BMAPS: Innovative Information Accessibility Guide

BMAPS is a revolutionary map app that enables users to input and share barrier-free information, making places accessible for everyone. It aims to provide detailed information on facilities, such as steps at the entrance, wheelchair accessibility, parking, elevators, restrooms, and more. Through BMAPS, individuals with disabilities, seniors, and parents can easily find accessible locations and services. The app strives to break down societal barriers by highlighting inclusive practices and organizations. Its future plans include expanding to more areas and languages by the Tokyo 2020 Games, with a target of one million entries. BMAPS also emphasizes partnerships with government, public, and private sectors to improve accessibility worldwide.
