  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the condition of the production facilities of severely impaired products for two years from 2017 to 2018, and to suggest ways to improve the preferential purchase system for the severely disabled comparison with previous study. As of June 2018, 267 out of 544 sites were research and analyzed. As a result, first, the average number of severely disabled workers is 16.51, and the total number of workers, disabled workers who participated in direct production, and non-disabled workers showed the trend of increase in 2018. Second, the average monthly wage of workers with disabilities participating in direct production increased slightly from 790,977 won in 2017 to 829,810 won in 2018. Third, Analysis of changes in sales of production facilities before and after designations showed that overall sales of production facilities increased after designations and after designations. Improvement measures include preferential purchase rate improvement and support for production facilities and purchasing public institutions, classification of roles of performance organizations, Clarification of the role of priority purchasing promotion committee for products produced by people with severe disabilities, complementing the minimum wage exclusion system.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop a workwear design that takes into account the characteristics of people with severe developmental disabilities who can engage in vocational activities. The aim was to identify needs according to the specific characteristics of people with severe disabilities to design work clothes and develop products according to universal design guidelines. This research method was conducted through representative interviews from a company employing people with severe dis- abilities in Daegu to determine the requirements for workers-related work clothes, and then applied universal design guidelines to perform appropriate design. The results of the study show that the hygiene and warmth of clothing are important for people with developmental disabilities. Therefore, the use of bright materials is required. Second, people with brain lesions often have low body temperature due to difficulties with blood circulation, for which warmth is a required factor. Third, people with severe developmental disabilities should not be differentiated in comparison to people without disabilities, therefore, it was important to use nondiscriminatory designs. Accordingly, it was more efficient to modify and supplement clothing designed for non-disabled people with hidden functions to suit specific characteristics, rather than to develop specialized clothing. These demands were found to conform to what is referred to as a universal design concept, through which three nondiscriminatory shirt designs and two easy-to-use pants were designed.
