Disabilities (PwDs) in gaining access to the built
environment, is Accessibility and equal participation in
the society, is discrimination. It was a remarkable legal
instrument for PwDs in Asian countries when UNCRPD
responded in being concern that the existing human
rights instruments have not given significant impact on
the improvement of PwDs’ quality of life. Accessibility
legislation between Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and
Japan has different success rate when it comes to
implementing and enforcing Universal Design via
legislative and regulatory documents, government
initiatives and planning approach. The success rate of
implementation for Accessibility, are different from
developed and developing countries even within Asian
regions despite the movement started around the same
time. The results are derived from content analysis of
reviews chronologically and thematically at all four
countries. Therefore, a brief discussion elaborated by
comparing those countries of developed and developing
and to conclude, signifying causes of success or the
setbacks of implementation efforts. |
