Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: In this paper, I considered the approach of accessible environments for people with visual impairments by reviewing previous research. First, I summarized previous research on visual factor and mobility in people with low vision, and it was indicated that it was important to cooperate with the medical field. Furthermore, I summarized previous research on between spatial cognition and mobility of blind people, and cleared the relationship between spatial cognition ability and mobility performance. Based on these discussions, it was indicated that evidence based development and improvement of pedestrian environments for people with visual impairment were important.
