유니버설디자인 컨설팅 제도 실효성 연구

Abstract

(Background and Purpose) Due to the low birth rate and an aging society, the demographic structure is rapidly changing to super-aging. In the future, a potential increase in the disabled population is expected, and it is time to prepare a response to the future society due to an increase in the number of single households. Therefore, it is time for continuous research to prepare a living environment in which as diverse people as possible, such as the elderly and the mobility impaired, can live on their own and to efficiently support the productive age population. This study aims to study the effectiveness of the consulting system by analyzing the application status of the universal design of the consulting project site promoted after the opening of the Seoul Universal Design Center. Through this, the current status of the consulting system is checked and further improved directions are presented to lay the foundation for policy to spread to various fields. (Method) In this study, among the various types of universal design consulting, the consulting project destinations that were promoted from 2020 to 2022 were selected for pre-consulting. In addition, the reply reflection rate and reply period of the resulting improvement plan were analyzed. After the analysis, a field survey was conducted by selecting a site where the completion was completed. Through this, the application status of universal design is analyzed, the effectiveness of the consulting system is identified, and the improvement direction of the system is proposed. (Results) Through the analysis of the current status of application of universal design, it was found that there are deviations according to the project site. It was confirmed through a field survey that the number of places where the universal design improvement plan was reflected and applied to the project site where the consulting was promoted gradually increased and changed. In addition, as the number of consulting projects increased, the system for consulting systems and procedures was gradually specified and stabilized. (Conclusions) The universal design consulting system cannot show tangible effects or achievements in a short period of time. However, if the consulting business is continuously promoted to maintain the system and steadily develop, the living environment will change little by little. And those small changes are likely to add up to big changes in the future. Consulting system should be regularly checked and improved so that research related to universal design in various fields can be actively carried out. In the future, it is expected that follow-up research on universal design application and dissemination methods, such as methods for improving universal design consulting procedures, will be conducted and developed.
