The accessible information on the internet – a obstacle away : An overview of Swedish municipalities’’ digital accessibility regarding their websites on violence in close relationships (English)
Abstract [sv]

Avsaknaden av digital tillgänglighet i en alltmer digitaliserad värld bidrar till en exkludering av personer med olika funktionsnedsättningar, trots att dessa människor skulle kunna dra stor nytta av internet. Sveriges kommuner är skyldiga att erbjuda digitalt tillgängliga hemsidor enligt Lagen (2018:1937) om tillgänglighet till digital offentlig service. Syftet med denna studie var att kartlägga kommunernas digitala tillgänglighet rörande deras webbsidor om våld i nära relationer. Studien var av deskriptiv karaktär med en kvantitativ strategi. Begreppet digital tillgänglighet operationaliserades till 23 indikatorer som fick utgöra det granskningsprotokoll som webbsidorna sedan granskades efter. Resultatet visade att ingen av Sveriges kommuner uppmätte full digital tillgänglighet. Vidare visade resultatet att kommunerna i regel var bättre på digital tillgänglighet för motorik och synnedsättningar, än för hörselnedsättning. Utöver det var kommunerna bättre på att uppfylla lagkrav än andra aspekter av digital tillgänglighet. Den digitala tillgängligheten tycktes inte ha något samband med kommunens befolkningsmängd.

Abstract [en]

The lack of web accessibility risks excluding people with different disabilities. Sweden's municipalities are legally obliged to offer digitally accessible websites. The purpose of this study was to examine the municipalities' web accessibility regarding their websites about intimate partner violence. The study was descriptive in nature with a quantitative strategy. The concept of web accessibility was operationalized into 23 indicators which constituted the protocol according to which the web pages were then reviewed. The results showed that none of Sweden's municipalities measured full web accessibility. Furthermore, the results showed that the municipalities were generally better at fulfilling web accessibility for some impairments, such as vision, than others. The municipalities were also better at meeting legal requirements than other aspects of web accessibility. The web accessibility did not seem to have anything to do with the municipality's population.
