Abstract
The purpose of this paper investigates the status of web accessibility compliance of government websites in Korea. In order to look into the status of these, we used the “Annual web accessibility research” which was conducted by Korea Agency for Digital Opportunity and promotion (KADO) since 2005. Also, this paper introduces Korea web accessibility activities, such as relational laws, policies and guidelines. The result shows that compliance of web accessibility standards have increased by an annual, especially central government and provincial-level government.
