Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the status of universal design application at the Busan Cultural Center and suggest improvement measures. The facilities of the Busan Cultural Center were divided into six areas and a checklist of application evaluation elements of universal design was formed and an on-site investigation was conducted. As a result of the analysis, first, in the case of intermediate facilities, it is necessary to improve and manage the floor finish and gaps of access roads, and to provide safety passageways for pedestrians. Second, in the case of interior and exterior facilities, swing doors need to be replaced with automatic sliding doors, and more information signs and guidance blocks must be installed. Third, in the case of sanitary facilities, there must be sufficient facilities that can be used by users of various age groups, such as diaper changing tables and children's toilets, and a nursing room must be provided. Fourth, in the case of information facilities, it is necessary to install tactile maps and brochures written in Braille, and it is necessary to prepare a separate low-height information desk. This study can be used as basic data for applying universal design to public cultural facilities in Busan to create an environment where anyone can enjoy culture and arts.
