Summary
For further popularization and realization of UD
We promote Universal Design ("UD") by sharing information and encouraging theme studies beyond the framework of industry and business, by execution through project development, through assessment, and by transmitting information. In addition, we place importance on dialogue with consumers in all of our activities. Through such activities centering on consumers, we seek the improvement in quality and sophistication of UD through further popularization and realization of it.
Studies
We carry out activities that will lead to the establishment of the foundation for the development of UD-related projects seeking to establish the targets in promoting universal design, to generalize the concepts of UD, share the knowledge and information on and awareness regarding UD among the members and consumers, and to make necessary standardization and regularization for consumers and companies.
Development of projects
We establish a system in which we are able to carry out joint development and joint research on model cases beyond the framework of industry and business, seeking to manufacture products and create a social environment placing importance on the people-centered way of thinking, respecting the humanity of each person. We take into account not only the products and services that are related to UD, but also the elements that influences the way we live, including creating the environment, how we spend the leisure time, inheritance of culture, and education.
We establish Research & Development Planning Division, and we establish project teams for each theme for the joint development and joint research on model cases as "independent projects." We develop projects and carry out joint research as independent projects on such themes.
In order to carry out development of businesses, we also establish Certificate Committee and Publication Committee.
Providing information on the results of the activities
We provide information on the activities of the Association, promote awareness and deepen the understanding on UD, and hold various events and manage the website in order to provide a place to elicit the opinions from the consumers and to reestablish the relationships between the manufacturers and the users.
We establish Information Exchange Center and Promotion Committee to promote the provision of information on the results of the activities.
