Abstract
In this research, physically handicapped people who use social mobility support systems are classified into five groups according to their physical abilities. We examine whether the mobility support system chosen by each user is suitable for his particular physical abilities. It has been examined whether these clusters are related to the chosen system and it's been shown that these clusters and choice of the system mostly coincide, as we've presupposed. However, some people choose systems which don't correspond to their cluster. In order to take systems more effectively, it is necessary to improve the criteria and the level of service.
