Research on Universal Design of Guiding Information in Public Environment of Aging Society

Abstract:

With the upcoming advent of aging society, the special needs of the elderly have become the focus of attention. Guiding information system for urban public environment has become major means to guide the elderly to make correct effective choices. Based upon psychological and physiological characteristics of the aging population, the research has investigated into text, graphics, color and other aspects of guiding information from the angle of applicability, universal and wide applications of universal design. The research has proposed design method of guiding information in public common environment with the method suitable for both the aging population and the general public. Guiding system in public environment is widely applied in different aspect of society and as a medium for the dissemination of information, the system aims in the first place to meet the needs of basic behaviors of people who live, work or travel in cities. Next, with increasing expansion of scales of cities, convenient, effective, orderly and safe guiding system design is of important significance for facilitating public travel and improving social efficiency.
