The student hall and its convenient facilities are hot-core space for various student activities in university campus. It has been for most of the student a place of sweet memories and romance imprinted by a positive image of a cozy atmosphere of unique eating establishments or student hectic activities that used to take place. However, it is questionable whether that facilities are open for all of the students and other users including the handicapped. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate student convenient facilities and to provide an improvement guideline for the wellbeing of students and other users, based on universal design concept. For that purpose, eight universities were selected for an investigation and 81 survey items were developed based on universal design concept; supportive, adaptable, accessible, and safety-oriented design. The analysis found that accessibility to main entry areas, main entry doors, stairs, and handicapped parking were positively evaluated, while information system for handicapped, handicapped public bath, and corridors lacked some notion of supportive and accessible design. Finally the study suggested some useful planning and design guidelines for an extensive and precise application of universal design concept.

Because of the industrialization, the number of acquired handicapped people and chronic disable people is increasing. This phenomenon takes an increasing interest in the interior and environment of a lobby at the rehabilitation's hospitals. This study represents the basic information of an efficient use of spaces in the rehabilitation's hospitals through a research into the characteristics of universal designs in the rehabilitation's hospital lobbies from six hospitals which are located in Seoul and Kyung-gi area. According to the study result, although the handicapped people are accessible to the lobbies, the considerations of the hospital's facilities and their abilities are still insufficient.

본 연구는 장애인을 고려한 환경구축의 최종목표를 가지고 있는 일련의 연구흐름 중 가장 초기단계의 연구로써 장애인의 접근.이동성에 관하여 규정하고 있는 현행 국내법규를 분석하고 평가하는 것이다. 이를 위해 현행법에서 접근.이동성과 직접적 연관을 가지고 있는 실내구성요소­개구부, 복도 및 통로, 계단, 장애인용 승강기, 장애인용 에스컬레이터, 경사로-를 선정하여 연구코자하며, 객관적인 평가를 위해 각 실내구성요소별로 과거의 법규 및 2가지 관련 기준안과 비교.분석하였다.그 결과, 현행법은 장애인을 위한 편의시설 설치 의무조항을 추가하고 대상 시설을 확대하는 등 환경개선의 의지를 보임으로써 장애인의 사회참여를 유도하고자 하였다. 그러나 각 구성요소의 세부기준들이 극히 최소의 치수로 규정되어 있고 장애를 보완시켜 줄 기타 디자인 고려사항들이 언급되어 있지 않다. 또한 장애유형별 특성이 충분히 고려되지 않아 장애인들이 실질적으로 실내환경에 접근.이동하는데 무리가 따를 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 따라서 향후에는 장애인의 의견이 폭넓게 수렴된 기준을 설정하여 질적인 향상을 도모해야 할 것이며 선진복지국가들의 장애인관련 법률 및 규범을 분석.연구함으로써 우리실정에 맞게 접목시키는 노력도 잇따라야 할 것이다.

현대 사회에 들어서 급속도로 발달한 대중교통 서비스와 위치 정보시스템을 이용하여 사람들은 손쉽게 목적지로 이동할 수 있다. 최근 들어 네트워크를 이용하여 위치 정보를 제공하고 있지만 네트워크 취약계층과 같은 교통약자에게 이러한 서비스는 큰 효용이 없다. 본 논문에서는 위치 정보에 기반을 둔 대중 버스의 도착 정보와 거리측정 센서를 장착한 버스 알리미 단말 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템을 활용하여 대중교통 이용에 있어 소외된 교통약자에게 더욱 편리하고 접근성 높은 서비스를 제공할 수 있기를 기대한다.

