Abstract:
In developing a network of facilities for the rehabilitation of the disabled, the State has to provide assistance in the coordination and planning of services. When granting financial support to particular projects, the public authorities should not let themselves be guided by local initiatives alone, but also by more important viewpoints of state development planning. In this connection the regional policy with its tendency to decentralise is playing a decisive part. It is supplemented by the policy of development planning. Such specialised planning is demonstrated in the booklet "Workshops for the disabled in Baden-Württemberg - a situation and requirement analysis" - published in January 1975 by the Bundesministerium für Arbeit, Gesundheit und Sozialordnung, Baden-Württemberg. It includes: (1) an inventory of the number, size and types of existing places in workshops in the external and internal fields, (2) a complete address list of the workshops and their financially responsible agencies, (3) a requirement analysis for the years 1974-1980 comprising of statements on financial resources designed to satisfy the additional demand, (4) a concept guided by general principles and goals of town and country planning as well as recommendations for adequate location and for approaches towards an interlinked system of workshops.
