This publication is the Short Papers Collection for the AAATE 2025 Conference, “Technology for Inclusion and Participation This document by the Scientific and Technical Chamber of Cyprus (ETEK) outlines a standardized methodology for the visual inspection of buildings, supporting safer and more inclusive built environments.
While primarily focused on structural safety, the approach also contributes to accessibility by identifying visible barriers, deterioration, and environmental risks that may affect the safe use of buildings by all users, including persons with disabilities.
The methodology introduces structured inspection forms and procedures that enable professionals to systematically assess building conditions, including access points, circulation areas, and functional elements. By promoting early detection of issues and prioritisation of interventions, it supports timely improvements that enhance usability and accessibility.
As a scalable and practical tool, this approach encourages regular monitoring and informed decision-making, contributing to more accessible, safe, and resilient infrastructure in line with inclusive design principles.
