名词

新加坡建设局(Building and Construction Authority)为鼓励建筑物业主增设无障碍设施而设立的基金。

DEFINITION

Noun

A fund established by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) to encourage building owners to add accessibility features.

由来
  • 2006 年,新加坡建设局设立无障碍建设基金,提供建筑物业主改造现有建筑和增设必要的无障碍设施的资金。基金的总额为四千万。
  • 在 1990 年,政府开始实施无障碍通行准则(Code on Barrier-Free Accessibility),而无障碍建设基金只适用于此准则实施前所建造的私人建筑。每个改造项目只限申请两次基金,并且申请金额的顶限为 30 万元。
  • 基金可以用来资助基本无障碍设施的建设成本,最多可达成本的 80%。这些设施包括电梯、位于底层的厕所以及附上无障碍设施的标志等。
  • 基金也可用以增设有助于残障人士或是便于家庭使用的设施,如无障碍家庭洗手间、盲文标示和导听系统等。
ETYMOLOGY
  • In 2006, the BCA established the Accessibility Fund to provide building owners with funds to renovate existing buildings and add essential accessibility features. The total amount of the fund is $40 million.
  • In 1990, the government began to implement the Code on Barrier-Free Accessibility in Buildings. The Accessibility Fund is only for private buildings built before the implementation of the Code. Each development is eligible for up to two applications, and could obtain a grant of up to $300,000.
  • The Fund can be used to cover up to 80% of the construction cost of Basic Accessibility Features, including lifts, toilets on the building's first storey, and signage for such features.
  • The Fund can also be used to construct additional features that are family-friendly or helpful for the disabled, such as accessible family washrooms, Braille signage, and audio guidance systems.
例句
建设局发言人受询时指出,我国约有 800 栋建筑将须遵守上述条例,全额费用将由业者承担,但旧建筑的业者可透过申请无障碍建设基金抵消成本。(《联合早报》,07/03/2020)
