| Abstract |
The aim of this study is to derive the basic principles through the analysis of established universal design ordinances, as well as to analyze the commonalities and differences in the perception patterns of the basic principles and components of various types of space consumers and producers, gender, and age. Using ANOVA(analysis of variance), it was possible to guess that differences were caused by various causes such as cognitive, body movement, body size, characteristic behavior, aging level, strength of man and woman, age-specific characteristics, gender, discrimination, and spatial understanding, and found that many differences were occurring between groups of the experts and various space consumers. This means that there is a gap between the groups that create space and the groups that use it, while at the same time suggesting that experts implementing universal design cannot grasp the various requirements of all consumer groups to create space and facilities. Based on the results of this study, it is suggested that a user-centered universal design policy needs to be implemented by collecting diverse opinions by consumer type, gender, and age. This study is an analysis of the perception pattern of basic principles, and has the meaning of ‘first step’ for the stable introduction and settlement of universal design. However, there is a limit to the lack of in-depth interviews to determine the causes of differences in perception patterns, and this leads to the next study. |
