British antidiscrimination legislation and wayfinding in buildings in Scotland

B. S. Robertson

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This article presents the results of a study of the impact of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995 on the provision of wayfinding aids in local authority buildings in Scotland. The study found that although the DDA has raised awareness in local authorities of the needs of disabled users of buildings, it has not necessarily led to the incorporation of wayfinding aids in new or refurbished buildings.
