The study aims to identify the existing problems and suggests the implication for the planning of emergency shelter in terms of users' habitability. The results of the study show that the concept of shelters for disaster victims need to set up and be distinctively defined as emergency phase and temporary residency phase. In emergency phase, the various types of buildings and facilities should be considered as temporary shelters for disaster victims such as transitional shelters including the public facilities. Based on the results of the critical review, this research proposed an analytic framework emphasizing habitability for disaster victims including vulnerable people such as the disabled, the aged, women and children. The framework is composed of four dimensions: safety, health, convenience and comfortability. The manual guidelines for emergency shelters should reflect the barrier-free design or universal design for various types of disaster victims considering habitability to provide the positive opportunity and future hope for restoration after disaster. This research can be a basis for the planning and application of temporary shelters for disaster victims.

장애인의 정보격차해소를 위한 다양한 노력에도 불구하고 장애인 및 잠재적 이용자층의 정보요구 미 파악, 단일화된 정보제공 채널의 미비, 웹 접근성의 낮은 체감 수준 등 다양한 요인들에 의해 장애인의 정보격차 해소는 요원해지고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 장애인과 유관종사자 등 잠재적 이용자층의 장애인분야 웹정보 이용행태를 분석하고, 현재 국내에서 제공되고 있는 장애인분야 웹정보서비스의 이용성을 평가하였다. 나아가 웹정보서비스의 기능 개선 요구사항을 파악하여, 장애인의 정보격차 해소를 위한 새로운 정보서비스 모형으로서의 장애인도서관 포털서비스 구축방안을 제언하였다.

It is not easy for users to effectively have information that is semantically related but scattered on the Web. To obtain qualitatively improved information in web pages, it is necessary to integrate information that is heterogeneous but semantically related. In this study, we propose a method that provides XML-based metadata to users through integration of multiple heterogeneous Web pages. The metadata generated from the proposed system is obtained by integrating different heterogeneous information into a single page, using entity identification based on ontology. A wheelchair information integration system for disabled people is implemented to verify the efficiency of the proposed method. The implemented system provides an integrated web page from multiple web pages as a type of XML document.

Universal design is an approach to create environments and products that recognizes the diversity of users, regardless of their ability or age. Recently, old person and disabled person rapidly go on increasing in number. So, universal design concept becomes more and more important in product and environment, etc. In this study, we dealt with the universal design problem of microwave oven considering old persons. New design model for microwave oven was developed and evaluated using human factors approach. The principles of universal design was developed through literature survey and questionnaire survey for old persons, and then design alternatives were developed according to these principles. Two experiments were performed in this study. The purpose of the first experiment was to select final design alternative and the experiment was performed using rapid prototypes. The second one was a usability testing for the real model of final alternative. In this experiment, the real model was compared with the existing real product. As the result, the new design model was a little more excellent than the existing model in usability.

This research is carried out being divided into a first evaluation and second evaluation. A Study is carried out on first, the accessibility compliance level of Korea government department websites and second, whether the site which complies well with web accessibility increases web usability for users through a web usability evaluation. The evaluation result, web sites which comply well with the web accessibility guidelines were observed to increase web usability for both normal and disabled people but web sites which do not comply well were observed to lower the web usability making the web sites unavailable or inconvenient to use. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a very close interrelationship between web accessibility and usability and thus compliance with web accessibility is not an option but a mandatory requirement.

Navigation system or way finding in Wearable computer help disabled and impaired persons and it is impossible to be safe and efficient for drivers as well as pedestrian. Wearable computing situation must be multi-tasking simultaneously and users need minimal attention. In this paper, we used virtual environment as real way-finding similarly. The direction cues of navigation system are investigated as visual only, visual & auditory, and visual & speech. In the paper, the trial demonstrates the difference of performance in detection of directing and performance of motor and subjective satisfaction of user.

본고에서는 장애인정보격차해소에 관련된 각종 사항들을 논의하며 특히 공공도서관을 통해본 장애인 서비스의 현황과 문제점을 분석하였다. 공공도서관의 장애인서비스 현황과 문제점은 국립장애인 도서관 지원센터가 실시한 설문조사 결과를 토대로 하였다. 장애인서비스의 향후 연구과제로 시각장애인 외에도 청각, 지체장애인 등 다양한 장애유형에 대한 연구가 있어야 하겠다고 제안하였다.

The Universal Design is introduced as the universal principle to satisfy people's requirements for various environment. The public space of general hospitals should be designed with consideration of specific requirements of customers. The purpose of our research is to develop and propose the Universal Design checklist which considers the circulation in the public space. We investigated that the consideration for universal design was lacked by actual survey with the checklist made according to 'The law for improving convenience of the disabled, old people and pregnant women'. Furthermore, we found the problems of the checklist. We correct the checklist considering the measurements of the user's body and action. In addition, we propose the Universal Design Checklist by adding the new references in the article about the installation.

It is rapidly increasing number using Hi-pass system passing through tollgate on the high way. However disabled people and man of merit have been excepted existing advantage of discount when they are using Hi-Pass. It is difficult to make a check an advantage when they are in a vehicle for using Hi-pass system technology in present. For solving this problem, we have fabricated virtual Hi-pass system combined fingerprint identification system (FIS) by AVR and fingerprint identification USB. We checked the chance of efficiency and utility in this system for getting a solution of conservative problem. And, it will be also used for entrance ticketing and transferring of cave tourism and so on.

The purpose of this paper was to propose a model that recognizes potential users' emotional response toward design by classifying Electroencephalography(EEG). Studies in neuroscience and psychology have made an effort to recognize subjects' emotional response by analyzing EEG data. And this approach has been adopted in design since it is critical to monitor users' subjective response in the preface of design. Moreover, the building design process cannot be reversed after construction, recognizing clients' affection toward design alternatives plays important role. An experiment was conducted to record subjects' EEG data while they view their most/least liked images of small-house designs selected by them among the eight given images. After the recording, a subjective questionnaire, PANAS, was distributed to the subjects in order to describe their own affection score in quantitative way. Google TensorFlow was used to build and train the model. Dataset for model training and testing consist of feature columns for recorded EEG data and labels for the questionnaire results. After training and testing, the measured accuracy of the model was 0.975 which was higher than the other machine learning based classification methods. The proposed model may suggest one quantitative way of evaluating design alternatives. In addition, this method may support designer while designing the facilities for people like disabled or children who are not able to express their own feelings toward alternatives.
