17. Accessibility design standards

- 발행년도: 2015년

- 발행처: City of Ottawa

- 주요내용: The City of Ottawa Accessibility Design Standards (ADS) were developed with recognition of the following:

1) Diversity: Encourages the inclusion and integration of diverse communities, appreciating differences, while promoting a common goal to make Ottawa a more accessible place to live, work and play for everyone;

2) Barrier Removal: Preventing and removing obstructions that create exclusion;

3) Provincial Directions: Accessibility standards in the areas of customer service, information and communication, employment, transportation and the built environment, developed under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) initiative; and

4) Changing Demographics: People with varying types of disabilities comprise a significant proportion of the population. The proportion of seniors within the Canadian population is also increasing rapidly and for some seniors, acquiring a disability may also increase with age. Currently, people with disabilities represent one in seven Ontarians. Due primarily to aging, one in every five Ontarians is expected to have a disability within 20 years
