Accessibility of public websites for individuals with various forms of disabilities is a key issue in the digital society. Despite legal regulations in Slovenia, there are still many public websites that are not accessible to certain groups of people. This leads to discriminatory and unequal access to information, which contradicts the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia. It is crucial that inspections are carried out to monitor the accessibility of public websites, preventing violations of legal provisions and ensuring equal inclusion of all citizens in society. It is an administrative procedure that requires a systematic review of the website in accordance with established laws and standards.
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the key factors contributing to the widespread inaccessibility of public websites in Slovenia, as well as the measures being implemented to address this issue.
The thesis utilizes a normative method for sections describing legal provisions, a comparative method for researching the differences in inspections conducted in 2022 and 2023, a descriptive method for defining concepts, and an analytical method where I analyzed data from completed inspection reviews.
In the diploma thesis, it was found that both the number of inspections performed and the complexity of the implementation are increasing. Additionally, the level of awareness among individuals increased between the two studied years. It was noted that the number of issued orders has not increased, indicating the inspectorate's effectiveness in preventive actions.
The findings in this thesis will contribute to a better understanding of the issue of public website accessibility. The research provides a basis for further studies that will enhance the accessibility of public websites.
