Urban Accessibility Application for Users with Mobility Impairments: Conceptual Model Based on Social Networking and Volunteered Geographic Information

Information and communication technology has a significant potential of improving the quality of life in urban environments. Smart cities as a concept try to implement various solutions that make urban environments more efficient, easier to maintain and more enjoyable for their citizens. In this paper we will propose a solution that is consistent with the primary goal of smart cities and aims to improve the quality of life of individuals with disability in mobility within the urban environment, specifically Zagreb city area. Proposed solution is based on currently implemented technologies that are already widely used in different application areas. Solution takes advantage of social networking technologies and assistive technologies. After a brief overview of the proposed mobile application system we will present results of the survey conducted among potential users of the application. This information will be used to determine the usefulness, user interest and feasibility of developing the proposed system.
