Abstract

The study was to improve the right to the enjoyment of culture of persons with visual impairment by increasing the accessibility to art exhibitions and exploring assistive measures through needs assessment survey of persons with visual impairment on arts exhibition. We used total 83 responses collected through an online survey. The result are as follows. First, watching movies at a teather was the most frequent leisure activity among persons with visual impairment, while respondents reported attending art exhibitions as the least frequent activity. Yet, 71.1% included attending art exhibitions as one of their top 5 culture and leisure activities. Most of the respondents reported the purpose of attending art exhibitions as fun. However, a primarily visual atmosphere prevented them from visiting the exhibition. Second, persons with visual impairment preferred approaching the art to have a closer look. More than about 50% of the respondents used their residual vision. Most of the respondents reported to use more than two senses when appreciating the exhibits. Moreover, respondents reported that devices/services for multi-sensory experiences would be helpful to appreciate the art. The findings imply that the consideration of the characteristics and needs of persons with visual impairment is required for establishing the environment of art exhibitions. This could further contribute to the improvement of the right to the enjoyment of leisure and culture of persons with visual impairment and lead to the realization of social integration.

본 연구는 시각장애인의 전시예술품 관람 실태 및 욕구조사를 통해 전시예술품 방문관람 접근성을 높이고 지원방안을 모색하여 시각장애인들의 문화예술을 향유할 권리를 향상시키는 데 그 목적이 있다. 시각장애인을 대상으로 온라인 설문지를 사용하여 연구참여자를 모집하였으며, 총 83명의 응답이 최종 분석에 사용되었다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 시각장애인의 문화생활 이용 실태는 영화감상이 가장 주된 반면 전시예술품감상은 최하위였다. 단, 주된 문화생활 다섯 가지를 선택해 달라는 질문에 71.1%의 응답에 전시예술품 감상이 포함되었다. 전시예술품 관람 목적은 재미추구가 가장 높게 나타났다. 전시예술품 관람을 하지 않는 이유로는 시각위주의 관람문화를 가장 많이 표시하였다. 둘째, 시각장애인들이 선호하는 전시예술품 감상 방법으로는 눈을 작품 가까이에 대고 감상하는 것으로 나타났으며 절반 이상의 응답자는 잔존시각을 활용한다고 보고했다. 작품 감상 시 시각을 가장 많이 사용하지만 응답자 대부분이 다중 감각을 사용한다고 보고하였다. 또한 다양한 감각을 활용하여 작품을 감상을 할 수 있는 보조기기/서비스가 있다면 감상에 도움이 될 것이라고 보고하였다. 본 연구 결과는 시각장애인의 특성을 고려하여 전시예술품 관람에 있어 환경적 변화가 요구됨을 시사한다. 이를 통해 궁극적으로 문화예술향유권 실현하고 통합사회를 구현하는 데 기여할 것으로 기대한다.
