INCHEON GOALS AND
TARGETS
The Incheon Strateg y is
composed of 10 interrelated
goals, 27 targets and 62
indicators.
The time frame for achieving
the goals and targets is the
Asian and Pacific Decade of
Persons with Disabilities, 2013
to 2022.
The 10 Goals describe the
desired end results. Targets are
aimed to be achieved within a
given time frame. Indicators
measure progress towards
the targets and verify that the
targets have been achieved.
There are two types of
indicators: core indicators and
supplementary indicators.
Among the 10 goals, the
goals related to accessibility and
build environment are:
GOAL 3 - Enhance access to
the physical environment,
public transportation,
knowledge, information and
communication
Ac c e s s to t h e p hy si c al
environment,
public
transpor tation, knowledge,
information and communication
is a precondition for persons
with disabilities to fulfil their
rights in an inclusive society.
The accessibility of urban,
rural and remote areas based
on universal design increases
safety and ease of use not only
INCHEON STRATEGY GOAL
3
Enhance access to the
physical environment,
public transportation,
knowledge, information
and communication
for persons with disabilities,
but also for all other members
of society. Access audits are an
important means of ensuring
accessibility and must cover
all stages of the process of
planning, design, construction,
maintenance and monitoring
and evaluation. Access to
assistive devices and related
support services is also a
precondition for persons with
disabilities to optimize their level
of independence in daily life and
live in dignity.
Ensuring the availability
of assistive devices for those
living in low resource settings
involves encouraging research,
development, pro duc tion,
distribution and maintenance.
Target 3.A
Increase the accessibility of
the physical environment in the
national capital that is open to
the public.
Target 3.B
Enhance the accessibility and
usability of public transportation.
Target 3.C
Enhance the accessibility and
usability of information and
communications services.
Target 3.D
Halve the proportion of persons
with disabilities who need but do
not have appropriate assistive
devices or products.
