Smart phones mixed with mobile devices and computers are biggest change of information technology and user-installed applications of them provide various information and services which were only possible on PC and Internet in the past. They are expected to be used by thirty million people in 2012 and people with disabilities can get easily information and location of disabled facilities using them. In this paper, we design a mobile information service system for person with disabilities, which provides various information and location of disabled facilities. We build information of disabled facilities using acquisition information through existing web sites and provide location based service with user's location. We also implement and service the proposed system and we show efficiency of our system.

Smart phones mixed with mobile devices and computers are biggest change of information technology and user-installed applications of them provide various information and services which were only possible on PC and Internet in the past. They are expected to be used by ten million people in 2011 and people with disabilities can get easily information and location of disabled facilities using them. In this paper, we design a mobile information service system for person with disabilities, which provides various information and location of disabled facilities. We build information of disabled facilities using acquisition information through existing web sites and provide location based service with user's location.

최근 우리나라 사회에서는 노약자 및 장애인에 대한 복지문제가 대두되고 있다. 관공서 및 여러 사회기관에서는 노약자 및 장애인들을 위한 편의시설의 설치가 법적으로 의무화 되고 있으며, 이에 따라 다양한 편의시설이 설치되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 편의시설의 설치만 이루어질 뿐 시설에 대한 정보부재로 인해 실제 활용도는 매우 낮은 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 노약자 및 장애인들의 이동성을 위해 웹 또는 모바일 어플리케이션을 통한 편의시설 정보제공 시스템을 구현한다. 본 시스템은 노약자 및 장애인들이 이용하는 편의시설에 대한 정보를 시각적으로 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 또한 시스템 내에서 사용되는 데이터들의 효율적인 관리와 시스템 종속성을 낮추기 위해 웹 서비스를 활용한다.

In this paper, we implement the signboard voice guidance service for visually impaired person using virtual beacon. The new location to provide a location-based service can be added easily by using virtual beacons, which are locating by Wi-fi, GPS, and so on, instead of physical beacons, which are locating by physical devices. We provide the voice service for guiding information of the captured signboard for the visually impaired when he arrived at the location registered through the virtual beacon.

This study aims to address the needs and effectiveness of performance measurement system for convenient facilities support project for people with disabilities performed by local government. In addition, it is also to develop performance measurement index based on logic model. The researchers conducted literature review and focus group interview to develop the performance measurement index. Then, through the project managers and related professionals, the researchers tested validity of the measurement. The final measurement consisted of 38 questionnaires in 8 sectors. With this performance measurement system, we expect to establish rationalization of overall disability services. Also the theoretical framework and approach of performance measurement will be applicable to diverse public social service sectors.

정보통신 및 IT 기술의 획기적 발전으로 인해 오늘 날 우리가 접할 수 있는 정보는 그 양적 질적 측면 비약적인 성장을 거듭하고 있다. 또한 인터넷 보급의 활성화로 대부분의 사람들은 다양한 종류 및 형식으로 구성된 정보 속에서 지내고 있다. 특히 현재 웹 기반의 정보는 날이 갈수록 대량화 고수준화를 향해 내닫고 있다. 이에 반해 정보 소외계층의 한 부류로 인식되고 있는 시각장애 사용자들은 그들의 신체적 환경적 요인으로 인해 원하는 정보를 쉽게 획득하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구는 시각장애를 가진 사용자를 위한 효율적 웹 기반 교육 서비스 인터페이스 구현의 방법을 제시하는 것이 그 목적이다. 이에 현재 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 Screen Reader S/W의 기능적 고찰을 통해 시각장애를 가지고 있는 웹 사용자들에게 사용상의 편의 및 양적 및 질적 측면에서의 보다 나은 정보를 제공할 수 있는 웹 기반 교육 서비스의 인터페이스 구현 방법에 대한 연구를 실제 구현을 통한 그 만족도의 측정을 통해 알아보려 한다.

The Act of Disability Discrimination and Rights Restriction was enacted in 2008 states that all services including cultural and artistic activities should be fair and easily accessible for disabled. The aim of this study was to determine how to improve the facilities and services for the disabled in exhibition facilities and provide complementary guidelines for amenities designed for people with disabled. The conclusions identified through this study are as follows: 1) It should be installed pedestrian safe passage so that visitors could access from the entrance of the ground to inside of the exhibition facility. 2) The floor of the exhibition hall should be installed not slip, and dangerous obstacles placed in the corridor should be removed. 3) It Should be considered that visually impaired and wheelchair users are use different facilities at toilet and elevator. 4) To guide the visually impaired and hearing impaired it should be prepared palpable map, braille signage, miniature and brochures. 5) Visually impaired and hearing impaired can experience the exhibits by using a variety of senses, therefore it may need to provide assistive devices and human services.

This paper analyzes the quality of library services for disabled by studying the service of national public libraries and libraries for the disabled. The sample consists of 768 public libraries and 36 libraries for the disabled. The evaluation criteria is composed of six areas: general, amenities, substitute data, complementary device, source/information service, and culture program. The findings show various deviations depending on the library operator, contents and region. The research also shows that the service quality for the disabled is higher in libraries with specialized worker for this type of library services.

This study was conducted by surveying users' perception about the public libraries' current public relations, which can contribute to developing the most appropriate public relations strategies for persons with disabilities(PWDs). This study concluded, first, PWDs' experience with the PR of the library services was a very low 32.4%. Intellectual disabilities, especially, were reported to have no experience in public relations. Second, the library public relations media which PWDs utilized the most were the Internet, library bulletin boards, banners, ARS services, and podcasting, in that order. However, satisfaction with promotions appeared below average(3 points or less). On the other hand, interest in public relations media was very high. Third, it appeared that library users with disabilities most frequently use the websites of their school library, the National Library of Korea, and public libraries in that order. However, the usage rate of services and users' satisfaction with them were very low. Finally, a high demand for facilities with accessibility to PWD users emerged as a result of this study. Therefore, this study recommends greater accessibility, convenience, and ease of facility use for persons with disabilities.

Recently, the welfare of the elderly and the disabled has been becoming more important. For this reason, many facilities to accommodate them are being constructed in government and public offices. However, the facilities are usually just installed without providing information to the elderly and the disabled. So they are still faced with many difficulties due to the insufficient information on these new facilities. In this study, we implemented the information system of facilities which provides information to the elderly and the disabled through web pages. The objective of this system is to provide visual information about facilities. This system uses web service technology for effective management of data. It is being offered in Incheon's local office. Also, we see a high level of system satisfaction via a survey.
