ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to recognize public image of the city among disaster-vulnerable people through a questionnaire survey in a sample of 166 disabled and non-disabled people in Cheongju City. The result of analysis show that the public images of the city that the disabled has include transportation difficulty and inaccessibility to buildings, public restrooms, elevators and parking lots. Moreover, compared to non-disabled people, the disabled have more negative images of the city such as unkindness of staff and limited accessibility to famous sites due to the lack of required infrastructure for them. The findings from this study can be used as basic evidence for promoting a support system for vulnerable population in the city.
