Abstract

Importance of Web accessability for handicapped persons is ever increasing in the information society with increasing role of the Web. The Web accessibility of handicapped person related Web sites were compared with the school Web sites in order to figure out the realities of handicapped person related Web site's accessibilities. According to the experiment, the Web accessibility of handicapped person related Web sites got lower scores than general school Web sites. The research result shows that more improvement efforts for the Web accessibility of handicapped person related Web sites are required.

웹의 역할이 커져가고 있는 정보화 사회에서 장애인을 위한 웹 접근성의 중요도 또한 커져가고 있다. 본 논문에서는 장애인 관련 웹 사이트들의 접근성 실태를 알아보고자 학교 웹 사이트들과 비교 분석하여 보았다. 웹 접근성 평가 실험 결과 장애인 관련 웹 사이트들의 접근성이 일반 학교의 웹 접근성보다 낮게 평가 되었다. 본 연구 결과는 일반 웹 사이트들에 비하여 장애인 관련 웹 사이트들의 웹 접근성 향상 노력이 더욱 필요함을 보여준다.
