Inclusion Atlas is a user generated mobile and browser platform that allows users to find, rate and review venues based on their accessibility features, service standards and experiential quality, via a respectful and constructive space of dialogue. It seeks to ensure that anybody can comfortably access public spaces, no matter their physical ability or requirements.
Inclusion Atlas uses technology to empower diverse-ability groups, providing useful information regarding their participation in the physical environment and a mechanism through which venue managers are motivated to implement appropriate upgrades. Inclusion Atlas encourages members of the community, businesses, and venue owners to work together to ensure the highest quality of customer experience, accountability and reciprocal engagement is conducted.
Currently, people living with disability often struggle with physical access to a range of services, buildings, and transportation, with little information readily available regarding the standard of accessibility of these spaces. To combat this issue, Inclusion Atlas involves the user through voting and rating systems, uploading photos of venues and other voluntary micro-tasks. User-generated reviews and ratings are collected and collated into a database, wherein customers can explore local businesses, public spaces, infrastructure and greenspaces with the knowledge that their contributions and concerns have been recognised and accounted for.
