Abstract

This research focuses on movement on foot and is based on the convenience and safety of pedestrians in an aging society. It especially concerns itself with dimensions of gradients in pedestrian areas. The research showed the upper limits on gradients at pedestrian areas and limits on the lengths of these inclines.<br>The results showed that the gradients at pedestrian areas which can be comfortably negotiated by wheelchair users should not exceed 5%, and that the maximum length of slopes in sectors with 5% gradients which would allow stable movement was 25m.
