Due to the expansion of cities and the increasing number of large-scale and complex public spaces, there is an increase in public signage. Moreover, the information described on these signs tends to be diverse and complicated. Complex signs that contain multiple destinations or other information must be considered to determine not only the proper size, color, etc. but also the most effective arrangement of design elements. In the previous research, the cognitive utility of complex public signs was estimated using computer simulation software. In the current research, we focused on the objective estimation of the effectiveness of the results obtained in the previous research utilizing an eye mark recording system. Two cognitive engineering experiments clarified five points for improvement in the usability of complex signs, as follows: 1) Parallel construction of characters and pictograms is more efficient. 2) Grouping elements result in rapid recognition of information chunks. 3) Visual characters and pictograms are effective, along with proper density of information. 4) Specific arrangement of sign arrows is effective. 5) Figures on signs influence the sequence of information searches.

The environmental interpretation in historic sites will be considered as an important management strategy for improving the understanding of users of natural and cultural resources which surround them. The purpose of this study was to survey on the status and visitor's awareness of environmental interpretation in historic sites. This study was carried out through the review of literature, the questionnaire to 487 visitors who visited 14 historic sites including palace, royal tomb, and others(Kyongbok Palace, Changdok Palace, Changgyong Palace, Toksu Palace, Unhyon Palace, Donggunung, Soonung, Honinung, Sonjongnung, Yongnung, Chongmyo shrine, Sajik Park, Suwon Castle, Namhan Mountain Castle) at October 26th, 27th in 1996, the field survey of 14 historic sites, and the interview. The results derived from this study were as follows; First, the environmental interpretation of the historic sites that were carried out this research were mainly the signs, interpretive publications, but Changdok Palace(the Secret Garden)have been only implemented the environmental interpretation by guide. Generally, the techniques of environmental interpretation in historic sites were not various, and environmental interpretation for visitor were not implemented effectively. Second, from the questionnaire analysis, visitors who visited 14 historic sites were not concerned with signs being used as typical environmental interpretation media in historic sites, but they were satisfied with the accessibility and location of signs relatively. Also they were more satisfied with the number, graphic, and color of signs than the others. Third, according to the results of satisfaction analysis through re-grouping question item about signs, visitors were the most satisfied with the accessibility of signs, but were not the most satisfied with the design of signs. There were significantly different to the satisfaction about the design and management of signs and comprehensive satisfaction of signs by age group. This results suggested that new environmental interpretation media should be planned and designed in consideration of desire and need by age group. Fourth, it was studied that visitors had not experience of various environmental interpretation. and most visitors agreed to the necessity of introducing diverse environmental interpretation and improving environmental interpretation.

공공시설물에서의 사인은 정확한 의미전달을 목적으로 하고 있다. 특히 유도사인의 경우는 우리 주위환경과 루트를 적절히 표시하고 인식시키면서 우리의 행위를 유도해 주고 있다. 그런데 현재의 유도사인은 3차원적 공간의 방향을 2차원적 관점에서 보여주고 있는 것이 대부분으로, 이는 실제의 3차원 공간 속을 이동할 때 혼란을 유발시키는 한 요인으로 간주된 다. 따라서, 본 연구는 현재의 유도사인의 역할을 재 검토해보고 시지각적 측면에서 효율적인 유도사인의 방향을 제시하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 우선, 본 논문에서는 지하철역을 대상으로 한 의식조사를 통해 이용자의 유도사인에 대한 인지적 태도를 알아보았다. 그 결과, 현재 이용되는 역의 유도 사인은 방향정보 전달의 기능이 제대로 수행되고 있지 않으며, 특히 화살표의 표현방법이 재고되어야 함을 시사해 주고 있다. 본 연구는 인간의 공간 인지적 메카니즘을 토대로, 방향 정보 전달에 있어 현행의 2차원적 화살표 표현의 문제점을 고찰한다. 이러한 새로운 모색은 효율적인 유도사인의 구축에 도움이 되리라 생각된다.

Purpose: We developed a virtual reality (VR) program for use in pediatric nursing practicums to help nursing students learn to measure vital signs in children. Methods: The analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation model was employed between July 2021 and December 2021 at a university in South Korea. In the analysis phase, in-depth interviews were conducted with four nursing students, two nursing school graduates, and four experts. The topic and contents of the VR program were settled in the design phase. The VR program was developed and subsequently used and evaluated by 20 nursing students and four experts. Results: The contents of the VR program for pediatric nursing practicums included the measurement of vital signs in a newborn baby and a young child, as well as an evaluation system. The mean score for the nursing students' satisfaction with practice was 4.02 out of 5 points. The mean scores for overall satisfaction with the VR program were 4.15 and 4.79 out of 5 points for nursing students and experts, respectively. Conclusion: The VR program developed in this study allows nursing students to practice measuring vital signs in children, thus improving the students' clinical performance in pediatric nursing.

