Development of Accessible Design in Malaysia

Abstract

Malaysia has been actively providing accessibility in the built environment since the country signed the ‘Proclamation on the Full Participation and Equality of People with Disabilities in the Asia-Pacific Region’ in 1994. However, Malaysia has limitations in enforcing legislation pertaining to accessibility. One of the concerns was the local authorities’ role in having their own mechanisms to create a Barrier Free built environment. The objective is to highlight the gaps in Malaysia's regulations and to illustrate the research development of the Accessible Design infrastructure for disabled people. The outcome will describe Malaysia's experience in Accessible Design.
