Making Barriers Visible: Structured and Detailed Location Descriptions for Event Accessibility

Event accessibility information is often incomplete, generic, or difficult to interpret, limiting disabled people’s ability to assess participation opportunities. We combined qualitative interviews (𝑁 = 12), a comparative analysis of accessibility checklists (𝑁 = 13), iterative prototype design, and an in-the-field summative evaluation (𝑁 = 2). The resulting role-based platform integrates multiple accessibility checklists, enables organizers to document detailed information about venues and transport, and presents it to visitors in a structured, visual, and context-sensitive format that supports independent decision-making.
