Core Viewpoint - The construction of accessible facilities is crucial for ensuring that individuals with disabilities and the elderly can fully participate in society, highlighting the need for not only coverage but also usability, satisfaction, and effective management of these facilities [1][2][3]. Group 1: Legislative and Social Context - The implementation of the Accessibility Environment Construction Law in September 2023 marks a significant step in ensuring equal access for disabled individuals and the elderly, although challenges remain in its execution and quality assessment [2]. - China has the largest number of disabled individuals in the world, approximately 85 million, affecting around 260 million family members, emphasizing the societal responsibility to provide adequate accessible facilities [2]. - By the end of 2024, the elderly population aged 60 and above is projected to reach 310.31 million, accounting for 22.0% of the total population, indicating a growing need for accessible infrastructure as the population ages [2]. Group 2: Current Issues and Challenges - Despite improvements in the coverage of accessible facilities, many remain unusable or obstructed, with reports of physical barriers such as chains and stones blocking access to ramps in public spaces [3]. - The phenomenon of "building but not using" accessible facilities reflects a lack of management and accountability, with cities competing in their governance capabilities based on the usability of these facilities [3]. - The common justification for blocking access, such as preventing electric bicycles from entering, reveals a deeper issue of management inertia and negligence, highlighting the need for accountability in ensuring accessible passage [3]. Group 3: Social Engagement and Awareness - The growing public discourse around the inadequacies of accessible facilities serves as a catalyst for social change, encouraging more individuals to participate in identifying and addressing these issues [4]. - The treatment of vulnerable groups, including those with disabilities, is a reflection of societal civilization, and increased awareness and reporting can mobilize collective efforts for improvement [4].
