Students with mobility impairments have the right to move independently throughout university campuses. This study presents a model to evaluate routes based on accessibility criteria to determine the ...most suitable paths for disabled individuals navigating a university. First, the main factors of accessible mobility were determined and rated by students with physical disabilities. Within this context, this study used the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to weight criteria and route alternatives. İnönü University was selected for quantifying the path network of its campus by physically handicapped students. Three main campus routes were evaluated to find the most accessible route for students. Based on the results, among ten key factors, ramp slope and paving are the most important. Furthermore, on-site analyses demonstrated the accuracy of the AHP method for this research. Contributions of the study include a model for determining the optimal route with the fewest physical obstacles to facilitate disabled individuals' daily movement.
Gibalno ovirani študenti imajo pravico, da se samostojno gibajo po celotnem območju kampusa. Avtorice v članku predstavljajo model vrednotenja poti, ki temelji na kriterijih dostopnosti in omogoča, ...da se v univerzitetnem kampusu določijo najustreznejše poti za invalidne osebe. Najprej so glavne dejavnike dostopne mobilnosti določili in ovrednotili gibalno ovirani študenti, nato pa so avtorice z metodo analitičnega hierarhičnega procesa določile uteži kriterijem in alternativam poti. Študenti so ovrednotili mrežo poti v kampusu univerze İnönü, ki so ga avtorice izbrale za raziskavo, pri čemer so ocenili tudi dostopnost treh glavnih poti v kampusu. Izsledki so pokazali, da sta med desetimi ključnimi kriteriji najpomembnejša naklon klančin in vrsta tlaka. Avtorice so s terensko analizo po trdile pravilnost rezultatov, pridobljenih z metodo analitičnega hierarhičnega procesa. Na podlagi izsledkov so oblikovale model določanja optimalne poti s čim manj ovirami za čim lažje vsakodnevno gibanje invalidnih oseb.
