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.

This study has attempted to study self-cultural skills about my experience in life with a spouse with a physical disability with myself. The 'autoethnography' is a combination of an autobiography describing a personal and subjective life and a ethnography that studies the culture of a social group, and it is a way of expressing self-narrative experiences and experiences related to the context or context of a social group. The analysis showed that the researcher divided into three periods, one for the researcher himself, and defined the first for 'the single life that seemed to last forever'. The second period was the meeting of the disabled facility called 'The Village of the Virgin Mary'. The Third period is the time of meeting with the disabled partner and the life with him, and it is the time to experience a spouse with a rather sensitive disability. Last, it's the time of understanding and effort for my physical disability partner. Qualitative research is a research process that must be understood based on a unique methodological research tradition that explores social or human problems. And, we expect to expand into more analytical and systematic research in future research.

Many people with disabilities have shown interest in artificial intelligence speakers that serves as the main hub of the smart home. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the intention of people with disabilities to use such speakers. The focus is on those with physical disabilities, a segment that accounts for the largest number of disability types. Based on the theoretical model of technology acceptance, the effect of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of artificial intelligence speakers by people with disabilities was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Research has confirmed that the technology acceptance model is suitable for identifying the intention to use artificial intelligence speakers by people with disabilities, and specifically that the perceived ease of use has a significant impact on usefulness. Furthermore, the perceived ease of use for people with disabilities did not have a statistically significant effect on their intent to use whereas the perceived usefulness was shown to have a significant effect on the same. This study is meaningful as a foundation for developing customized artificial intelligence speaker services and improving the use of artificial intelligence speakers by people with disabilities.
