| Background The world's population trend is rapidly aging. Korea is also set to become a super-aged society in 2026, but it has yet to prepare public infrastructure to cope with traffic accidents. The relationship between urban decline and the effect of traffic accidents is deeply related to the improvement of facilities that reflect the trend of the times and the cause of accidents. In particular, the speed of walking, which is limited to the physical and psychological characteristics of the elderly, and the factors limiting the physical use of the walking facilities are causing serious exposure to children's walking accidents. Thus, an actual user-centered design approach is needed to improve which crossing-standing facilities of await in Inclusive design that meet the aging of users.
Methods Through a literature survey to this end, the characteristics of the elderly walker and theoretical consideration was given to the pedestrian crossing facility and the design of the enclosure. The analysis was based on prior research and reports within the scope of foreign countries in order to look at the application of the cross-standby design. The scope of the research was reduced to atmospheric facilities among transversal facilities and to the case of a 'long-lived chair' in Korea. Research methods were conducted on survey methods for the status and satisfaction of installation of 'long-lived chair', 'F.G.I.' and 'fly-on the all-observation' techniques.
Result To reduce the fundamental pedestrian accident rate through the research method, the design improvement direction of cross-standby facilities should be considered in detail simultaneously with the user's behavioral characteristics, physical environment and operational aspects.
Conclusion This Inclusive design approach will serve as an active part of a happy aged-friendly society in the actual use environment and in the process of use of the elderly, who are the weakest in traffic. And this is also the final direction of the Inclusive Design for everyone. I hope that the measures presented in this study will be a cornerstone of the design direction that will go further and cause all pedestrians to cross-border traffic accidents. |
