Incorporating accessibility in software development brings significant benefits such as the inclusion of people with disabilities. Recognizing the diversity of users with different requirements and needs within software development facilitates its use by the greatest number of users regardless of their individual conditions. The objective of this research is to obtain a knowledge base to identify those practices for which there is evidence of their use in the development of accessible software. A Systematic Literature Mapping (SLM) focused on identifying practices that incorporate accessibility activities in the software life cycle was conducted, resulting in 29 studies that met the selection criteria. The results show that the phase with more evidence of incorporation of accessibility activities in software development is the testing phase, when testers are used to verify accessibility within web pages, followed by the construction phase, when methodologies that include accessibility within the software development process are used; in the design phase it is common to incorporate artifacts that guide the development of accessible software and, finally, in the requirements phase it is common to use the requirements description to obtain and document accessibility requirements.

Using a case study of a kerb – the social stone – found at a tram traffic Island, the text demonstrates the re/production of the ableist city and analyses processes of transforming such a city into an accessible space for people with disabilities. The authors apply actor-network theory to analyse the mutual construction of space and bodies. To understand this construction, the concept of topology is used, which the article develops by introducing 'ableist' and 'accessible' topology. Unlike topography, which is in concord with able-bodied people, topology is more suitable for the analysis of space when also including non-standard bodies. Moreover, it allows the authors to analyse the mechanisms that reproduce and control the currently inaccessible city on the one hand, and it provide some room for change on the other. However, to make this change happen, a specific network must be established. To trace the associations that create such a network, the study uses in-depth interviews with involved actors collected over a ten-year period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

International laws, such as the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, represent a step towards equity. They also imply both an increase in national and regional legislation, as well as greater institutional complexity, in order to make these rights effective. Therefore, we want to know how the right to universal accessibility has been implemented in legislation. A content analysis of 36 regulations related to disability and dependency in Aragon was carried out. Finally, it was detected that, despite certain advances, the adaptation of the regulations has not been consolidated, affecting the recognition of the rights of people with disabilities, especially the youngest and those with severe support needs.

El Código Técnico de la Edificación (CTE) en el apartado de Seguridad de Utilización y Accesibilidad (SUA) incluye más de 200 parámetros de accesibilidad que a su vez derivan a otras normativas. Sin embargo, los Informes de Evaluación del Edificio (IEE), como se mostrará en este trabajo, plantean un análisis mucho más escaso y subjetivo, no existiendo correlación entre sus indicadores y todos los previstos en el CTE. El objetivo de esta comunicación es analizar los parámetros del CTE en su conjunto, estudiar la proporción de parámetros físicos, frente a sensoriales y cognitivos y generar una herramienta que permita el conocimiento y aplicación de la accesibilidad universal en los edificios de vivienda plurifamiliar de forma eficiente. La metodología desarrollada es una revisión bibliográfica de la normativa y su volcado a unos listados Excel diseñados para clasificar y cuantificar los datos, donde se observa un crecimiento del 32% al añadir las normativas relacionadas y un alto peso de parámetros físicos Abstract The Technical Building Code (CTE) in the section on Safety in Use and Accessibility (SUA) includes more than 200 accessibility parameters that in turn derive from other regulations. However, the Building Evaluation Reports (IEE), as will be shown in this paper, propose a much more scarce and subjective analysis, and there is no correlation between its indicators and all those foreseen in the CTE. The aim of this paper is to analyse the parameters of the CTE as a whole, to study the proportion of physical versus sensory and cognitive parameters and to generate a tool that allows knowledge and application of universal accessibility in multi-family housing buildings in an efficient way. The methodology developed is a bibliographic review of the regulations and their dumping to Excel lists designed to classify and quantify the data, where a 32% growth is observed when adding the related regulations and a high weight of physical parameters.

