanding again and at the same time, this has made out the requirement of a new design approach which provides more availability for the products and environments universally. This design approach is 

the design understanding of the future which provides participations of all user groups with the same possibilities and without limiting with special solutions or measures to different areas of life such as sheltering, education, working and entertainment by also covering handicapped users. Doing discrimination in the topic of service presented to human and preventing equal sharing of the possibilities do not comply with the design understanding of our age.
