Abstract

For people with physical or sensory limitations, broadcasting is the main means of information acquisition and leisure. Recently, changes in the media environment, such as convergence of broadcasting and communication, digital mobile conversion of broadcasting, and active media usage behavior of users, make broadcasting accessibility of the disabled difficult, and as a result, the information gap between the disabled and the non-disabled is increasing. A notice on broadcasting rights for the disabled was enacted in consequence of the amendment of the Broadcasting Law in July 2011 and the web accessibility guideline became more effective with the amendment of the National Informatization Act in 2013 so that legal basis for the right of media access for the disabled was established. However, media services for them are still lacking quantitatively and qualitatively. In this study, we describe the present status of the audio description service for the visually impaired, and analyze the results of the questionnaire survey on the usage status, satisfaction and improvement requirements of the audio description service for 100 visually impaired people.

신체적 감각적 제약이 있는 장애인들에게 방송 시청은 정보 습득 및 여가 생활의 주요 수단이다. 최근 방송통신의 융합, 방송의 디지털 모바일화, 이용자의 능동적인 미디어 이용행태 증가 등 미디어 환경의 변화는 장애인의 방송 접근성을 어렵게 하고 있으며 그 결과, 비장애인과의 정보격차가 커지고 있는 현실이다. 이에 2011년 7월 방송법의 개정으로 장애인방송 접근권 보장에 관한 고시가 제정되고 2013년 국가정보화기본법의 개정으로 웹 접근성 지침의 효력이 커지면서 시청각 장애인의 미디어접근권의 법적 근거가 마련되었다. 하지만 장애인을 위한 미디어 서비스는 여전히 양적 질적으로 부족한 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 시각장애인들의 미디어 접근에 필요한 해설오디오 서비스의 제공 현황을 알아보고 100명의 시각장애인들을 대상으로 실시한 해설오디오 서비스의 활용 실태, 만족도 및 개선 요구사항 등에 대한 설문조사 결과를 분석한다.
