Abstract
People with physical and psychological disabilities and the elderly over the age of 65 in Taiwan account for 15 % of the total population. Taiwan is an aging society, and whether the disabled, the elderly, children and women are able to safely use the facilities in various spaces is an issue worthy of attention. According to a literature review, this study investigated the classification of needs for barrier-free environments and regulations in applicable laws and decrees. This study collected information on the current status of the installation of barrier-free facilities at Taiwan Railway stations, and proposed relevant suggestions for improvement in order to establish a barrier-free environment that facilitates the use by citizens in Taiwan.
