| Abstract |
Aligned with the Act on Convenience Enhancement Guarantee for the Disabled, Elderly, Pregnant Women, etc., a process confirms criteria compliance, checking for available convenience facilities. This study analyzes school facilities to implement supportive laws for the disabled. A survey, targeting over 100 architectural design firms that include architects, examined the suitability of convenience facility standards. Results revealed a persistently low awareness among designers even 25 years after the Act's enactment. The legal authority in Seoul reviews design documents submitted for modifying convenience facilities in educational buildings. They assess designs for the installation of these facilities based on relevant laws and regulations. This study aims to assist designers in recognizing and understanding convenience facilities by offering examples of document preparation, ultimately encouraging them to apply these improved guidelines in their building planning and design processes. |
