SPATIAL COGNITION OF VISUALLY HANDICAPPED PEOPLE ON A SPIRAL RAMP
視覚障害者の螺旋スロープ昇降における空間把握に関する研究
Spatial cognition of visually handicapped people has clarified and walking environment for them has been improved. However, the pedestrian spaces of present condition are still highly constrained for them. A spiral ramp is one of them. Therefore, the authors surveyed the spatial cognition of visually handicapped people on a spiral ramp. In this study, in order to clarify the characteristics of their spatial cognition and search behavior, experiments were carried out in 14 kinds of courses on a spiral ramp. Subjects were visually handicapped people and eye-masked people with ordinary vision. The search behavior of the two is compared and analyzed by walking locus and observation; and the spatial cognition, by interview and observation.
