抄録

The goal of universal design on parks is to go beyond mere compliance with the accessibility regulations to provide access, as well as increased opportunities for recreation and participation, by improving parks environments and through strategic partnerships. Especially, parks and outdoor recreation sites in Japan are experiencing a demand to provide access from the rising population of older disabled people. For making parks and outdoor recreation sites wholly accessible, performance improvement of staff is essential. However, educational program of universal access for staff of parks and outdoor recreation sites is still developing. The purpose of research is to discuss an effective educational program for staff of parks and outdoor recreation sites. This research had two objectives: (a) identify requirements of training course suit for staff of parks and outdoor recreation sites, (b) test feasibility of educational program. First, surveys of parks and outdoor recreation sites staff explored preferences and experiences of training course using questionnaire approach. Then, we developed and test the training programs, and discussed feasibility of this program. Training program conducted as the courses of online-seminars was almost success. Future research emphasis should be placed on sharing the innovative knowledges conducted by parks and outdoor recreation sites.
