This study examined perceived discomforts encountered in residential facilities such as individual houses and apartments, and suggested a procedure for improving the problems in the living residence. The participants consisted of two groups of people: normal and underprivileged people; the underprivileged group was classified into 3 sub-groups: elderly people (over 65 years old), handicapped people and pregnant women. To identify inconvenient places and design factors in the residential housing, a total of 200 subjects (50 for each group) participated in the survey using the 7-point Likert scale. As a result, all the user groups mainly answered a high degree of discomfort due to narrow parking places, doorsills, and height differences between floors. The elderly, the handicapped, and the pregnant women replied that it is uncomfortable to use ramps and utility rooms. In a follow-up study, one-to-one in-depth interviews were conducted with some of the participants to analyze the detailed causes of inconvenient places and design factors. This study also suggested the procedure for solving the problems in various design factors from perspective of universal design, by considering prior studies which focused on a certain user group like the elderly. This procedure was suggested to consider as many user groups as possible at the same time. The results can be used to understand the discomforts of various user groups on residential housing. The procedure can also be used to develop universal design guidelines for the living residence.

장애인에 대한 학대 피해가 대중매체를 통해 보도되는 경우 대부분 지적장애인으로 지적장애인은 다른 유형의 장애인보다 학대에 취약하다. 그럼에도 불구하고 드러나지 않고 있는 지적장애인의 학대 피해 실태를 인구사회학적 변인, 사회적 지지망, 일상생활 수행능력, 연령별 장애인의 소속형태에 따라 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 인구사회학적 변인으로는 10대, 여성, 1급의 지적장애인에게서 학대 피해 경험이 더 높게 나타났으며, 사회적 지지망 변인으로는 가족과 동거하는 집단, 친구가 없는 집단에서 학대 피해 경험이 더 높게 나타났다. 일상생활 수행에 있어서는 전적인 도움을 필요로 하는 집단의 학대 피해 비율이 높았다. 생애주기별 이용 기관에서의 학대 경험에 있어서는 보육시설을 이용하지 않는 영 유아의 경우에, 통합된 환경의 학교에 재학 중인 청소년의 경우에, 취업을 한 성인 지적장애인에게서 학대 피해 경험이 더 높게 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 주 돌봄 제공자인 보호자의 쉼 프로그램 운영, 활동보조인 교육 및 평가 프로그램 개선, 통합의 질 제고, 지적장애인의 학대 피해를 구체화할 수 있는 자료 생산을 제안하였다.

저시력 장애인은 선천적 혹은 후천적인 안질환으로 인한 의학적 안광학적 방법으로 개선이 불가능한 시력 장애 및 시기능 장애를 말한다. 저시력 장애인은 전 세계에 2억 4000만 명에 해당할 만큼 많은 비율을 차지하고 있으며 잔존시력이 있음에도 불과하고 스마트 시대에 정보 취약 계층에 속하고 있다. 기존 스크린리더(TTS) 및 화면확대 기능을 통해 정보접근이 가능한 환경에서 저시력 장애인을 위한 모바일 웹 환경에서의 UI/UX에 대한 연구를 통해 저시력 장애인의 정보 접근성 향상 및 향후 연구 방안에 대해서 논하고자 한다.

Along with the increasing number of disabled people, number of handicapped people who spends most of their time indoors increase. Their disabilities constrain them in social activities and bind them to indoors. But living environment built for normal people are many cases inevitably inconvenient for disabled people. People realizes that housing renovation is necessary, however problems such as financial difficulties must be solved in advance. House renovations, to create comfortable and independent living conditions for disabled people, various thesis and documents were analyzed, along with survey through questionnaire. Results are as following. (1) House renovation is necessary, due to the increasing number of disabled people and inconvenience of former house form. (2) Integrated or specialized house renovation manual is required to satisfy the different need derived from extent and type of disabilities. (3) Central and local government's policy for continued support is necessary. (4) House renovation plan for homeless disabled people is necessary. (5) Separate research on the size of space, type of space, efficiency is necessary. (6) Separate house renovation plan considering the people who lives with disabled people is required. (7) Disabilities are not personal but societal problem. This paper is to uncover all the problems in the house renovation for disabled people. It will be used to develop house renovation manual in the future. Therefore, this paper does not deal with the actual house renovation plans.

