Public and Commercial Attitudes to Disability in the Built Environment
Get PDFThe Equality Act 2010 and London Paralympics in 2012 have been instrumental
in raising public awareness of disability in the UK. With 1 in 5 people classed as
disabled there is a likelihood that most, if not all of us will be directly or indirectly
engaged with this in our lives.
Disability is not something that occurs every 4 years but is an everyday issue
affecting millions of people. There appears to be a disconnect between general
public attitudes towards disability and those actually encountering access barriers,
due to a lack of inclusivity during their normal day to day activities.
The key organisations who can make a tangible difference to inclusivity in the Built
Environment are service providers, property owners, investors and advisors.This
research concerns public and commercial attitudes to accessibility, seeking to
establish any alignment with current public perception and to look into the barriers
to inclusivity that exist within the built environment

Transcripts and Accessibility: Student Views from Using Webinars in Built Environment Education
No full textTranscripts and captions make videos more accessible to everyone. However, the time and resources required for manual transcription are a known barrier in creating accessible videos. This paper presents a small study where students (283) and tutors (27) reported their views on automatic transcriptions for recorded webinar videos. Despite not having perfect transcription accuracy, many students who have used the automatic transcripts found them to be useful. Students were also asked how they used transcripts and this included: to find specific information in a video, as a learning aid, as an accessibility aid, to compensate for the speaker’s accent and pace, to study on the go, to compensate for poor audio and/or connectivity and as an aid for non-native English speakers
