Purpose: Due to increase of interest in the viewing environment for the disabled, ordinances that are related to an optimal auditorium for the disabled are being executed. However, since there are no detailed criteria regarding the optimal auditorium, there is a necessity that it should be supported by more concrete criteria for installation. Therefore, the study is aimed to be utilized as basic data to suggest the criteria for installation of the optimal auditorium in the future through domestic and international legal standards and the analysis of design guidelines that are related to the auditorium for the disabled. Methods: First, legal standards and design guidelines that are related to the auditorium for the disabled were analyzed, and Second, items and things to be improved that are required to suggest the criteria for installation of the optimal auditorium in the future were looked into by comparing and analyzing each contents. Results: Items and considerations by items that are required to establish the criteria for installation of the optimal auditorium were looked into, and based on these results, concrete and standardized installation criteria can be suggested. Implications: Based on the analysis results, the optimal viewing environment for the disabled within cultural facilities can be created through establishment of more concrete installation criteria for the optimal auditorium in the future.

Among those various facilities attached to the school building, the Auditorium is being utilized for not only the Exercise Activity but also for many purposes such as Culture, Public Performance, Education, Assembly and so on. In order to utilize in maximum such function of the multipurpose auditorium, an adequate acoustic design with regard to the Clarity of Voice and Music in accordance with its use-purpose should be accompanied. However, as the most part of multipurpose auditoriums is designed with high ceiling-height by its peculiar character, and due to use of the material of strong reflexibility, it is appearing the defect that excessively exposes the reverberation of sound. In order to make out an optimal acoustic condition within the broad space such as an auditorium, the acoustic characteristics must be considered from the planning stage, however in the most case, those acoustic problems are being settled through the repair works after construction. On such viewpoint, this Study intends to analyze the room acoustic characteristics from the planning stage using a computer simulation based on the blueprint of multipurpose auditorium in S High School located in Gwangju. It is considered that the material analyzed in such way could be practically applied as a fundamental material enables to improve the acoustic capability when a similar broad space is planned hereafter.

For the recently constructing building, diverse forms of attempt are being applied with the environmental-friendly design and reflection of the design factor by environment simulation. Especially, in case of Multi-Purpose Hall, in view of its use-purpose and because of the characteristics that should be utilized as the multipurpose uses by well-mingled together with the lecture-wise factor and musical factor, now it could be said that the sufficient examination and planning with regard to the acoustic factor are essential. On such viewpoint, as the object of practically planning multipurpose auditorium, this Study has intended to design such auditorium equipped with the optimal architectural acoustic factor, for the acoustic condition using Acoustic Simulation Technique at the planning stage.
