The Municipal Council of Águeda is among the local authorities that were distinguished with the Usability and Accessibility Seal. This distinction recognizes the efforts of municipal councils in promoting the accessibility and usability of their services and public spaces.
The conclusions supporting this attribution are contained in a study recently published by the company Demarca Design. This company, specialized in design and accessibility, is based in Covilhã and dedicated to the evaluation and promotion of usability in public and private organizations.
The Usability and Accessibility Seal aims to distinguish entities that demonstrate commitment to inclusion and accessibility, ensuring that their services can be used by all citizens, including people with special needs.
This recognition comes in the context of a broader movement in Portugal to promote inclusion and accessibility in public services, encouraging local authorities to adopt practices that benefit the entire population.
