Abstract

Disability groups are included in vulnerable groups who need special assistance to improve their quality of life. One of the most important things needed for persons with disabilities is the existence and ease of access to various sectors such as health and education. This study aims to see how the influence of the existence of disabilities on welfare and how the existence of access can improve the welfare of persons with disabilities in the region and in the surrounding area. Using the OLS regression model at the household and district/city levels, the result shows that to date people with disabilities are still a negative factor for welfare and the existence of access to health insurance, education and health facilities for disabilities can improve the welfare of their group. Meanwhile, the Spatial Autoregressive Model shows the existence of access to good health and education facilities in an area can improve the welfare of persons with disabilities in the surrounding area that is close to their home area. Whereas, the impact for other areas as a whole only applies to health facilities and access to health insurance.
