An Overview of Web Accessibility Evaluation of Government Websites in China

Abstract

Web accessibility is one of the key factors in building the inclusive society. Government websites carry public information for the general mass and their accessibility is going to affect a large portion of the disabled population. In this article, we analyze the status quo of the accessibility of China government websites in 2014 by presenting the evaluation results for 32 provincial government websites. We expect to present new perspectives for China government’s efforts on web accessibility and its future works.
