This thesis is aimed to suggest the efficiency at the education space for job-rehabilitation through grasping the characteristics of behavior and attitude of the handicapped and analyzing their loaming behavior as an employment promotion for the disabled. For that purpose, the demand of the handicapped and some overlooked space problems we searched by survey, interview, observation and investigation to offer basic data for interior design planning. It resulted firstly that the inconvenience of narrow space was pointed out in many responses implying users suffer from the stress and inconvenience caused by an unconsidered space planning to their behavior. And secondly further difficulties are added when medical appliances for the disabled are not appropriate to common furniture. Finally, without identification of the behavior and attitude of the handicapped the minimum or optimum space needed for them could not be suggested and it may cause to decrease the efficiency in their learning.

The following results were abtained based on the research of the occlusal patterns among 1074 handicapped persons (cerebral palsy: 46, mental subnormality: 619, deafmute: 285, blind: 111, childish autism:8, cleft lip and cleft palate:3, polimyelitis:2) of the age between 6 and 23 in Chollanamdo, Korea, in comparison with a normal group of 1048 children of the age between 6 and 15 selected at random in J primary school in Gwang-ju City. 1. According to Angle's malocclusion classification, all the handicapped groups, except the cerebral palsy and the blind, showed a higher prevalence of malocclusion than that of the normal. Especially the prevalence of Class II, devision 1 malocclusion in the cerebral palsy was the highest, and the prevalence of Class III malocclusion in all the handicapped groups was higher than that of the normal group. Among these groups the highest prevalence of Class III malocclusion was in the Down's syndrome group. 2. On the the abnormal pattern of the anterior region, there was no significant difference $(P\leqq0.05)$ between the normal and the cerebral palsy, the deafmute, and e blind. The open bite $(7.27{\pm}1.04\%)$ and the cross-bite $(32.7{\pm}6.33\%)$ of the Down's syndrome wire higher than that of the normal, and the forward position of the mandible could be recognized in the Down's syndrome group. 3. On the midline position of the dentition, all the handicapped showed the same percentage of deviation, but the degree of mandibular shift to the right $(20.00{\pm}5.39\%)$ or left $(10.91{\pm}4.20\%)$ was higher than that of the normal only in the Down's syndrome group. 4. On the abnormal pattern of the posterior region, the cross-bite of the Down's syndrome was higher than that of the normal by $20.00{\pm}5.39\%$, the cross-bite of the cerebral palsy and the cross-bite and the open bite of the mental subnormality were slightly higher than that of the normal. The other handicapped groups showed no significant difference $(P\leq0.05)$ to the normal.

The mobility and accessibility enhancement is gradually becoming a global interest due to the growth in the aging population and concerns about people with disabilities. The main purpose of this study is to know the current situation in barrier-free level in railroad facilities in order to allow the mobility handicapped to travel in a safe and convenient manner. The research has started with investigating current situation for the mobility handicapped people and explores the needs of barrier-free facilities. 84 domestic railroad facilities were evaluated based on assessment tool developed from the mobility handicapped act. As a result, the fact that the mobility handicapped experienced limited accessibility due to various types of obstacles in the facilities was discovered. Based on the evaluation, obstacles in the facilities were analyzed and categorized by specific dimensions, users' accessibility, mobility, usability, and clarity (way-finding). This study suggests barrier-free design for passenger facilities focused on train station. Because mobility and accessibility are emphasized in current society, improvement of the mobility handicapped' movement should be considered. Barrier-free design for passenger facilities should be realized throughout comprehending the reasons why these obstacles occur in the facilities not using installation convenience facilities. This study has meaning in finding out the obstacles in each cause of occurrence(accessibility, mobility, usability, and clarity (way-finding)).

The purpose of this research is to compare and analyze the change that must be applied to the evaluation of the slipperiness of an inclined floor, when considering its use by the physically handicapped and by the able-bodied. For this study, a simulator that can reproduce the characteristics of the body sway of a physically handicapped person was developed through a comparative experiment between able-bodied people and people with hemiplegia. In addition, as cale for the evaluation of the slipperiness of flat floors and inclined floors was composed by the sensory test result targeting physically handicapped persons (able-bodied persons wore the body sway for the handicapped and ageing in the experiment) and the able-bodied. In terms of the evaluation of the slipperiness of an inclined floor, it was evaluated that it is safe when the C.S.R' (Coefficient of Slip Resistance) of a healthy person is over 0.30, while it was evaluated that it is dangerous when the C.S.R' of a physically handicapped person is over $0.45{\sim}0.50$. Concerning this difference, it is judged that the reason for this difference is that the walking mechanism differs between an able-bodied person and a physically handicapped person.
