The size of the disabled market has grown quite rapidly in recent years. It is
estimated that the size is between 10 and 19 percent of the general
population for every country. One of the challenges arising as a result of
this growth is whether tourism industry can respond and accommodate the
needs of this special group of people. It is acknowledged that although there
are several studies which have examined issues related to disabled tourism,
most of them focused on physical accessibility and hotel services. Therefore
the aim of this paper is to explore external and internal barriers that may
discourage the intention of people with disabilities to participate in tourism
events and activities. The paper will also analyse the implications surfacing
from the interaction between people with disabilities and the event
environment as well as on the efforts to overcome barriers. In discussing
issues pertaining to internal and external barriers in the context of tourism
and events, the approach of social disability model is adopted. In general,
findings of this paper demonstrate that despite the external constraints
always has been a priority, it is the internal barriers that has the most effect
on the intentions of the disabled people. It is identified that factors such as
cultural beliefs that having disabilities as shameful, strong feelings of
inferiority, sense of dependence and low self-esteem can have a strong
influence in determining the participation of disabled people in tourism
events and activities. Based on findings of this paper, a number of
suggestions to reduce barriers in order to encourage participation among
disabled people including promoting positive image and friendly
environment towards people with disabilities, strengthening policies and
others are also mentioned.
In 2013, total government R&D budget of Korea has reached 16.9 trillion
KRW*. Despite the global economic crisis, the R&D budget has increased
continuously. As the government budget and the number of national R&D
programs have increased remarkably, a rational and effective discussionmaking becomes an important issue in process of R&D budget allocation
and adjustment.
To review all of national R&D programs during the process of budget
allocation and coordination, it is required to analyze tremendous amount of
information, data and sources. Since these information is not only
complicated but also rapidly changing, a system to help the decision making
by managing the information efficiently is required.
In order to use for government R&D budget planning, KISTEP planed and
built a Database which includes investment priorities, budget proposals and
midterm program plans and established knowledge sharing system.
This study has 3 goals.
To improve system performance.
To understand the process of R&D budget allocation and adjustment, 2.
To build a knowledge-based decision support system for supporting
government R&D budget planning.
