Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a concrete public sign block for floors that can provide pedestrian safety and various information. Method: In order to achieve these research objectives, step-by-step block manufacturing techniques applied in relation to the development of public sign blocks were proposed, and the field applicability of the developed concrete public sign blocks was evaluated. Result: The concrete public sign block for floors developed in this study is expected to be capable of expressing public signs of various shapes and to reduce manufacturing cost. As a result of the usability evaluation for two years, no problems such as cracks, edge dropouts, discoloration, and abrasion were found, so it is judged that sufficient durability was secured. Conclusion: Based on these research results, it is expected that the concrete public sign block will be used as an alternative to secure the weaknesses such as stickers, stone and brass plates that have been used in the existing public sign for floors. It is expected that it can be applied in various fields.

In this study, users of the display system designed for the conference hall were evaluated as an example of a temporary space marking system for vaccination at a COVID-19 vaccination center in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province.Unlike ordinary space, temporary space display systems organize space on a limited schedule, so it is necessary to properly place and communicate information about space and processes in the display design to users. Therefore, a paper description manual, a wall display panel, and a floor path tape were provided and deployed to users of the inoculation session. The results of user evaluations show that for specific users over 60 years of age, a file (information display system) that conveys the overall information about the space and process is effective for vaccination. This result is expected to serve as a reference to how and how the display system will be installed in a temporary space in the future.

The life expectancy of people has been steadily extended due to the improvement of living standards and the development of medical technology. Besides, the low birth rate and long life expectancy decrease the youth population while the elderly population is steadily increasing. Many elderly people have enough time and financial allowance, and the interest in health care is increased all over society. There are also increasing numbers of elderly people who exercise lightly in the playgrounds and parks such as running and walking. Outdoor fitness equipment that can be easily seen in neighbourhood parks, public spaces, etc. can be good health promotion tools that can be easily accessed in the daily life of the elderly. Outdoor fitness equipment Description Signs require a design that takes into account the declining vision of older users. Proper design is also important for the prevention of safety accidents in use. The purpose of this study is to find out the perception of the elderly about outdoor fitness exercise equipment sign system and to find the problem of recognition. To do this, we conduct user observation and interview surveys for the elderly. As a result, the emphasis of the caveat or problems with the size of the writing were pointed out, and it was necessary to explain the picture rather than the text. Also, there was a high demand for refraining from using foreign words, using universal words and including motor effects in signs. Based on the results of the user observation and interviews, we propose guidelines for the use of outdoor exercise equipment.

기술이 발전함에 따라 사람이 해야 했던 상당 부분을 기계가 대신하거나 보조하게 되면서 사람들은 편리해지고 안전해졌다. 그러나 한편으로는 자연적인 위험을 줄이고, 생활의 편이를 돕기 위해 만들어진 기술에 의해서 인위적인 위험이 생겨나고 이는 돌이킬 수 없는 신체의 장애를 초래하기도 하였다. 지체장애인의 약 70%가 선천성 장애가 아닌 후천적인 이유라는 사실이 이를 뒷받침 한다. 점차 자애인의 수는 증가하고 있으며, 장애인의 권익을 최대한 보호하고 그들이 장애를 겪지 않는 사람들과 동등한 혜택을 누리면서 살 수 있도록 하기 위해 각 단체에서 지속적인 관심을 갖고 개선하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 특히 장애인의 절반을 차지하는 지체장애인이 대중교통을 이용의 편의를 위한 이동에 관한 부분은 많이 개선되었으나 여러 부분에서 개선과 보완이 필요하며 정보디자인 부분도 예외는 아니다. 특정 정보를 필요로 하는 사용자가 그 정보를 정확하게 쉽게 찾아 이해할 수 있도록 하는 것은 실제 환경에서 사람들의 편의를 돕기 위해 존재하는 매체들을 충분히 활용하기 위해서도 매우 중요하다. 이 연구에서는 공공물 디자인에 많이 적용되고 있는 유니버설디자인 관점에서 지체징인들의 대중교통의 대표적인 수단의 하나인 지하철 이용 편의를 위한 정보 전달 시스템의 중심인 사인시스템의 현황을 분석하고 개선 방안에 대해 연구해 보았다.

The purpose of this research is to examine and find solutions with garbage problems in movie theaters for the betterment of pleasant environment to customers. The object of investigation includes three most popular movie theaters in Seoul. Analyzing current status of separating garbage and guidance notice was carried out. Also investigation of awareness on separating garbage and guidance notice has been done. The findings on inquiry are as follows. Customers tend not to separate garbage and guidance notice was not as effective. Also, separate garbage collection was very ineffective especially the food garbage. We carried out investigation on placement of guidance notice regarding recycling bin. We tried to find solutions for this problem and proposed better design. This design is emphasized on the use of particular space only. In addition, this design is focused mainly on one the three movie theaters for integration of identity. Through this design, it ought to provide clean environment and reduces inefficiencies regarding financial and time.

Considering the present outdoor environment of city landscapes, the improvement of well-formed street landscapes is a very important issue in Korea. At this point of time, it is very meaningful to understand the sign design and the planning condition of buildings and examine various problems about this and the possibilities for improvement. Thus the purpose of this study is to accumulate basic data to establish design guideline and visual factors for the sign design for useful environment. The conclusions of this study are as follows: to understand the factors of sign designs is through survey and analysis of building condition and city landscape. Planning factors for outdoor advertising design should be developed systematically and more fit to the street environment and designers in the aspect of control and guidance.

The study began in recent years with the aim of grasping the nation's medical status following the fast-growing trend of international medical tourism and attracting foreign patients, among other things, Busan, which ranks second in attracting foreign patients after the nation's capital, Seoul, has been highly active in the past eight years, with foreign patients rising by about 426 percent, and Russian patients entering the sea. In addition, Gimhae and Changwon, the Busan-based Gyeongsangnam-do region, ranked first and second in number of foreign residents, and are inhabited by a variety of foreign workers. Medical institutions, such as hospitals, should be able to find directions within hospitals. It is also a space where information in various languages, including Korean, English, Chinese, or Russian, must be delivered in a single medium. Based on this research, the purpose of this research is to provide converged information that helps foreigners who are not familiar with Korean language easily understand the proposed recognition system when visiting hospitals. Therefore, this paper is applied to a multi-language survey of six medical institutions (A, B, C, D, E, F) at the university hospital in Busan, and 10 medical institutions (R, J) in Gimhae, South Gyeongsang Province with high foreign residents. Research results and contents are as follows. First, the results of analyzing the design of the sinusoidal system show that the font uses colorless Gothic fonts, arrows, and pictograms to introduce the design of a typical hospital sign system. Second, the results of the multi-lingual situation were found to have only two languages in the system, such as Korean and English, and to have four languages, including Korean, English, Chinese, and Russian, according to their geographical location. However, it was judged that most medical institutions currently have only two languages (Korean, English) that may cause some discomfort in terms of language for foreign patients in non-English speaking countries. Based on these findings, it is necessary to propose designs that are considered by Koreans as well as foreign users in the use of multilingual hospital sign systems.