Nature and technology are very popular themes in the everydayness of modern world. In our industrial age which is based on technology nature becomes an lost origin and basic environment. On the other hand, technology is conceived as future hope and realistic environment. Through 1960s they had been transformed as signs and connoted into furniture design. As signs, they structured environment, organized space, and bred their own aesthetics. In this context, Danish designer Verner Panton presented nature as experiential landscape and Italian designer Joe Colombo expressed technology as amusing machine. What they showed were not real but sign of nature and machine. Nonetheless they were successful to create aesthetic atmosphere and meaningful projects. Also they showed the potentiality that furniture design might include discoursive issues and values. They also extended functional interesting between furniture and body to cultural domain of social viewpoint in behavioral pattern.

Since most construction workers comprehend information on work through sight, the importance of safety signs are increasing by the day. In Korea, due to the sharp economic progress and the higher standard of the workforce, since the end of 1980, each year the number of foreign workers entering the country who working simple technical jobs have increased this condition. This study researched safety signs, which are the final accident prevention measures at the workplace. Based on the study, comprehension of the standard safety signs of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) was lacking at a level of 2.5. Also, the perception level of the Industry Public Safety Law (38%) was very low. And, it was found that sex and experience or non-experience in safety training was not an issue in the level of understanding. However, when satisfying the standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and changing the safety signs, the level of understanding went up to 3.49 and the perception level was increased significantly to 70%. Thus, it is concluded that, since the foreign workers are mainly from non-English speaking countries and because the workers of Korea are not familiar with English, in order to provide proper safety information, there must first of all be simplistic and concise pictograms. This will provide needed information and must be coupled with simple English words that can give additional information to the worker and be effective in helping him understand and perceive the safety sign. Also, it has been determined that the existing forms of safety signs and their effectiveness in industry accident prevention must be reassessed.

인터넷의 폭발적인 성장에 힘입어 '정보사회', '가상공간'이라는 용어가 더 더욱 혼란스럽게, 그렇지만 당연시되어 사용되고 있다. 현대세계의 핵심적 특성으로서 '정보'와 '미디어'에 일부 사회이론가와 대부분의 일반인은 매료되어 있으며, '지식이 가치의 원천이고 세계를 움직이는 것은 정보이다.' 라는 식의 검증되지 않은 주장을 쉽게 하고 있다. 이에 보드리야르는 현대문화를 기호(signs)의 문화로 정의하고, 우리는 기호와 의미화 양식으로 둘러싸여 있으며, 모더니티의 주장과 같이 기호의 배후에 어떤 실체가 있는 것이 아니라 단지 기호만이 존재한다고 주장한다. 따라서 우리는 비진정성(inauthenticity)을 벗어날 수 없으며 그렇게 할 수 있다고 주장하는 것은 전혀 타당하지 못하다는 것이다. 사람들이 기호가 시뮬라시옹에 불과하다는 것을 닫고 있다면 무엇이든 괜찮게 된다 - 그리고 아무것도 괜찮지 않게 된다. 그리하여 보드리야르의 결론, 즉 "우리는 아무 것도 볼 것이 없는 이미지를 대량으로 만들어낸다. 오늘날 대부분의 이미지는... 아무 것도 볼 것이 없는 문자 그대로 이미지이다." 라는 것에 도달하게 된다. 따라서, 이러한 세계는 의미 없이 보여지고 경험되기 위한 그리고 즐겨지기 위한 기호를 가지게 되는 포스트모던한 세계이며, 이러한 예들은 인터넷등 미디어에서 폭발적으로 보여지고 있다. 즉, 관객들은 아무 것도 보거나 듣지 않으며 단지 현대를 특징 짓는 볼거리들을 경험할 뿐이라고 결론 내릴 수 있다. 본 연구는 정보와 미디어의 새로운 디자인 패러다임에 정보의 긍정적 사회 현상뿐 아니라, 비판적 사상을 검토해 봄으로써 미디어를 바라보는 디자인 철학과 방향에 도움이 되고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the various signs seen on TV commercials for school uniforms since year 2000, thus uncovering the connotative meanings in them. For this study, the semiotic approach has been used. The signs seen on the TV commercials are separated into linguistic and visual signs. They are found to have symbolic connotations. The results are as follows: First, there are plenty of signs expressing the sense of belonging to the student group and sense of conformity to his or her peer group. They are intended to garner their collective identity in the peer group of teenagers. Second, the TV commercials express the self that is realizing one's value dynamically. The frequent designation of 'I', 'me' and 'myself' represents that I am at the center of the world. Furthermore, the suggestion of diverse student roles beyond mere academic pursuits symbolically shows the ideal self that most teenagers wish to have. Third, the TV commercials implied a commercial ideology. That is expressed in the emphasis on aesthetic value that teenagers can realize their self only by consuming expensive school uniform brands. Forth, there are many signs related to appearance and appearance care. They are expressed with very specific signs such as 3 : 7 proportion, long legs, small face, and so on. Repeating or emphasizing the importance of looks and a certain brand name as the tool to accomplish better looks indicates that it contains the ideology of appearance management.
