The necessity of universal design for forestry is increasing. Although several studies applied universal design in forest site, they had been only concentrated on the barrier-free design for the limited activities rather than overall utilization for considering all visitors from the disabled, the elderly and the infirm to the baby and child. The purpose of this study is to find out the principle of the universal design within forest welfare service facilities by analysing how socially disadvantaged people perceive overall usage of natural recreation forest area. This study figures out the main principles of universal design in forest welfare through analyzing usage of children and disabilities in Yumyeongsan natural recreation forest where is one of the popular type of forest welfare area. By doing focus interviews targeted on children and disabilities, the results are analyzed through semantic network analysis, objectively. The result proves that universal design in forest welfare area contains four principles; convenience, safety, diversity and amenity. Also it confirmed that disabilities need better internal space facilities and priority care. Through those characters of universal design, forest area will be able to cover more various type of users as forest welfare area.

The purpose of this study was to identify the universal design characteristics in residential environments. The subjects were 135 physically disabled persons who lived in the rental multi-family housing apartments in Pusan. Interview method was used for this study. They were an average age of 51 years and 63% were male. They were low income families and lived in 12 pyung ($39.75\textrm{m}^2$) apartments. They were asked about what housing characteristics were constraints in their daily living. They pointed out that the constraints in their apartments were as follows: 1) the small amount of space in the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and the entrance area of housing unit, 2) the unflat floor level between the bathroom and the hallway, or the balcony and the bedroom, 3) the slippery floor finish in the bathroom, 4) lack of grab bars or handrails in the bathroom and the ramp, 5) the kitchen work centers and the electric switches at improper height, and 6) the steep ramp. Therefore, the universal design characteristics in residential environments were the adequate amount of space, flat floor level, non-slippery floor finish, grab bars or handrails, accessible height, and ramp.

보행보조기를 사용하는 노약자나 환자들의 경우는 대부분이 다리의 힘이 부족하여 장시간 걸을 수 없기 때문에 보행 중간에 잠깐씩 쉬어야 하는 경우가 많다. 따라서 육체적으로 약화된 노인이나 환자들이 안전하게 보행을 실시할 수 있도록 보행 능력을 보조하면서도 생체측정 및 IT응용 제품을 사용할 수 있도록 추가적인 다기능 보행보조기의 개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 본 연구는 기존 보행보조기의 한계를 극복하기 위해 노인 중심의 새로운 가치가 부여된 보행보조기의 디자인에 관한 내용으로써, 허리가 굽은 고령의 노인을 위한 보행보조기 중심으로 진행되었다.

기술이 발전함에 따라 사람이 해야 했던 상당 부분을 기계가 대신하거나 보조하게 되면서 사람들은 편리해지고 안전해졌다. 그러나 한편으로는 자연적인 위험을 줄이고, 생활의 편이를 돕기 위해 만들어진 기술에 의해서 인위적인 위험이 생겨나고 이는 돌이킬 수 없는 신체의 장애를 초래하기도 하였다. 지체장애인의 약 70%가 선천성 장애가 아닌 후천적인 이유라는 사실이 이를 뒷받침 한다. 점차 자애인의 수는 증가하고 있으며, 장애인의 권익을 최대한 보호하고 그들이 장애를 겪지 않는 사람들과 동등한 혜택을 누리면서 살 수 있도록 하기 위해 각 단체에서 지속적인 관심을 갖고 개선하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 특히 장애인의 절반을 차지하는 지체장애인이 대중교통을 이용의 편의를 위한 이동에 관한 부분은 많이 개선되었으나 여러 부분에서 개선과 보완이 필요하며 정보디자인 부분도 예외는 아니다. 특정 정보를 필요로 하는 사용자가 그 정보를 정확하게 쉽게 찾아 이해할 수 있도록 하는 것은 실제 환경에서 사람들의 편의를 돕기 위해 존재하는 매체들을 충분히 활용하기 위해서도 매우 중요하다. 이 연구에서는 공공물 디자인에 많이 적용되고 있는 유니버설디자인 관점에서 지체징인들의 대중교통의 대표적인 수단의 하나인 지하철 이용 편의를 위한 정보 전달 시스템의 중심인 사인시스템의 현황을 분석하고 개선 방안에 대해 연구해 보았다.

