可访问性已成为促进信息社会包容的一个非常重要的问题，参与网络开发项目的人们在开发更具包容性网络方面发挥了非常重要的作用。在本文中，我们提出了有关巴西网络开发人员的可及性意识的调查。我们通过对基于Web的问卷进行探索性调查进行了研究，并与学院，行业和政府的受试者进行了样本。该研究有613个有效的答案，并参与了来自巴西27个州的代表。结果表明，可访问性在巴西的Web开发项目中实际上还没有考虑，因为只有19.9％的参与者表示在其项目中考虑了可访问性。缺乏有关可访问性的教育以及巴西可访问性法律的差异是要解决的重要问题，以提高参与网络开发人员的更强可访问性意识。
Accessibility has become a very important issue to promote inclusion in the Information Society, and people involved in Web development projects have a very important role to contribute with the development of a more inclusive Web. In this paper, we propose an investigation on the accessibility awareness of people involved in Web development in Brazil. We have conducted the research by means of an exploratory survey with a Web based questionnaire and a sample with subjects from academy, industry and government. The study had 613 valid answers and involved representatives from all of the 27 states of Brazil. The results show that accessibility is still far from being actually considered in Web development projects in Brazil, as only 19.9% of the participants have stated that accessibility is considered in their projects. The lack of education on accessibility, as well as the poor spread of the Brazilian accessibility law are important issues to be dealt with to boost a stronger accessibility awareness among people involved in Web development.
