김선영 Kim Sun Young
abstract
This work is an analysis on the domestic research circumstances of clothing for the disabled, aiming to orient the continuous and active research and have an easy access to necessary information for disability clothing industry. Research method practiced the literature survey including domestic journals and 73 articles of dissertation from 1976 to December, 2014 with which the research period, theme, method, object and location were analyzed. The following are the results. First, as a research theme, clothing composition accounted for the largest portion, followed by design, survey, clothing psychology and clothing science. Second, the research about physically disabled person was overwhelming, accounting for 82.2% in disability research. However, the research for the visually disabled, mentally retarded, or auditory disabled person was limited to a certain period of year and no research has been followed up, lately. Third, in research method, the most common way appeared in the order of questionnaire survey and interview and then design development, anthropometry, and pattern development. Fourth, in gender distribution as object, `only female` and `both male and female` were adopted with almost same ratio considered. And yet, in terms of detailed age distribution, adult female was the most highly surveyed group in frequency. Fifth, in location of research, the type of one certain single place formed a large majority. Particularly, researched places fell excessively on Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. This work confirmed several findings that there were many ways of disability clothing research performed domestically in its theme, method, object and such. However, the research was overly concentrated on certain types of disability, topics, methods, objects, or places. Therefore, it would be necessary that the ongoing clothing research for the handicapped should be followed up with a multilateral approach from all the realms of clothing science in systematic and active manners.
