A Research on the Universal-Design Index

Abstract

In July 2005, the fundamental principles of universal-design policy were decided as for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport. And then, in December 2006, so-called “the new barrier-free law” was enacted, and in present the decision work about the relational standard is being examined. At this presentation, as for “the universaldesign index” which is being examined in our laboratory, I will introduce on the points, the subjects, the approach toward a method of the evaluation, and the examination conditions.
