| Abstract |
| Pictogram is a field of language and literature, intended to remove the obstacle of language and literature between countries and enable smooth communication through written pictures of words or their sounds. It is designed to enable communication between people from every class as well as countries and regions. The use of pictographic design has been limited to ordinary and average people with physical and metal functions and not available to innately and postnatally disabled people. In accordance with the law enacted to promote and protect the convenience of blind people, braille signs marked with braille and embossed types or lines or tactual perception sign are installed in major public facilities in Korea to help their independent walking. However, unified pictogram system is not prepared for those facilities. As each installer is engraving different types of pictogram only for normal people, some blind people are not able to perceive or likely to misunderstand them. This study is intended to find blind people`s difficulties in having access to information and study tactual pictogram which enables communication between ordinary people and blind people based on the physical property of tactual perception. |
