RESUMEN
UNCRD [1] has reemphasized the relevance of barrier free accessibility to infrastructures. Article 9 deals with accessibility of the manmade environment including buildings. Although accessibility has been required by people with disabilities for decades the existing built infrastructure often lacks adequate accessibility. If at all, it addresses requirements for users of wheelchairs but not for users with sensory or cognitive challenges. In this paper the development of a survey and publication of data from buildings is reported. The methodology is based on user participation and inclusion and follows a civil society approach, embedded in the overall strategy for inclusion in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany). The internet portal presenting the information to the public is a first step to improve accessibility. An award on this data basis is proposed as incentive.