This study presents the diffculties encountered by journalists in applying media accessibility requirements on the Internet. For its development, 24 journalists who produce digital content and four computer professionals from cybermedia and organizations in charge of developing media technologies were interviewed. The analysis of the results shows that the absence of accessibility knowledge, together with the lack of help that content management systems (CMS) provide to incorporate the established accessibility requirements, are the main causes of the presence of barriers in the digital media for people with disabilities and the elderly. According to the study's participants, the accessibility criteria least frequently used by journalists are textual alternatives to semantic use of color for people who cannot see colors, subtitling of audiovisual content for deaf people, and audio description for blind people.

The aim of this paper is to describe the evolution of disability in cinema via its relationship with the specialized press. We analysed all movies’ data sheets from ‘Filmaffinity’ (n=1,180), together with all the professional reviews highlighted in them (n=2,000). The results show a preponderance of drama over other genres, although it is documentaries that obtain the best reception from cultural press. Women and Anglophone media tend to value these productions more favourably. In addition, the quality of the records, according to these experts, increases year after year. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El artículo está construido a partir de la investigación que se hizo sobre el tema de la discapacidad abordado desde una perspectiva cualitativa, enfocándonos en el uso de la investigación etnográfica en el diseño con el objetivo de comprender a mayor profundidad la percepción de los objetos, contextos, sistemas o servicios con y en los que interactúan las personas. Las perspectivas que el grupo de investigadores involucrados obtuvimos a través de este enfoque son únicas, nos permitió visibilizar particularidades de la discapacidad y empatizar con la experiencia de las personas que la viven. Presentamos de manera resumida el método de trabajo, hallazgos y los conocimientos adquiridos poniendo en práctica una perspectiva transdisciplinaria, enlazando conceptos, campos y habilidades para extender el alcance disciplinario, en este caso hacia el ámbito de la arquitectura en la que reconocemos como potencial su lenguaje no verbal en pro de la inclusión.

Universities, in compliance with current legislation, develop policies to favour inclusion. This implies significant effort in order to overcome barriers related with study plans, teaching methods and assessment, accessibility to both spaces and infrastructures, and technological supports. The main objective of the present study is to examine the perceptions of a group of students and teachers in order to obtain a general overview of accessibility at university. Specifically, the study strives to determine student and teacher evaluations of accessibility at their university, whilst also examining whether perceptions differ between both groups and as a function of knowledge field. Information was collected from both students and teachers using a questionnaire designed ad hoc for the study. Obtained outcomes indicate that surveyed students strongly agree that university infrastructures, center facilities, services available at university, furniture, classroom conditions and the online portal should favor the inclusion of individuals with disabilities. Similarly, teaching staff also manifested similar ideas although ratings for all items were slightly lower than those given by students. Likewise, significant differences were observed between the two populations, with students reporting that the furniture favored the inclusion of students with disabilities. Differences were also observed as a function of the knowledge area in which students and teachers worked. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of the paper was to study the administration of protocols and accessibility for people with disabilities at the Hotel Caribe in the city of Cartagena de Indias, focusing on the different modifications that were carried out to comply with them. The descriptive documentary was used as the type of investigation, followed by the nonexperimental design because none of the variables under study were manipulated. At the same time, the observation method was used, since a visit to the hotel was made to verify the accessible and disability-friendly implementation. The Caribe hotel has implemented accessibility strategies for the disabled from their arrival to their accommodation in the hotel room. It is concluded that the hotel shaped its accessibility strategy taking into account the Hotel Sector Technical Standard (NTSH006). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

E-Learning environments are enhancing both their functionalities and the quality of the resources provided, thus simplifying the creation of learning ecologies adapted for students with disabilities. The number of students with disabilities enrolled in online courses is so small, and their impairments are so specific that it becomes difficult to quantify and identify which specific actions should be taken to support them. This work contributes to scientific literature with two key aspects: 1) It identifies which barriers these students encounter, and which tools they use to create learning ecologies adapted to their impairments; 2) It also presents the results from a case study in which 161 students with recognised disabilities evaluate the efficiency and ease of use of an online learning environment in higher education studies. The work presented in this paper highlights the need to provide multimedia elements with subtitles, text transcriptions, and the option to be downloadable and editable so that the student can adapt them to their needs and learning style.

