Abstract

Physically handicapped people that are wheelchair users, still faces architectural obstacles due to lack of accessibility on urban placed buildings, causing unexpected nuisance on the daily routine. Intending to avoid those situations, a mobile application called Adapc was proposed, which provides information about a place's accessibility level for wheelchair users. Such information is obtained from the users, which through the proposed application, rate collaboratively the place accessibility level with rating criteria focused on the wheelchair users. The following work employed gamification on the Adapc application in a way to motivate the user on the collaborative ratings, and then to verify effectiveness of the gamification strategy applied, a research about the users perception while using the application was conducted. The obtained results proved that the gamification strategy, to promote the user's motivation on the collaborative ratings were in fact effective.
