ON INCLUSION, DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND ACCESSIBILITY IN CIVIL ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN. A REVIEW OF ASSESSMENT TOOLS.

Abstract Since the mid-20th century, assessing performance of built environment was recognized as an instrument to improve efficiency in design and construction processes. However, it appears difficult identify assessment tools that currently include a holistic inclusion, diversity, equity accessibility criteria for environments. A systematic literature review performed define state art domain civil engineering architectural design, gaps equity, accessibility. The highlighted three fundamental aspects. First, how binomial relationship between regulations is not mutually exclusive. Second, process buildings shifting towards mixed evaluation methods. Third, have been developed with perceivable evolutionary latency from when standards were released. With this work, we produced state-of-the-art overview about (IDEA) environment, inform development will foster future inclusive
