| Abstract |
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the facilities for the disabled person in Busan subway lines. The observation is used to access the facilities. The findings from the research are as follow; First, recently opened third subway line had more good facilities for the disabled people than any other lines. On the other hand, it was shown that subway lines 1 and 2 had very lower percentage of the facilities. Therefore, the facilities for the disabled person in Busan subway lines 1, 2 should be improved. Second, the common weakness of the Busan subway lines is that handrails are not appropriate to the disabled person. Handrail should be continuous surface shaped for easy gripping. Third, vertical moving lines for the disabled person should be improved in the subway 1 and 2 lines. |
