“…In adiditon, from the information gained from international conferences, researchers and various bodies, there has been emphasis on ICT accessibility for VI people, such as making friendlier websites (Fuglerud, 2011;Wanniarachchi & Jayathilake, 2012), which has highlighted the need for a greater development responsibility for web content providers.…”

T echnological advancement in general is providing better and cheaper solutions to assist the visually impaired (VI) community. Although information communication technology (ICT) has great potential to support the inclusion of VI people in educational, social and workforce settings, there are far fewer ICT projects for VI people compared to other projects. This systematic literature review provides our findings on the existing state of ICT projects and describes outstanding issues in ICT support of VI people. Based on our findings, we suggest increased collaboration among healthcare professionals, caregivers, programmers, engineers, as well as policy makers; and adoption of policies in future ICT projects for VI people. A wide search of seven journal databases found a relevant cross-section of articles that were published between 2010 and 2015. Software Zotero Standalone and EndNote were used to screen and maintain metadata. After the initial screening of 6993 titles, 683 abstracts were scrutinised, from which 55 full text articles were selected for final review. We analysed and synthesised 37 articles. Our findings show the progress, awareness, interest, and issues in ICT integration to improve the quality of life for VI people. Three emergent topics for VI people are (a) assistive technology, (b) e-accessibility, and (c) virtual interfaces. Our findings suggest that ICT-aided applications can bring positive changes for VI people. We advance several issues that should be addressed and further developed, collaboratively, to spread awareness and invoke new policies aimed to improve the quality of life of VI people. Keywords: information communication technology (ICT), visually impaired (VI) people, systematic literature review, thematic analysisAccording to the most recent survey by the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of visually impaired (VI) people in the world is 285 million, where approximately 39 million people are blind (Mariotti, 2012). Visual impairment includes both low vision and blindness (WHO, 2007). The majority of people with visual impairment (about 90%) live in developing countries and about 65% are aged 50 or above (Mothiravally, Ang, Baloch, Kulampallil, & Geetha, 2014). Only 14% to 20% of people in developed countries suffer from disabilities in general, and these people have greater opportunities to take advantage of ICT-aided tools (Hogan, Kyaw-Myint, Harris, & Denronden, 2012). Numerous studies have been conducted focusing on people with disabilities from a sociological point of view. McAnaney and Williams (2010) suggest using action research methods for disability management. Hogan et al. (2012) contend that people with disabilities face significant inequity of remuneration, globally, due to the perception of a lack of skills and employment accommodations for particular roles. Niehaus and Marfels (2010) identify the key competencies of disabled people by using factor analysis and investigate the scope of their integration into the workforce and mainstream society. However, ther...

Framework merupakan sebuah kerangka kerja yang dibuat untuk memudahkan kinerja dalam pembangunan sebuah web. Dengan framework, sistem web yang dibangun akan menjadi lebih tersusun dan terstruktur rapi. Sekarang ini banyak framework yang dikembangkan dalam membangun sebuah web. Paper ini menyediakan sebuah tinjauan literatur sistematis dari berbagai penelitian yang telah membahas tentang pengaruh framework khusus dalam pengembangan dan pembuatan web. Penelitian ini menggunakan 2 (dua) digital library, yaitu Science Direct dan IEEE Xplore serta melakukan penyaringan untuk mendapatkan publikasi artikel ilmiah mulai 2010 sampai 2018 yang membahas tentang pengaruh penggunaan framework khusus terhadap pengembangan dan pembuatan web. Artikel ilmiah yang terpilih kemudian dianalisis sesuai dengan research question yang dibuat. Hasilnya, penelitian ini menggolongkan beberapa artikel berdasar area pengembangan dan peningkatan yang dihasilkan, dimana kebanyakan artikel berfokus pada pemberian rekomendasi dalam pengembangan web dengan pemilihan framework dan framework yang dipakai untuk proses testing.

“…Using the web is one of the daily activities affected by loss of vision. More importantly, the obvious tendency of websites to use visual content makes visually-impaired users one of the groups that could be impacted, thus these users must be distinguished when it comes to web accessibility (Harper et al, 2001;Babu et al, 2010;Al-Khalifa, 2012;Wanniarachchi & Jayathilake, 2012). Moreover, the number of visually impaired people will continue to increase; making visual impairment one of the most challenging disabilities to address (Kim et al, 2013).…”

Researchers have discovered significant faults in the accessibility of university websites, especially for visually-impaired users. To determine the requirements for totally blind users, this study conducted a comprehensive literature review and accessibility evaluation on 15 Palestinian university websites. The determined factors were used in designing an accessible web page prototype. An online questionnaire was constructed to evaluate the accessibility of the prototype from the blind users' perspective. From the evaluation of 16 blind participants, it was found that the prototype was highly accessible (mean score 4.19). The regression analysis test was utilised to determine the relationship between the items and the main principles of accessibility. The results show that there are statistically significant differences between these items. In conclusion, the accessibility factors have been indirectly validated.
