Accessibility of the service

The Ministry of the Environment has assessed the accessibility of the website together with the system supplier.

The Kestavakaupunki.fi website meets the Level A and AA success criteria required by the Act in certain respects (WCAG 2.1). The key shortcomings in the accessibility of the online service are described below

Shortcomings in the accessibility of the website

The following content elements do not meet the accessibility requirements:

Shortcomings in text alternatives for images and diagrams

The content pages have some images for which no descriptive text alternatives have been defined or the text alternatives do not describe the content of the images correctly. Detailed text alternatives have erroneously been provided for some purely decorative images. (WCAG 1.1.1, 1.4.5)

Accessibility issues in PDF documents

There are shortcomings in the accessibility of PDF documents published by the Government after 23 September 2018 contained in the website.

  • The documents may have visual elements and diagrams for which no descriptive text alternatives have been defined. (WCAG 1.1.1)
  • The PDF documents may have layout issues that hamper screen reader use, such as unnecessary line breaks and headings with no heading levels. (WCAG 1.3.1)
  • The table structures in PDF documents may have deficiencies that hamper screen reader use, e.g. table structures have been used for text layout purposes or programmatic column headings are missing. Similar data may also have been divided into several tables. (WCAG 1.3.1)
  • The documents may have footnotes with no links to the texts, which makes it difficult to interpret them when using a screen reader. (WCAG 1.3.1)
  • There may be shortcomings in file metadata, such as missing titles or incorrect language specifications and author information

Broken links

The website contains broken links. These will be repaired in connection with other updates.

Shortcomings in the naming of links