This paper is the output of a collaborative European project concerning the barrier free accessibility for disabled persons to regional and long distance trains in Europe. Disabled people represent around 13% of the population in Europe. This is approximately 63 million people. The range of disabilities includes people with reduced mobility including wheel chair users, viewing and hearing impaired people and other forms of impairment. Improving accessibility aims at contributing to the provision of public transport services to all citizens in an equitable way. The purpose of the project was to analyse and to evaluate the existing solutions at selected European railways for all required modules at the entrance (doors, information and safety solutions), to derive a design concept, to develop a mock-up in meeting the needs of rail travellers with the above mentioned impairments and to test it with user groups. The project also aims at deriving components for the determination of standards. The EUPAX Design Mock-up test was performed to verify the advantages of the layout of the train segment including the different modules such as access area (including the access door, gaps between platform and train as well as boarding aid devices), entrance vestibule, information systems inside and outside the train, emergency facilities, toilet with all conveniences and the additional test arrangements regarding push buttons, steps and emergency equipment. For this purpose a questionnaire was developed for the assessment of the EUPAX segment and the additional test arrangements. With the help of this questionnaire it was possible to execute a quantitative and qualitative evaluation. During three test phases 67 experts and handicapped persons from 6 countries have evaluated the Industrial Design mock-up based on this questionnaire. The test group covered persons from North (Denmark) to the South (Italy) and from the West (Spain) to the Middle of Europe (Germany). This is especially important for the generalization (harmonisation) of the results for all European countries. According to COST 335 the information for people with reduced mobility should be clear, concise, accurate and timely. So that all information can be received from persons, they must be transferred on at least two of the three possible ways (acoustical, visual, tactile), a so called "2-sense-principle". Based on the results ergonomic specifications/ solutions for the ergonomic design of the access area, the acoustic, visual and tactile information and the emergency devices including the emergency communication system were developed, related to the benefiting passenger groups.

Student halls and their convenient facilities have been a focal point for various student activities at university campus. It has been for most of the student a place of unique memories and of attachment often associated with those good and bad school days. However, it is questionable whether these facilities are supportive and accessible for all of the students and other users including the handicapped. Therefore, based on the concept of UD(universal design) which was widely applied to U.S. institutions, this study intended to evaluate student hall facilities in U.S. and to provide an improvement direction for Korean UD application. For that purpose, four universities were selected for an in-depth analysis and 76 survey indices were utilized based on previous research. It was found that (1) design consideration without braille sign for VIP(visually impaired person) in student buildings can be differently approached with electronic devices; (2) the best demonstration of UD in student buildings can be seen in spacious flat pathway, easy access through ramp and wide entry area, necessary for people in wheel-chairs, but used by all, implying an increase of the ratio of public space; (3) one of the good UD features is an attractive physical environment rather than institutional appearance, in which they ultimately will support and completely adaptable at optimal levels by everyone; (4) consistent maintenance and management maximize the potential of UD principles and minimize physical limitations.

Purpose : The current tactile walking surface indicators have not been easily accessible to blind and vision-impaired people due to unexpected variation of walking environment and walking behavior of transportation poor. Moreover, those indicators frequently cause the inconvenience to transportation users' walking. Thus, this study aims to investigate the improvement of tactile walking surface indicators, by comparing and analyzing findings from the relevant research. Results from this study contribute to suggest the better standard criteria of tactile walking surface indicators for transportation users, especially blind and vision-impaired people, the handicapped, the child and the elderly and weak, providing the secure and convenient circumstance for walking. Method : This study presents the problems about the standard criteria of tactile walking surface indicators via the examination of finding from the past studies. For example, we examine all standard criteria, focusing on shapes, colors and qualities of materials used for Tactile Walking Surface Indicators. Then, the present study suggests the improvement of standard, which apply to the current walking environment practically and reasonably. Results : To improve the current condition of tactile walking surface indicators, the analysis on international and domestic standard criteria need to be conducted. Findings from these analyses helps to suggest the better criteria for the interval between projecting points of tactile walking surface indicators, effective perceived range of walking road, and the brightness contrast between tactile walking surface indicators and finishing materials. Implication : The suggested standard criteria of tactile walking surface indicators need to be tested by transportation users, and the practical instructions of establishing tactile walking surface indicators should also be developed.