Abstract The concept of universal accessibility is fully recognized in the field of building. However, in rare cases, the added value of an organization, the "Universal Accessibility Certificate" and the implementation of a "Accessibility Management System", as a document that certifies that the built environment and the services of the users are accessible to all. The objective of this article is to define the concept and to know the parameters involved in the process of "Certification of Accessibility in the Built Environment", as well as the procedure applied for the implementation of an "Accessibility Management System" in the edification. It is an essential tool that guarantees the use by all people of a building or environment, in a safe and autonomous way, including in a special way the people with functional diversity. It implies merging the terms of accessibility and diversity, so that written rights, recognized for people with disabilities, are actually fulfilled, guaranteeing their use in equal conditions and in a dignified manner by all users. It also analyzes the implementation regulations, both nationally and internationally, of application in the different phases of certification and the implementation of accessibility management in building. It is intended to incorporate the Universal Accessibility Certification criterion, which entails the incorporation of an Accessibility Management System, as an innovative and dynamic concept in the built environment, which ensures the inclusion of All people and especially people With different capacities. Resumen El concepto de accesibilidad universal en el ámbito de la edificación está plenamente reconocido, sin embargo, en pocas ocasiones, se conoce y se reconoce el valor añadido que supone para una organización, disponer del “Certificado de Accesibilidad Universal” y la implantación de un “Sistema de Gestión de la Accesibilidad”, como documento que garantiza que el entorno construido y los servicios de los usuarios son accesibles para Todos. El objetivo de éste artículo es definir el concepto de “Certificación de Accesibilidad” aplicado a la edificación, conocer los parámetros que intervienen en el proceso, así como el procedimiento aplicado para la “Certificación de la Accesibilidad en el Entorno Construido” y la implantación de un “Sistema de Gestión de la Accesibilidad”. Debe constar que se trata de una herramienta esencial para asegurar que el edificio o entorno edificado o rehabilitado reúne las condiciones requeridas para el uso por todas las personas, de modo seguro y autónomo, incluidas de forma especial las personas con diversidad funcional. Implica fusionar los términos de accesibilidad y diversidad, de manera que los derechos reconocidos para las personas con discapacidad, se cumplen en la realidad, garantizando su uso en igualdad de condiciones y de forma digna por todos los usuarios. Del mismo modo se analiza la normativa, tanto de ámbito nacional como internacional, de aplicación en las distintas fases de la certificación y de la implantación del Sistema de la Gestión de la Accesibilidad en la edificación. Se pretende incorporar el criterio de Certificación de la Accesibilidad Universal, que conlleva la incorporación de un Sistema de Gestión de la Accesibilidad, como concepto innovador y dinamizador en el entorno construido, que asegura la inclusión de Todas las personas y de forma especial de las personas con capacidades diferentes.

There has been an increase in the numbers of disabled persons. The effects of this segment has led to special concern in relation to the tourism sector. The fundamental reason justifying the importance of this niche of the market is its trend towards rapid growth. There is a significant market in our country where access to leisure facilities is required and this, doubtless, should be suitably put together for that end. Accessible tourism currently constitutes part of the route charted out by public and private organizations. However, and given the characteristics that tourism activity has, it is needed for all the parties involved to participate actively. This makes it possible for tourism in Chile to develop in this country with an inclusive nature and with suitable interventions that belong and should be carried out. So it is of especial relevance for all sectors to encourage accessible tourism, as the first requirement of a disabled person when going out to travel is to be sure that he/she will be able to access physical surroundings adapted to his/her needs. The bibliography examined and the interviews with users of tourism services have made it possible to obtain information and to make contrasts, providing as a result a first approach towards information that makes clear the progress and the shortfalls or deficiencies that users of inclusive services identify.
