Recently, geo-based application services such as location-based commerce or personal navigation are recognized as a kind of common tool on smart-phone, and demands with respect to advanced functions of online map editing linked to value-added contents are increasing. However, the disabled people have severe difficulties to equally use those geo-based services, compared to the normal people's uses. Of course, this situation is almost same to other application fields besides geo-based applications. Web accessibility basically means necessary guideline handling web-based contents for equal uses of web services for all people. W3C has developed and distributed a generalized web content accessibility guideline, and Korean web content accessibility guideline version 2.1 referred it. As well, there is a certificate system operated by public agencies. In spite of this situation, geo-based application field is globally on the very early stage for web accessibility. This work first summarized the concept of web accessibility and Korean guideline, and then presented some practical schemes for the further geo-based applications, focused on web visualization of geo-based contents among numerous implementable application services.

2008 Disability Discrimination Act was enacted, Web accessibility compliance has been carried out from April 11, 2013. Therefore, all of the institutions and corporations in 2015, must fulfill the compliance of Web accessibility. In this paper, research for Web accessibility of Geriatric Hospital, to raise the improvement. We have applied the K-WAH 4.4 as accessibility evaluation tool. The results were evaluated on the basis of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0, it was very low.

Due to increase of interest in web accessibility and recognition of its necessity, a variety of accessibility indicators and automatic assessment tools have been developed, but previous literature indicated various problems about these indicators and tools. Thus, this research proposes and verifies the assessment model for accessibility of a frame content by considering web standards which develop the same web page for every client environment.

In this paper, the web accessibility of institutions and organizations that are related to disaster response we evaluate analysis. Along with the legal enforcement of Web accessibility, It is because shall comply with web accessibility. we have applied the K-WAH4.4 as an evaluation tool for web accessibility compliance of actual conditions. Look at the degree of compliance with the six detailed procedure of the web site, we request to the improvement of Web accessibility. Based on the guidelines 2.0, looked to the insufficient compliance rate at 61.8%. Then, we propose the need for improvement to enhance Web accessibility.

In recent years, the efforts for standards of Web contents accessibility and improvements of Web accessibility are expanded in the government, public institutions, university, enterprises. Korean Web Accessibility Guidelines, KWCAG 2.0, by comparison with 1.0, was able to provide more define alternative text in terms of image content, enhance guidance for accessing and use of the keyboard and for a clear distinction of data tables. In this paper, we developed a CMS(Content Management System) for everyone to be able to access to information easily in the mobile/web environments that are changing rapidly. The CMS, which is developed in this paper, is designed and manufactured based on KWCAG, W3C XHTML-1.0-Strict DTD, W3C CSS2 web accessibility and web standards. CMS builder is a WYSIWYG manner making it easy to use and manage, as well as a variety of the web was to operate in a mobile environment.

Several software programs such as Bobby and A-Prompt developed based on the W3C's WCAG 1.0 guidelines have been employed to evaluate the accessibility of web sites. Although these programs make an evaluation of web accessibility easy and objective, many researchers pointed out that the results of web accessibility are lack of reliability. Therefore, this study is intended to suggest the modified algorithms for evaluating web accessibility focused on the 'images' and 'tables'. To verify them, we compared the accessibility of the Korean governmental web sites with new and current algorithms, respectively. The results show that the suggested algorithms are more accurate than the existent one.

Due to the enforcement of a law about disability nondiscrimination and rights protection in 2008, the web accessibility has become an obligation. According to a survey targeting public sectors such as central administrative organization, local autonomous entity and etc., the level of compliance with web accessibility appeared to be improved every year. However, such legal mechanism focuses on the improvement of convenience for disabled people only and does not meet the concept of universal design that aims to satisfy every user. Therefore, this study verifies the status of web accessibility on 17 homepages of metropolitan and provincial offices of education. The status survey was carried out with 3 steps: 1) Verification through automated verification tool by National Information Society Agency, 2) Verification through Web Content Accessibility Guidelines(UD-WCAG) that adopts the concept of universal design, 3) Verification by using screen reader. Compared to the verification through automated verification tool, the overall compliance rate verified through UD-WCAG was reported lower.

노인 인구의 급격한 증가와 인터넷을 통한 정보획득의 보편화로 인하여 웹 접근성의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 웹 접근성이란 "경제적, 지역적, 신체적, 사회적 한계로 인해 정보서비스를 받기 어려운 자들에 대한 정보 통신망의 자유로운 접근과 이용" 을 의미한다 정부기관이 선도하여 웹사이트를 통해 보다 편리하고 좋은 서비스를 국민에게 제공하려는 전세계적인 노력에도 불구하고 장애인이나 노인들에게는 아직도 웹사이트의 접근이 용이하지 못한 실정이다. 이는 웹 접근성의 문제를 발생시키는 근본 원인 중 하나인 웹 접근성(Web Accessibility)에 대한 개념 이해 및 현재 사용되는 웹사이트의 접근성 만족 유무를 정확하게 평가할 수 있는 평가 방법의 부재에 기인한다. 현재까지 웹 접근성 평가는 표준 평가항목인 W3C의 웹 접근성 지침(Web Contents Accessibility Guideline 1.0, 이하 WCAG 1.0)을 기반으로 만들어진 자동화 평가도구를 이용하여 대부분 이루어져 왔다. 자동차 평가도구를 이용한 웹 접근성 평가 방법은 평가가 용이하고 평가결과의 정량화로 인해 연구의 객관성을 높일 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 선행연구와 실험을 통해 자동화 평가도구의 문제점이 지적되고 있다. 예를 들어 전문가가 직접 스크린 리더를 통해 계산한 접근성 오류와 자동화 도구가 계산한 접근성 오류와는 많은 차이를 보이고 있다. 기존 연구에서는 자동화 평가도구의 문제점을 보완하기 위해 전문가가 직접 평가하는 매뉴얼 평가방식과의 병행을 제시하고 있으나, 근본적인 문제점을 해결하고 이를 개선할 수 있는 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 "한국형 웹 콘텐츠 접근성 지침(TTAS.0T-10.0003)"을 기본으로 하여 "EuroAccessibilty Consortium" 에서 고려하고 있는 "testable statement" 으로 통합 보안한 접근성 체크항목의 재구성과 함께 "자연어 처리" 알고리즘을 적용하여 자동화 평가도구의 개선 방안을 제시한다. 아직까지 제시된 개선방안의 적용 및 검증이 이루어지지 않아 한계점을 가지고 있으나 자동화 평가도구의 개선방안에 대한 제안은 향후 연구의 기초자료로 활용 가능할 것이며 많은 후속연구를 유발할 것으로 기대한다.

최근 우리나라의 인터넷 이용자수는 급속히 증가하고 있다. 그러나 인터넷을 이용하는 환경은 매우 다양하여 환경에 구애받지 않고 인터넷을 이용할 수 있는 데에는 한계가 있다. 이러한 점에서 볼 때, 누구나 환경에 구애받지 않고 정보에 접근할 수 있도록 보장하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 웹 접근성에 주목하여 국내외의 웹 접근성 동향을 살펴보고 웹 접근성을 보장하기 위한 법 제도와 웹 접근성 실태를 소개하였다. 그리고 우리나라의 웹 접근성 지침을 근거로 종합전문요양기관에 대한 웹 접근성 실태를 조사하였다. 조사 결과 웹 접근성을 제대로 준수한 의료기관은 거의 없었으며, 향후 웹 접근성 확보를 위하여 인식의 제고, 지속적인 교육 및 홍보, 법 제도적 보완 등을 제언하였다.
