Abstract(in English) In this report, we investigate how the universal design concept is realised in a real situation, and show certain approaches to an effective designing. In the first part of the report, we consider certain devices and services from the point of universal design principle, that are used in everyday life such as microwave ovens, lifts, film, vending machines, and fire escapes. In the second part, we show two approaches to realisation of universal design: Introduction of a set of devices for groups of users instead of a single device for everyone; Design method that consider use situations including physical and human environments, and social system.
