The importance of web accessibility becomes important due to a legal obligation to comply with web accessibility. However, there are few educational programs developed on web accessibility for vocational high schools in Korea. In this study, to explore the future possibilities of web accessibility curriculum the survey with information teachers of 97 vocational high schools was conducted along with review of the curriculums of the domestic and foreign web accessibility educational programs. The survey results indicate that (1) the information teachers have only basic conceptual understandings on web accessibility and (2) they have little intention on teaching web accessibility at their vocational high schools due to current educational conditions and the lack of web accessibility knowledge. The results of this study could be employed as references for the web and web accessibility educational courses at the vocational high schools.

The purpose of this study is suggesting the direction for improving web accessibility by analyzing the state of abiding by the web accessibility by the centers for teaching and learning support at the education offices in cities and provinces which provide the learning and teaching materials to the K-12 members and the interested people. For this aim, nine centers for teaching and learning support were evaluated. The primary manual evaluation by two experts and the evaluation by 18 users were conducted. The users were comprised of hearing-impaired people, visually-impaired people, brain-disabled people, the elderly, various browser users, and a variety of operating system users. As a result of the analysis, not a single center for teaching and learning support had conformed to web accessibility in the expert evaluation and the user evaluation. As a result of the expert evaluation, the errors regarding web design improvement, HTML source error correction, and provision of alternative measures for the disabled were found. This study is meaningful in the sense that it provided various discussions with regard to the direction of the future web accessibility evaluation based on the improved web accessibility evaluation method.

In this study, we analyzed the accessibility of open platform Android mobile banking applications, based on Korean mobile application accessibility KS standard, Section 508 technical standard of Rehabilitation Act, and European BBC guidelines. Experimental result showed that there are no mobile banking applications of 8 commercial banks in Korea that satisfy all guidelines of three standards. Typical violations included missing alternative text, keyboard focus violations, control size and spacing non-compliance, and low contrast ratio. These violations are fatal in that they make the accessibility of the blind, the disabled and the low vision and the elderly impossible. The reason that mobile banking applications do not comply with accessibility is that mobile application developers and providers have low awareness of accessibility and do not know how to implement accessibility properly. Comparing Korea mobile application accessibility guidelines with the revised standard of the Section 508 of Rehabilitation Act and the BBC standard, many guidelines are missing. Also, evaluation criteria are ambiguous and abstract, making it difficult for developers to refer specifically. Therefore, improving mobile application accessibility requires developer and government efforts and complementation of standards.

This paper discusses the design of location optimization visualization and feasibility of 3 dimensional visualization techniques. In generic GIS visualization of location analysis, 2 dimensional visualization techniques have been used to map location elements and model solution, such as displaying demand and supply points, drawing connecting lines(e. g. spider line) of optimal locations to their demands, and representing density of location variations. Nevertheless, current GIS and location analysis literatures have little attentions in 3D visualization applications for location optimization problems. Previous research has been neglected 3D visualization of solution performances and its evaluation of solution quality. Consequently, this paper demonstrates potential benefits of 3D visualization techniques and its appropriate GIS applications for location optimization analysis. The visualization effectiveness of 3D approaches is examined in terms of spatial accessibility, and solution performance of optimal location models is evaluated. Finally, this paper proposes extensive 3D visualization perspectives for location analysis and GIS research as a further research agenda.

Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning established the mobile application accessibility guideline on 2011 to help people with disabilities to use mobile applications, and has intimated it for governmental and public institutions to utilize. This paper presents an analysis of relationship between success criteria in the current mobile application accessibility guideline and the issues raised by users based on user evaluation performed on 5 mobile applications. Analysis results show that the current mobile application accessibility guideline doesn't apply accessibility requirements thoroughly because some mobile applications could not be accessed by users although they are fulfilling the guideline. To fully provide mobile application accessibility, success criteria such as keyboard accessibility, control size, label and time limit that are raised from the result of user evaluation need to be added to the current guideline. And the guideline need to be amended with modification or elimination of some success criteria.
