Although the public toilet is small, it condenses the feelings of the people and ingenuity.
This year, the "Sanitation Public Toilet Renovation for the Elderly and Young" was listed as a practical project for the private sector in Shanghai. Up to now, 15 public toilets in Huangpu have been renovated to adapt to the elderly and children. The renovated public toilets are not only unique in terms of toilet layout and service functions, but also reflect the care for "one old and one young" in the details, truly making Huangpu's public toilets "suitable for all ages".
As a model public toilet in Huangpu District, the public toilet on Jiujiaochang Road, located in Shanghai's Chenghuang Temple, has always been the "leader" in the hearts of toilet users.
In the semi-circular pool, the lotus flowers stand slim. Watching the koi, swimming around, an arc bridge erects both ends, and a strong "Yu Garden wind" blows in the face. In addition to its good looks, the old school road public toilet is also a public toilet that embodies "friendliness" everywhere in the details.
Some elderly people are inconvenient to walk and easy to slip, if there is a handrail to borrow a hand, it will be much more convenient and safer. Hua Meiqi, the administrator of the public toilet on the old school road, told reporters that considering the needs of the elderly to go to the toilet, the handrail has become one of the key details of the renovation of the public toilet for the elderly. The reporter noticed that compared with before the transformation, the number of handrails has increased greatly, and the scene setting of "accompanying all the way to the end" has almost been formed.
It is not only the handrails that have been intimately changed, but also the barrier-free passage at the toilet door has also been "slowed down". "To make it easier for wheelchair users to access public toilets, we lowered the angle of the accessibility ramp by 15 degrees, while slightly lengthening the ramp distance to make it more gentle. In this way, the public toilet gate can accommodate two wheelchairs at the same time.
Not only do the elderly like to use the public toilets on the old school road, but also mothers and children like to come here. The reporter saw that in the third toilet of the public toilet, child safety seats and ** seats, children's toilets, children's handwashing stations are equipped with cute luminous round mirrors and polar bear-shaped faucets. The foldable nursing table for mothers and babies solves the inconvenience of mothers who take their children out to change diapers and breastfeed.
Taking into account the needs of special populations, toilets have replaced squatting toilets, and four handrails have been set up in three toilet stalls at different angles. An SOS emergency call bell is installed on the wall side of the handwashing station, so that toilet users can seek help from the public toilet manager at any time in case of emergencyEach toilet stall is equipped with an SOS emergency call bell.
In terms of service, the public toilet on the old school road has also been upgraded. On the basis of the previous "five hearts and four guides" service concept of "comfort, enthusiasm, carefulness, patience, and modesty" and "guidance, guidance, guidance, and persuasion", we will continue to innovate the care model and make the service level of public toilets increase from 10 to 20。
These "small thoughts" and "small details" all reflect the care and intentions of toilet users, making the elderly and children more convenient, more comfortable and more comfortable. In the future, Huangpu will continue to increase the efforts of "sanitation public toilets for the elderly and children", and continue to improve the comfort and satisfaction of citizens by continuously upgrading various software and hardware details.