This paper presents the empirical research results conducted in a Swedish care organization for elderly and handicapped. The objective of the research was to empirically assess the implementation and practices of a quality system (ISO 9000) from an organizational change and development perspective. The empirical data were collected through multiple methods; interviews were carried out with key-persons and leadership in the organisation and surveys were conducted to all employees. Interactive methods have been applied to various groups in the organisations e.g., directors, supervisors, and the leadership of the quality project and the local politicians. The empirical findings indicate, among others, that the implementation processes were received and perceived differently in the different parts of the care organisation due to different leadership strategies and employee involvement policies. Other critical factors such as acceptance, resistance, motivation, commitment, the role of leadership, learning possibility, etc. have also been investigated, analysed and discussed. Finally some recommendations on how to approach organisational change as well as strategies for implementing a quality system in the care sector are presented.

In this paper We propose one computer interface device for handicapped people. Input signals of the interface device are movements of eyeballs and head of handicapped. The movements of the eyeballs and head are detected by an image processing system. One feature of our system is that the operator is not obliged to wear any burdensome device like glasses and a helmet. The sensing performance of the image processing of the eyeballs and head is evaluated through experiments. Experimental results reveal the applicability of our system.

In this paper, we proposed an efficient method for implementing a voice recognition elevator. Unlike the existing ones, the proposed system is based on the bluetooth communication and smartphones equipped with the google speech recognition software, which makes it possible that the speech recognition capability can be added to the previously installed elevators. In order to improve the recognition accuracy, instead of using the result of the google recognizer, we built a web server where the user data are accumulated and they are used for recognition error correction.

It is the purpose of this study to provide the basic data to stimulate the social understanding of an abandoned child from the medical viewpoint and the viewpoint of administrative management. The data are based on the medical dossier of 305 patients which were hospitalized in 'A' hospital (of Seoul municipal hospital) between 1992 and 1996. The method of analysis is SPSS statistical package and the following results can be obtained 1. The abandoned children were frequently found in the Spring by season, in April by month, on Friday by day, and especially in the night and before an individual home and an medical institution in many cases. 2. The children found in an individual home were younger, handicapped smaller, and hospitalized for shorter period. As they were healthy relatively, parents might hope that they were accepted as foundling foster children. Contrary to above case, the children found in an medical institution were worse, handicapped more, and hospitalized for longer period. Accordingly, parents might hope that they were protected in an public institution. 3. The $69.8\%$ of abandoned children had caught a disease at that time and the $53.8\%$ of them had been handicapped. The most serious disease and handicap were the heart-lung trouble and the cerebral palsy, respectively. 4. The only $60.8\%$ of them were adopted and the most of them were healthy relatively. The $10.2\%$ which have been dead had caught four diseases on the average. As the results of above, the followings can be proposed : 1) It is required that the system connected to administrative management, which can provide the abandoned children turned for the better with the family relations to voluntary servants, be developed. 2) It is required that the system of registration management and plan for support economy, which can support the handicapped birth as the congenital malformation in national aspect, be developed. 3) It is required that to protect abandoned children, the health educational program for childbirth-people be prepared in the unit of a public health center.

본 논문에서는, 스스로 차량에 탑승하기 어려운 장애인을 대상으로 하는 장애인용 차량의 탈착식 시트에 관한 연구 내용을 다루었다. 탈착식 시트는 운전석의 시트가 휠체어 역할을 하는 시트를 의미하며, 본 연구는 이 시트가 차량에 자동으로 도킹하는 시스템에 관해 다루고 있다. 현재 출시되어 있는 탈착식 시트의 경우에는 주로 탑승자가 조이 스틱 등을 이용하여 수작업으로 도킹을 시도하고 있지만 이것은 불편한 장애인의 도킹을 매우 어렵게 하는 원인이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 차량 앞에있는 휠체어와의 위치를 자동으로 감지하고 측정하는 방법에 대해 기술하였다. 차량의 문에 도착해 있는 휠체어의 위치를 자동으로 감지하기 위해 리프트에 두 개의 초음파센서를 부착하였다. 초음파센서는 휠체어 뒷면에 부착된 감지판의 위치와 그 거리를 측정하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 휠체어와 리프트의 자동 도킹을 위한 세부적인 절차와 방법을 제시하였고, 그 정밀도도 분석함으로써 실질적인 활용이 가능함을 입증하였다.
