This study aimed to provide basic data for designing adaptive dresses for the disabled elderly. The procedure of this study consisted of 3 parts ; 1. the survey of 205 nursing-care providers who take care of the disabled elderly, 2. the market survey of dadptive dresses for the disabled elderly, 3. wearing-tests of those adaptive dresses which are in the market. The results are as follows ; 1. The most popular style for the disabled elderly in nursing facilities was non-collar, regular pajamas. And the most favorite design was a pajama\`s style which has no collar but has a round neckline, front opening and 7/10 length shirt\`s sleeves, with pants of an elastic band waist. And the most desirable fabric was a physiologically comfortable one. 2. The system of adaptive dress sizes for the Korean elderly consisted of 85, 95, 105 ㎝, while that for the japanese elderly was divided into F/S/M/L/LL according to gender. 3. In the case of a pajama\`s style. it is necessary for the elderly men in the facilities need bigger sizes for their jump suits. When we tested the adaptive dresses for the elderly in the nursing facilities, in the case of a pajama\`s style, it was most difficult for us to pull pants over around the buttocks. In the case of jump suits, it was most difficult for us to dress and undress the adaptive dresses around the chest.

The ultimate goal of this research is to establish the movement rights of people with physical disabilities. To achieve this goal, the authors have investigated the regulation and restrictions of physical facilities to guarantee the movement rights and investigated how well these facilities were constructed. The authors then have analyzed and compared the results. The purposes of this research are as follows. First, the authors investigated and analyzed the present conditions of selected public facilities to propose improvement measures for the disabled, pregnant and seniors so that they could actively participate in cultural activities as normal people do. Second, the designs resulting from this research are provided so as to be helpful to disabled people in everyday life, which is different from previously conducted research. Third, the authors have selected facilities with outdoor areas to differentiate the results from those reported recently through research conducted on indoor buildings. The final step of this research is to provide basic design data on outdoor areas to establish true movement rights for the disabled. According to these research findings, the shortest moving distance cannot be guaranteed only by establishing facilities that follow the Article 3 law about guarantee of convenience improvement for the disabled. If the movement path is not regulated, the facility standards may not exist in one part and the part itself may become obscured and the distance could become longer than necessary. Accordingly, for real movement rights the movement path should be guaranteed not to be violated by other obstacles. The results of this study offer convenience when moving within the outdoor space of cultural facilities by providing direct information for the disabled. The value of this study is that it is the first study on movement rights and movement paths for people with physical disabilities.

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to develop an evaluation system using the weighted-values of various users and experts for the public space to apply Universal Design, and additionally to find out the commonalities and differences by comparing the importance of evaluation indicators between users and expert groups. Method: A one-sample t-test was conducted to verify that the components of the public space to universal design application are suitable as evaluation indicators, and AHP(analytic hierarchy process) was performed to derive weight-values for the evaluation system. Results: The importance-values for the total 23 facilities to be used as evaluation indicators were derived by multiplying the weighted-values of each sector, domain, and facility by the disabled, non-disabled, and experts. To summarize the results of overall importance-values derived from the AHP, The disabled showed high-rank weighted-values in facilities of building sector > park & recreation sector > cross domain and low-rank weighted-values for sidewalk and roadway domain. The non-disabled showed high-rank weighted-values in facilities of park & recreation sector > roadway domain > building sector > cross domain and low-rank weighted-values for sidewalk domain. Experts mainly showed high-rank weighted-values in the cross domain and in facilities related to entry and movement to the target space in all sectors and domains. However, it showed moderate importance-values in the sanitary space. The disabled who are restricted to movement have a high demand for universal design in buildings consisting of vertical moving line, and non-disabled people who are not limited to physical movement have a high demand for universal design in parks and recreation sector for increased leisure time. It means that experts are important to recognize the principles of making space because they value cross domain and the key spaces and facilities for suitable the purpose of use. In addition, it can be inferred that non-disabled people have a higher demand for safety than disabled people due to their high importance in roadway domain and facilities of safety and disaster prevention. Implications: The significance of this study is the establishment of a quantitative universal design evaluation system for public spaces considering the different perspectives of the disabled and the non-disabled.
