ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between urban built environment factors and the travel behaviours of visually impaired people. Using mobile phone data containing information on the movements of people with visual impairment, the association between their traffic volume and the built environment factors of land uses, public transit, and pedestrian facilities for visually impaired people were analysed. The results indicated that some of the urban built environment factors were significantly associated with the travel of people with visual impairments. The model results showed that the associations between their traffic volume and the factors of pedestrian infrastructure for visually impaired people were much higher than the association with all other factors considered in the analysis. Commercial, civic, and cultural uses were also significantly related to their traffic volume. Proximity to the subway was positively associated with an increase in the traffic volume of people with visual impairments. The current study contributes to the ongoing discussion on the mobility of people with disabilities by taking afirst step towards constructing amethod whereby mobile phone data can be utilised to examine the relationship between the built environment and the travel patterns of visually impaired people.

城市建成环境与视障人士出行：基于手机数据的出行行为分析

摘要 本研究的目的是考察城市建成环境因素与视障人士出行行为之间的关系。使用包含视障人士移动信息的手机数据，分析了他们的交通量与视障人士的土地利用、公共交通和步行设施等建成环境因素之间的关联。结果表明，部分城市建成环境因素与视障人士的出行显着相关。模型结果表明，他们的交通量与视障人士行人基础设施因素之间的关联远高于与分析中考虑的所有其他因素的关联。商业、民用、文化用途也与其交通量显着相关。靠近地铁与视力障碍者的交通量增加呈正相关。本研究迈出了第一步，构建了一种方法，利用该方法可以利用移动电话数据来检查建筑环境与视障人士的出行方式之间的关系，从而为正在进行的关于残疾人流动性的讨论做出了贡献。
