“…the composition of the research team, and how disabled people contribute to the research process. It will be important therefore to research the processes that might enable these changes, building on the relatively few examples that currently exist such as the ARCHES Horizon 2020 project (Garcia Carrizosa et al, 2019).…”

Purpose This paper aims to report the findings of a systematized literature review focusing on participatory research and accessibly in the context of assistive technologies, developed for use within museums by people with sensory impairments or a learning disability. The extent and nature of participatory research that occurs within the creation of technologies to facilitate accessible museum experiences is uncertain, and this is therefore a focus of this paper. Design/methodology/approach This paper is a systematized literature review and subsequent thematic analysis. Findings A screening of 294 research papers produced 8 papers for analysis in detail. A thematic analysis identified that the concept of accessibly has nuanced meanings, underpinned by social values; the attractiveness of a technology is important in supporting real-life usability; and that the conceptualization of participation should extend beyond the end users. Social implications The argument is made that increasing the participation of people with sensory impairments and learning disabilities in the research process will benefit the design of technologies that facilitate accessibility for these groups. Originality/value An original notion of participation has emerged from this review. It includes the participation and goals of disabled people but has expanded the concept to encompass museum personnel and indeed the physical and social spaces of the museums and heritage sites themselves. This constructs a broad of participation, with different aspects being reflected across the review’s research papers.

“…The front-end is a web page on which data can be checked, edited and viewed, while the back-end is where all the logic is installed on the server, which carries out all the data management (Figure 5). Once installed on a server, it is an integrated computer system that allows for a geoportal with an interactive web viewer [11]. Geoportals are considered to be the best tool for publishing spatial information as they make it accessible to non-GIS experts [12][13][14].…”

Since ancient times, human beings have been interested in knowing their environment in order to make the right decisions in territorial management. The spatial component is a feature of great importance in the assets that surround us. Heritage geoinformation is a convenient and effective way for management, protection and safeguarding of cultural and natural heritage. For optimal compliance, it is nowadays indispensable to rely on the use of new web technologies and geomatics knowledge that allow the documentation, visualisation, monitoring and management of heritage. Therefore, the main objective of this article is to develop a web-based cultural heritage management system in Cantón Nabón, Ecuador, as a case study. The system, consisting of a web-based geoportal accessible to the whole society, will allow consulting the geolocalised heritage information of the study area on a virtual map, as well as 3D geovisualisation in an interactive web viewer. The integrated system, once implemented, will take into consideration the preventive conservation cycle in the heritage field, highlighting, in Spanish, the creation of the heritage data models according to ISO21127:2014.

“…ARCHES adopted the social model in terms of its language and its understanding of disability (Garcia Carrizosa, H., Diaz, J., et al, 2019a). The participatory research project comes under the broad umbrella of emancipatory disability research (Walmsley & Johnson, 2003).…”

“…It was through the development of various activities by various participants, involving conversations on different access needs that participants started to learn the similarities in access needs and preferences that everyone had. The educators also appreciated the value this approach brought to their practices and new creative activities were developed to explore this (Garcia Carrizosa et al, 2019a). Participants understood through these activities that the research was not just single-folded and that it had other credible and meaningful sides to it.…”

The following paper is based on the experiences gathered during the European participatory research project ARCHES (Accessible Resources for Cultural Heritage EcyoSystems). The project was 3-years long during which participants with different access needs associated with communication, perception, memory and cognition designed and developed museum and technological resources. This paper will share the evaluation framework by which we evaluated the process of working together. It will also highlight the key lessons learned from the collaboration with participants, technology and museum partners related to: The need to be open to change The need to be patient and manage time flexibly The need to disseminate the project from the beginning of the project
