Abstract

The age and physical condition of users who use public libraries are becoming diverse in recent years. The need for universal design is recognized as important to create a public library with a convenient and pleasant environment in consideration of various users. The purpose of this research is to propose the universal design application method after analyzing level of application of common spaces in public libraries. First, the environment related to 'Perceptable Information' with low level of universal design should be improved first. Second, it is important to apply it from the initial planning phase to create a more advanced universal design environment. Third, careful consideration and awareness of all users of the library should precede to engance 'Flexibility in Use' related environment.

오늘날의 공공도서관 이용 주체는 매우 다양화 되어가고 있으며, 다양한 연령 및 신체 조건의 이용자들을 고려하고 보다 편리하고, 쾌적한 환경을 갖춘 공공도서관을 만들기 위해 유니버설디자인의 필요성이 중요하게 인식되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 공공도서관의 공용공간을 유니버설디자인의 원칙을 기준으로 서울시에 위치한 공공도서관 33개소를 대상으로 한 실태조사를 통해 적용 수준을 분석하고 개선방향을 다음과 같이 제시한다. 첫째, 유니버설디자인의 적용수준이 낮은 '쉽게 인지할 수 있는 정보'와 관련한 환경을 우선적으로 개선하여야 할 것이다. 둘째, 보다 수준 높은 유니버설디자인 환경을 만들기 위해서는 설계단계부터 이를 적용하는 것이 중요하다. 셋째, '사용상의 융통성' 관련 환경은 국내의 법적인 규제에 적용되는 항목이 적어 환경 수준을 제고하기 어려운 측면이 있으므로 도서관을 이용하는 이용자 전체에 대한 세심한 배려와 인식이 선행되어야 할 것이다.
