ABSTRACT

Purpose: The number of the transportation poor has been steadily increased, and also the socialperspective toward the disabled has been changed. Thus, Universal Design has been needed. Inparticular, the unknown majority of the transportation poor have frequently used the urban railwayfacilities which should reflect the ideals and principles of Universal Design. However, previousresearch has not focused on the study on critical factors of Universal Design. Based on thisobservation, the present study aims to find out Universal Design critical factors of urban railwaystation. Methods: This study explores the criteria of planning Universal Design in the urban railwaystation by analyzing and comparing the similar criteria used in both domestic areas and foreigncountries. Result: Findings from this study are as follows. First, we found out the critical factors ofUniversal Design in the urban railway station by comparing and analyzing the similar criteriapreviously used. Second, this study also suggests the better directions toward the domestic criteriarelating to the urban railway system. Third, we found the need of the universal standard as wellas individually corresponding strategy. Moreover, we found the need of preparing the critical factorsfor the physical environments as well as the human service. Implications: The further research onfindings of the planning criteria will have been continued on the basis of findings of the presentstudy.
