For the purpose of obtaining the fundamental data for the safe and proper walking project for the Visually handicapped person, I inuestigated the actual condittions in their going out, the landmark for walking etc, by mainly records in raised type, and reported the outcome according to their degree or age.
The report proves that the visually handicap puts limits to their walking and that their scope of walking and activity is more narrowly limited than the normals.
Many visually handicapped people go out three or four times a month, chiefly for shopping, and the majority of them use a cane as the means for walking.
walking project for the Visually handicapped person, I inuestigated the actual condittions in their going out, the landmark for walking etc, by mainly records in raised type, and reported the outcome according to their degree or age.
Though buses or trains are used as transportions in a great degree and wolking follorus them, the rate of walking is also high.
Much are given to them from different information in circumstancen as useful landmark for walking. The information by the sense of touch is more than 50 percent of all, and be cause it is more reliable than that by any other senses, it is used as the most important landmark.
