Abstract

In this paper, we examine how university students with visual impairments walk in the campuses, what clues they use, and relationship between visual performance and walking strategy Eight university students with visual impairments were instructed to walk independently in their university campuses, and to verbalize whatever they thought and felt. Every movements and comments were recorded. The results are as follows; 1) There was difference in the selection of clues according to the visual ability. 2) Some clues were used by almost all the subjects. 3) Two frameworks of environmental cognition were found. 4) More adequate way of planning was needed for the tactile tiles for visually impaired.
