| Pictogram purports to communicate any information easily and fast to everyone by reducing the load of information processing resulting from the difference in nations, languages, races, religions, customs, and cultures, and then, symbolizing meanings. and the pictogram is the picture information that symbolizes human beings` intuitive, basic, and demonstrative meanings, and it is used as a more effective communication medium than a language or letters. But this paper clarified the limitations of the pictogram in communication among the blind who can`t use the visual sensory organ. That is, pictogram has a dual structure - one is for ordinary people who can use the visual sense and the other is for the blind. In the case of the pictogram for the blind, the pictogram that is lack of unity of shapes is used together and the expressions that are difficult to perceive with the sense of touch are used so it can make some errors in the blind`s interpretation, judgment, and behaviors. Therefore, under the current circumstances that the standardization of pictogram and the Act on the Ban on Discrimination of the Handicapped are in operation, this paper proposed the necessity for researching the pictogram for the blind that have different physical characteristics from ordinary people. In addition, through the theoretical examination of the characteristics of the blind and through the analysis of the current status and the utility of the pictogram for the blind, this paper prepared the fundamental knowledge to grasp out the problems with the pictogram for the blind and to find out the developmental ways of the pictogram for the blind. |
