Analyze the problems in the process of implementing Barrier-free certification

The barrier-free living environment will continue to expand in the future to increase the elderly population and realize welfare. Since 2015, BF certification is mandatory for public buildings ordered by national and local governments, and a living environment free of obstacles has been realized in earnest. However, the problems presented in the actual BF certification process suggest that a lot of system improvement is necessary. First of all, the BF certification system itself is not established in detailed regulations, etc., and the level of recognition is low for related stakeholders. In addition, despite the preliminary certification procedure before the main certification after completion of construction, the additional operation cost burden occurs as it is operated formally. In the future, it is necessary to improve these practical issues.
