Why Disability?
The number of disabilities in Indonesia in 2010 showed that the disability was more than 10 years old for visual disabilities with 5,820,000 people, 5,724,000 hearing disabilities and 3,048,000 physical disabilities (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, 2014). Around the world, including in Indonesia, the need for support for disability has not yet been met, one of which is physical accessibility facilities. In providing information on the location of friendly, disabled facilities, information technology has an important role to play in facilitating and providing information quickly regarding the location distribution of disability-friendly facilities. The technology that can be used to compile the location of disabled-friendly facilities is by utilizing the Geographic Information System (GIS). Access to information these locations can be integrated into a WebGIS platform system "Accessibility for Disability" which provides information about locations that are accessible for persons with disabilities. This platform can also function as a campaign to encourage and increased awareness about disability.
