Calling for the Submission of Papers on

Special Feature of IATSS RESEARCH Vol.25, No.1 (Spring 2001)
Transportation for Handicapped People: Barrier-Free

It has become one of the focuses of our society to establish the
barrier-free surroundings, which will enable everybody, including
handicapped people, to enjoy a safe and fulfilling life. To realize a
barrier-free society, it is crucial to incorporate the barrier-free concept
in the planning and design of public spaces. Especially, a barrier-free
transportation system becomes more important for the disabled to
participate in solving the problems regarding their needs, since the aged
and infirm are often restricted in their mobility by physical
considerations. This IATSS Research feature focuses on a barrier-free in
the traffic environment from various traffic aspect, such as public
transport facilities, mobility support systems, transport policies, etc,
which will enable all people to move safely and comfortably.
