Özet

The accessibility of the websites is important for the persons with disabilities. In this study the accessibility of the 67 municipal websites, 28 in Turkish Cypriots-controlled area and 39 in Greek Cypriots-controlled area of the Cyprus Island were evaluated. The online tools European Internet Inclusion Initiative (EIII) Page Checker and AChecker based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) were used for automated evaluation. The results of these tools showed that all surveyed websites have accessibility problems.
