ABSTRACT
Mobile applications and well-implemented technology can help governments increase the efficiency and effectiveness of information analysis and exchange. This paper presents a case study on the implementation of a mobile application to record accessibility information in the commercial buildings of Terrassa. To record and analyze the accessibility of the commercial buildings a taxonomy including general information and accessibility data was created. The analysis results confirmed the only 1% of the recorded commercial buildings fulfilled all accessible parameters. The main problems were in the access steps or ramps and also in the interior furniture. This data can then be implemented in other applications to be used by people with disabilities. Results also demonstrate that mobile and well-implemented technology can help governments save money and be more efficient. The use of this application simplified and reduced the time needed to record accessibility information while the standardized information helped them obtaining consistent data.
