大專學生尋路能力影響因子之研究

Abstract

尋路行為的進行受到尋路策略之使用、方向感知、路徑記憶能力信心、及尋路焦慮感程度所影響。本研究透過尋路行為意向量表之建立，發展尋路能力之量測指標，並配合不同之尋路情境對大專學生進行問卷調查，除可了解受測者在尋路時心理狀態的差異外，更可檢視不同道路環境所產生之影響效果。本研究透過資料收集並利用試題反應理論(Item Response Theory; IRT)的羅許模式(Rasch model)進行分析，量測試題難度與大專學生尋路之心理狀態。本研究之理論探討與調查結果，除可了解受測者尋路時所遭遇的困難，亦可提供尋路協助的設計參考，輔助民眾講解路線與理解道路資訊。

One’s way finding process is affected by his way-finding strategies chosen, sense of direction, the faculty of route memory, and the way-finding anxiety. This study is conducted to design a questionnaire to measure the way-finding abilities of college students, and apply different road environments to explore how they affect students’ way-finding. The Rasch model of item response theory (IRT) is applied to estimate the parameters of item difficulties and persons’ way finding abilities. The study results will not only provide the information about how the people are suffering from finding their ways when seeking their destinations, but also help the engineers to guide the road users with appropriate information and facilities.
