Modern public library is expanding its role as generalized cultural facility. Therefore public library that has comfortable and physical environment for various age and various users are needed. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the application of universal design in common space of public library, and trying to suggest environmental improvement plan that various users could comfortably use the library based on its data. The scope of this research were adjusted as 8 public libraries located in Seoul and metropolitan area of Seoul. Spacial scope that was set of this research was common space of public library and scope of content was about application of universal design. As a result of the research, first, the application of universal design toward common space of public library were appeared as low. Second, constant management and application development of universal design is needed. Third, as roles and functions of public library become various from now on, application of delicate universal design is needed for intention of users.

This study aimed to evaluate how universal design principles are embodied in the Public Service Center. It will be used for planning the basic materials of the interior environmental design for Public Service Center facilities and for developing ways to improve interior environments in order for them to be conveniently used. In studying a method, we conducted an Universal Design check list to evaluate interior environment, targeting five Public Service Center facilities located in Gwangju Metropolitan city. This study investigated the Universal Design suitability of center interior Public Service Center on the basis of the tools for Universal Design check list which was composed of supportive design, adaptable design, communicability, safety-oriented design, and accessible design. Through theoretically considering the services of Gwangju's old city hall public service center, which got divided into common space, public service space, waiting space and informative material space. Evaluation on universal design application level showed that those with best universal design application are supportiveness and safety in public service space, communication efficacy and safety in waiting space and safety and accessibility in informative material space and acceptability in waiting space had the lowest application level.

Modern public museums are expanding its role as general cultural facilities. Therefore, the museums that are equipped with convenient and physical environmental features for all ages and types of users are needed. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the application of universal design in common space of the museums and to recommend a set of environmental improvement plans based on which various types of users can decide their choice of museums based on available data on the museums. The scope of this research was limited to seven major public museums located in Seoul, Korea. The spatial scope that was set for this research was common space of the public museums and the scope of the content was about the applicability of universal design. As a result of the research, three major conclusions were reached. First, the application of universal design toward common space in the public museums currently was not prevalent. Second, constant management and application development of universal design are needed. Third, as museums' primary roles and functions become more diverse, a direct application of delicate universal design is a necessary prerequisite to accommodate and fulfill users' needs.

세계는 급속도로 고령화가 되고 있고, 이러한 고령화 사회에서 국내 노인이 일상생활에서 겪는 건강관리문제와 감염 관리를 위한 종합적인 대책이 시급하다. 유니버셜 디자인은 노인들을 위한 지지적, 수용가능, 접근가능한 안전한 디자인이다. 본 연구에서 유니버셜 디자인 관점에서 노인 감염 관리를 위한 모바일 어플리케이션 개발 가이드라인을 제시하고자 했다. 본 연구의 유니버셜 디자인 관점에서 '보편적 접근성', '손쉬운 이용', '적은 물리적 노력', '시각화된 언어', '질병관리본부 수칙'은 노인에게 중요한 가이드라인이다. 따라서, 본 연구의 유니버셜 디자인을 이용한 모바일 어플리케이션 개발 가이드라인들은 노인의 건강정보이해능력을 증가시켜 감염 관리 실천행위가 증강되는데 필수적이라고 생각된다.

A greater number of persons with disabilities including an increasing number of aging population has brought concerns on diversity and equality in use of products and environments. Universal design concepts have been introduced rapidly and widely in the built environments in Korea. The purpose of this study was to analyze a model house built in 2006, in the U.S. as a universal design home, systematically examine the universal design model house features, and explore possibility of application of the universal design features in the U.S. into a Korean setting. For this study, site analysis and contents analysis methods were used. Although housing norm, behavioral patterns and environmental contexts would be different, majority of universal design features appeared in the model house were expected to apply. Overall universal design features in the model house sought for attractive, comfort, convenient and safe environment with a little cost. Universal design features in the model house appeared in unobtrusive ways. Universal design considerations on floor materials in living room and bath and furniture arrangement need to modify or replace according to Korean lifestyle.

본 연구는 초등학교 물리적 환경의 유니버설 디자인 적용수준을 유니버설 디자인 7가지 원칙을 기준으로 평가하여 공간 및 시설 측면의 개선안을 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 초등학교 243개소를 대상으로 현장 실태조사를 실시하여 적용수준이 낮은 시설을 분석하였다. 분석결과 '쉽게 인지할 수 있는 정보' 및 '사용상의 융통성'과 관련한 환경개선이 가장 시급한 것으로 조사되었으며, '적은 신체적 노력' 원칙의 적용성 향상을 위해 대지선정과 설계 초기부터의 계획 적용이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate current usages and situations of kitchen with regard to universal design concept in order to provide useful data to plan universally designed kitchen space for all family members. Previous studies for universal design and kitchen planning were reviewed and a checklist was developed to evaluate kitchen space based on universal design concept by researchers of this study. Also, all items in the checklist were reclassified by 5 universal design criteria(Supportiveness, Adaptability, Communicability, Pleasantness, and Accessibility) and analyzed sample kichens by the criteria. The 7 households with different characteristics*age, sex, degree of disability or aging, and number of family) were selected for case studies. The results of this study suggested several critical design points to establish directions or provide guidelines for further kitchen planning.
