Abstract:

  This study aims to identify accessibility problems in public facilities and public spaces for people with disabilities. This research is a systematic literature review through research articles and journals related to accessibility topics. The results of the literature review indicate that most of the infrastructure of the facilities and public areas that are available are not in accordance with the standards. Among these are ramp infrastructure that is too steep, relatively small access width, too high sidewalks, unavailability of special toilets and parking lots, and lack of visual or audio information. The right solution for accessibility problems is not only rearranging various infrastructures, but also needs to be supported by accessibility information to stakeholders and society so that synergic partnerships can be formed.
