A study on the tour guide signs focused present state of Pyeongchang-gun and to induce some suggestions.

This study aims to investigate the present state of tour guide signs and induce some useful suggestions centered on Pyeongchang-gun. For this we have observed and investigated tour guide signs established around the streets of Pyeongchang-gun. We drew some evaluation categories from the preceding studies and related guides. Those categories are composed of component, mark factor, and manufacturing and installation. As a result of our observation and investigation of the tour guide signs of Pyeongchang-gun, some problems are revealed in the aspect of component such as excess of draft, confusion of distance informations, missing of arrows, omission of guide informations. In the aspect of mark factor, some problems are found such as error or incongruence of symbols, and insufficiency of readability. Finally, in the aspect of manufacturing and installation, insufficient maintenance, too much installation, lack of harmony with surroundings, and of consideration for human body are revealed. It’s been concluded that these problems should be improved immediately. For this, total investigation of tour guide signs needs to be made. And after constructing DB about them, some efforts should be made to improve problems systematically. Also, we need to make guideline of tour guide signs appropriate to local characteristics, and develop new designs of tour guide signs, and install them.
