Abstract

Despite worldwide growth of tourism industry and increasing interest towards the mobility handicapped individuals and domestic tourist sites, there are only few barrier free facilities. Even if there are facilities, they need to be improved since there are increasing problems in management and supervision. Thus, this study is intended to establish evaluation system of street environment through analyzing domestic and foreign legal systems and guidelines, also to propose direction of improvement by investigating barrier free street environment of the main commercial street in Myeong-dong special tourism zone. The results of this study are as follow; first, various perspectives and different guidelines for each program should be developed. second, the government should provide an institutional strategy to expand and improve the facilities for transportation vulnerable. Third, detailed guidelines for barrier free facilities should be developed to minimize errors of installation by individuals. Fourth, relevant institutions should secure pedestrian safety and accessibility for transportation vulnerable through the continuous management and supervision.
