As cities develops, road systems become more and more complicated. These days people depends on navigation systems when walking as well as driving cars. General navigation systems are either installed in cars or exists as smart phone applications. Therefore, it is very difficult to use them while walking or riding bicycles. Moreover, disabled person cannot use them to find his destinations. In this paper, we propose a bracelet navigation system for walkers and disabled people, and describe the design and implementation of such a device. This navigation will help not only walkers and people riding bicycle but also disabled people to actively participate their social activities.

Purpose: to develop an instrument to assess the rehabilitation motivation and to test its reliability and validity. Method: The data was collected with in-depth interviews of nine participants that include adults with disabilities acquired after they reached 18 years' of age. The development of the preliminary items was based on the theory of self-determination proposed by Deci & Ryan (1985) and the results from the analysis of the data. After these, appropriate specialists clarified the validity of the contents of the preliminary items twice. A test to reliability and validity was conducted with 186 disabled. A principal axis factor analysis with oblimin rotation was performed on 29 items. Result: Finally 27 items were selected. The 5-factor solution emerged as the most appropriate model for the data. The different types of motivation for rehabilitation were identified as: task-oriented motivation, change-oriented motivation, obligatory motivation, external motivation, and amotivation. The alpha coefficient of internal consistency was .85. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the instrument to measure motivation for the rehabilitation of the disabled may be a useful instrument with a high degree of reliability and validity.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze big data related to DURIBAL from the operation of taxis reserved for the disabled to identify the issues and suggest solutions. ESG management should be translated into "environmental factors, social responsibilities, and transparent management." Therefore, the current study used Big Data analysis to analyze the factors affecting the standby of taxis reserved for the disabled and relevant problems for implications on convenience of social weak. Design/methodology/approach The analysis method used R, Excel, Power BI, QGIS, and SPSS. We proposed several suggestions included problems with managing cancellation data, minimization of dark data, needs to develop an integrated database for scattered data, and system upgrades for additional analysis. Findings The results showed that the total duration of standby was 34 minutes 29 seconds. The reasons for cancellation data were mostly use of other modes of transportation or delayed arrival. The study suggests development of an integrated database for scattered data. Finally, follow-up studies may discuss government-initiated big data analysis to comparatively analyze the use of taxis reserved for the disabled nationwide for new social value.

This paper discusses American disability theater's representations of disability identity and disability identity politics. Dramatists John Belluso and Lynn Manning, among others, present characters with disabilities who experience oppressions at multiple, interlocking levels of domination on the basis of disability, race, and ethnicity. In Manning's Shoot, the black, blind hero iterates episodes in which he experienced discrimination and insults in encounters with whites who used derogatory racist words or belittled him and with some school children who taunted him for just being blind. This play, as in Manning's solo performance, Weights, presents narratives of a blind person traversing multiple locations of oppression in "a long litany of losses" in a white-dominated and ableist society. Belluso's Gretty Good Time similarly weaves together stories of disabled women, Gretty and Hideko, who bond together to resist the dominant ideology that reduces them into titillating commodities of mass consumption. Hideko's story serves the two-fold function of both affirming the specificity of her individual experience as an ethnic other and espousing the communal experience of stigmatization she shares with other disabled women like Gretty. In these plays, the intersection of the identity categories of disability, race, and ethnicity highlights the diversity of the body and the fluidity of boundaries, foregounding the specificity of disabled bodies, while at the same time overthrowing the hierarchical binarism between disabled and "normal" bodies.

예전부터 IT 기술을 이용한 장애인의 복지 증진을 위한 많은 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 최근에는 거리에 설치된 수많은 모바일 센서들을 활용하여 라이프 로그를 저장하고 네트워크를 통하여 서버에 전송함으로써 로그를 저장한 후, 이러한 라이프 로그를 분석함으로써 해당 사용자가 위험에 노출되어 있는 지를 판단 할 수 있게 되는 시스템이 많이 제안되고 있다. 특히 장애인의 경우 위험에 노출되기 쉬우며 매번 보조자들이 함께 다녀야 한다는 부담 때문에 외출을 두려워하는 경향이 있다. 따라서 이러한 부담감을 덜어주어야 심리적으로도 육체적으로도 더 나은 삶을 살아갈 수 있게 유도할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 이러한 심리적 부담감을 덜어주기 위한 방법으로 장애인의 라이프 로그를 기록하고 분석할 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다.

As there is no case study with current status, measurements or description on the state of actual site of rural area only, the delivery of actual conditions about such an area is significantly limited. The purpose of this study is to pinpoint issues with housing conditions of low-income family with disabled members in the rural area. For such a purpose, 25 households of disabled people have been visited for interview, on-site research and survey, of which results are summed up in this paper as following: First, average monthly income of such family turned out to be KRW 480,000, most of which is from the government subsidy. High ratio of such families has resided in a house with average size of approximately 56m2 for about 24 years. Secondly the most needed maintenance work with top priority was for the toilet, and many of the interviewees expressed their discomfort about small size of their bathrooms and inconvenient facilities therein. Thirdly, most of such houses had too high thresholds that posed danger and inconvenience. Such thresholds had average height of 13cm, which can be considered as completely inconsiderate of disabled users. Fourth issue was that these people needed safety handle that will enable them to stand up or to be in the standing posture in the living room and bedroom where they spend most of their time. Fifthly, they wanted finishing materials with waterproof functionality as well as replacement of finishing materials and wallpaper which were too old and caused hygiene issues. As these issues represent, current housing for disabled people in the rural area turned out to be poor and risky space rather than the place where difficulty of individual situation can be resolved or their disability can be complemented. Thus it can be determined that now is the time to arrange the solutions for such housing difficulties and to establish customized housing plan to ensure safety and convenience.
