National Human Rights Commission of the Republic of Korea Minister also announced that the evaluation on the use of physical restriction measures, and the appropriateness of confinement and constraint imposition would be included in certificating medical institutions from January 2015, while ensuring the proper use of such measures in medical institutions through monitoring. C. Recommendation concerning Seats for Persons with Disabilities to Ensure their Right to Culture Pursuant to Article 2, Attached Form 1-20 A of the Enforcement Regulations of the Act on the Guarantee of the Promotion of Convenience of the Disabled, the Aged, Pregnant Women, etc., seats or cubicle areas, which are wheelchair accessible in a theater or concert hall should be placed where they are easily accessible to exit or evacuation passages. However, the above provision does not include whether or not such wheelchair seats should have a proper view of the stage or screen or whether a companion not confined to a wheelchair can sit by their side. In response to several complaints about this issue filed to the Commission, it reviewed similar provisions in the U.S. and Germany and relevant surveys of civil society organizations. It also made on-site investigations of theaters and concert halls with wheelchair accessible seats. Based on the review, the Commission recommended the Minister of Health and Welfare to revise the provision about seats for persons with disabilities to say, “Seats or cubicle areas for wheelchair users should be placed where the user has the equal view of the stage or screen with the rest audience and can sit with his or her companion. The location should be easily accessible to exit or evacuation passages” on June 2, 2014. The Minister accepted the recommendation and agreed to revise the Enforcement Decree of the Act on the Guarantee of the Promotion of Convenience of the Disabled, the Aged, Chapter 1.
