Research on Transportation Inclusion for People with Disabilities

The purpose of this study is to examine various policies to promote the mobility of people with transportation disabilities, to identify problems and improvement measures in terms of transportation welfare, and to identify dilemmas in transportation welfare inclusion policies due to the strengthening of transportation rights and regulations. The scope of the study is limited to the current situation in Korea since the enactment of the Act on the Promotion of Mobility Convenience for the Transportation Disadvantaged in 2005, and the spatial scope is limited to the central ministries that manage transportation welfare inclusion policies related to the promotion of transportation convenience for the transportation disabled in Korea and abroad. Although previous studies have provided facility functions, practical and policy alternatives for transportation safety of people with disabilities, the comprehensive status of transportation welfare of people with disabilities, analysis of media reports, laws, and case studies have been overlooked. When the transportation safety of people with disabilities becomes an issue, it is necessary to find out the key factors for solving the problem by their characteristics and focus policy resources to solve the problem. In conclusion, this study is expected to contribute to the current situation where social problems of people with transportation disabilities remain, by identifying trends in transportation welfare, which is an antecedent factor of traffic safety, to check the current status of transportation welfare support for people with transportation disabilities and to provide basic data for social welfare intervention.
