Kazakhstanis with disabilities can now check building accessibility through an interactive online map, Orda.kz reports.
The map shows whether a facility is suitable for people with different types of disabilities and allows users to plan visits in advance.
Facilities on the accessibility map of the Social Protection of Persons with Disabilities portal can be searched by region, district, name, or address. Users can also check whether a site is accessible for people with visual, hearing, or musculoskeletal impairments, as well as wheelchair users.
The portal was developed by the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection. Its goal is to make information about accessibility more open and convenient for citizens.
Data on the map is entered and updated by local executive bodies. Facilities are assessed according to six criteria: entrance accessibility, movement routes, service areas, sanitary facilities, information and communication systems, and the surrounding territory.
After assessment, each facility receives one of four statuses: accessible, partially accessible, inaccessible, or no information.
Registered users can assess the quality of adaptation, leave comments, and upload photos. This is intended to strengthen public control and help identify problems faster.
The portal also has a separate search for sanatoriums. The map currently includes information on 168 sanatorium and resort organizations. Of these, 114, or 67%, are providers on the Social Services Portal.
Owners and balance holders of facilities can also complete an online self-assessment questionnaire. After it is filled out, the system provides recommendations on what needs to be fixed for the building to meet accessibility requirements.
In total, 42,897 facilities are included on the interactive map. By the end of 2026, authorities plan to make 34,318 of them accessible. According to local executive bodies, as of June 15, 30,571 facilities had been fully adapted — about 71% of all sites on the map.
