The Improvement Plan on the Airport's Convenient Facilities for the Disabled

In modern society the population of disabled goes on increasing rapidly not only in congenital deformities but also in acquired handicapped persons due to various factors such as car accidents and industrial disaster. And the number of disabled passengers in airports is growing every year with economic growth and globalization in Korea as well. That is the reason why the effort to the convenient facilities for the disabled in airports is needed more. The real situation in airports which are the public buildings is that the effort to install the facilities for the disabled is only perfunctory to meet the legal standard and cannot answer to the expectation of the facilities for the disabled. In this study I would like to give the airport operators the guide line to expand the facilities and the disabled an opportunity to use airports more freely and conveniently through the presentation on the problems and solutions with the current situation of the facilities for the disabled and the satisfaction of users in all airports in Korea.

공항 내 장애인 편의시설의 개선방안

현대사회는 선천적 장애인은 물론 교통사고 산업재해와 같은 다양한 요인에 의한 후천적 장애인이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 또한, 경제성장과 세계화에 의해 장애인의 공항이용률도 매년 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 때문에 공항을 이동하는 장애인을 위한 편의시설의 질적 양적인 확충이 더욱 요구되어 지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 공공시설물인 공항의 장애인편의시설에 대한 현황조사와 사용 실태조사 및 만족도 조사를 통해 전국공항의 장애인을 위한 시설개선과 공항이용자들의 만족도를 향상시키기 위한 방안을 모색하고자 한다.
