"Do Not Take the Red Path"... Ulsan City Creates 'Barrier-Free Guide Map'

Guaranteeing Mobility Rights for Wheelchair Users and Elderly Pedestrians

Three Levels of Walking Difficulty Classified by Three Colors

‘Red Light for Wheelchair Passage!’ A map for citizens facing difficulties in walking has been released in Ulsan.

On the 6th, Ulsan City announced that it has created the ‘Daewangam Park Barrier-Free Tourism Guide Map’ to guarantee the mobility rights of ‘walking vulnerable groups,’ ensure convenience for visitors, and secure safety.

This map differs from existing tourist maps by categorizing the difficulty level of walking on each passage into three stages.

Sections where movement is possible without walking assistance are marked in blue, caution sections requiring walking assistance are marked in orange, and sections where wheelchair passage is not possible are marked in red.

To provide accurate information, the map was created through on-site inspections using walking aids such as wheelchairs. Joint inspections were also conducted with Ulsan City, Dong-gu District, and the Ulsan Association of Persons with Physical Disabilities.

For visitor convenience, pictograms and illustrations were used to indicate convenience facilities and tourist attractions, and by recognizing the QR code at the top of the map, users can easily access tourism information by connecting to the Daewangam Park website.

An official from Ulsan City said, “We created the barrier-free tourism guide map to guarantee the mobility rights of walking vulnerable groups such as persons with disabilities, the elderly, pregnant women, and guardians with infants, and to promote a culture of respecting human rights in daily life. Starting with Daewangam Park, we plan to produce maps for major tourist sites in our city on an annual basis.”

This map will be posted on Ulsan City’s official website, Ulsan Tourism website, and Daewangam Park website, and distributed to related organizations for promotion.
