Although Busan-Gyeongnam is a region with a high influx of tourists, the existing design of public facilities in urban railway systems has been primarily developed for general Korean users. Consequently, foreign tourists and transportation-vulnerable individuals often face inconvenience due to differences in language, culture, and physical abilities. In particular, the lack of consistency in the signage system and unclear foreignlanguage labeling have intensified confusion in wayfinding. Accordingly, this study aims to apply the seven principles of universal design to diagnose the current state of guidance design and public facilities at Busan- Gyeongnam KTX stations, and to propose integrated system design standards that ensure all users can access and use these spaces safely and conveniently. As part of the research process, the study examined the signage systems and the installation status of accessibility facilities for transportation-vulnerable users in key areas such as station entrances, concourses, and platforms of the Busan urban metro. In particular, the study focused on analyzing, from the perspective of universal design, the appropriateness of multilingual labeling, potential confusion in line color symbolism, and problems related to the placement and construction of guidance facilities. Based on the results of the current condition analysis and the integration of universal design principles, this study presents improvement strategies for signage systems and public facilities that consider the movement scenarios of foreign tourists. Ultimately, this research contributes to establishing a sustainable design environment in which urban railway stations, as public spaces, embrace the diversity of all users.