This study was conducted to develop standards for evaluating what extant the physical environments of housing which can cope with the needs of the aging society. This study was consisted through literature investigation research mainly, and research target literature limits keyword to elderly housing environment and chose connected domestic various literatures. The scope of evaluation was limited to the indoor spaces and outdoor spaces of housing as it was thought that the elderly spend much more time at indoor, outdoors, considering their physical characteristics. The study are as follows ; First, in outdoor only area from design environment element accessibility, and safety emphasized from equipment element, health of community territory was expose from design environment element that supportiveness is emphasized from equipment element. Second, in living room safety emphasized from design environment element in bedroom and bathroom of indoor individuation space, vestibule, balcony supportiveness, health was expose that is emphasized kitchen and mess. Also, was expose that supportiveness is emphasized from equipment element of all individuation spaces. Third, was expose that design environment element in corridor that is indoor official business space, stair, lobby, elevator and safety from equipment element and supportiveness are emphasized.

In the world, the old population is growing fast and many countries went into an advanced age society. Therefore the development of everyday products, electric appliances, and welfare services considering old people is more important than ever. In particular, the complexity of products can cause many problems for old people. Universal design is an approach to create environments and products that recognizes the diversity of users, regardless of their ability or age. Universality evaluation for a product is very important to verify old people's accessibility and usability for the product. Universality means how good a product was designed in view of universal design principles. In this study, UNIX, a method to evaluate the universality of a product was developed. UNIX was based on seven universal design principles; equitable use, flexibility in use, simple and intuitive, perceptible information, tolerance for error, low physical effort, size and space for approach and use. UNIX is a kind of expert evaluation and very simple method. The method is consisted of two steps. In the first step, relative weights for seven principles and subjective ratings on design suitability for each principle are obtained. In the second step, universality index (UNIX) of each product is obtained by weighted average multiplying relative weights and rating scores. As a case study, this method was applied for mouse designs. In conclusion, this method could be effectively applied to evaluate the universality of a product.

Housing is the most important factor for the elderly and the disabled to live safely and independently. If they want to stay in their familiar community as long as possible, to support their stay in their house must be needed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the housing alterations for the elderly and the disabled. To accomplish the purpose of this study, three cases that had altered housing to fit their needs in three countries, were selected. In Korean case of alterations for the disabled, bathroom and kitchen were the altered spaces in the house. But active alterations were not done, because of the limited expense for the alterations and housing ownership, rented. In one case of housing construction for the elderly in Japan, there was no level difference in the interior. Two bedrooms were provided for the husband and the wife, because of the difference of time to bed. The sunroom for enjoying the outside of the nature was provided. In swedish case, due to the supports of the government and local authority, the house was altered at many spaces such as bathroom, kitchen, ramp at the entrance, elevator and so forth. In conclusion, sufficient supports of government and community services can increase the housing quality of people. The ultimate goal of housing alterations must be done not for the elderly and disabled but for all people.

A greater number of persons with disabilities including an increasing number of aging population has brought concerns on diversity and equality in use of products and environments. Universal design concepts have been introduced rapidly and widely in the built environments in Korea. The purpose of this study was to analyze a model house built in 2006, in the U.S. as a universal design home, systematically examine the universal design model house features, and explore possibility of application of the universal design features in the U.S. into a Korean setting. For this study, site analysis and contents analysis methods were used. Although housing norm, behavioral patterns and environmental contexts would be different, majority of universal design features appeared in the model house were expected to apply. Overall universal design features in the model house sought for attractive, comfort, convenient and safe environment with a little cost. Universal design features in the model house appeared in unobtrusive ways. Universal design considerations on floor materials in living room and bath and furniture arrangement need to modify or replace according to Korean lifestyle.
