The barrier-free living environment(BF) will continue to expand in the future due to the increase in the elderly population and the expansion of social diversity. Experts related to BF certification say that although BF certification has been mandatory for public buildings since 2015, problems in the BF certification process require many systems. The creation of Barrier Free environment is expected to expand not only to buildings but also to streets and parks in the future. To this end, it is necessary to re-establish the current BF certification system as a concrete and predictable design guideline, as well as to spread consensus that it is aimed at creating a convenient living environment that everyone can enjoy together, breaking away from being simply recognized as a regulation. This requires preliminary certification, improvement of certification procedures represented by the current BF certification process, establishment of the rating and qualification of certification personnel, and maintenance of the certification system itself. This study can expect to play a role as the basis for improving this BF certification system.
