摘要: 用路人族群中,行人为相对弱势,老人与肢体障碍者相较于一般行人,由于其生理条件较一般行人差,故在用路时拥有更高的风险。自1993年至2003年间,老人与肢体障碍者呈现稳定成长。而医疗用电动代步车是针对无法独立依靠自身能力行动,且有相当操控能力的使用者而设计的,主要为代替双脚的行走功能,老人以及肢体障碍者,为此类行动辅具的主要使用者。然而目前并无适合的监理制度,专门针对医疗用电动代步车做管理。民众用路观念错误,且医疗用电动代步车对于行动不便者之便利性远高于其他残障者运具,故目前过度使用的状况严重。且医疗用电动代步车速度远慢于道路上车辆,在道路上行驶对于车辆以及自身皆有极大危险。本研究由行为的观点来进行研究,跳脱以往只考虑车对人的安全设计,进一步扩展至对于人车的使用意向。本研究以实地访问的方式,整理出目前医疗用电动代步车使用者外出行为的现况。并以结构方程模式进行路径分析,以LISREL软体为工具,进一步探究影响使用者意向之因素。结果显示影响医疗用电动代步车使用者使用代步车外出意向之构面中,家庭成员干预构面之影响最深。结构方程式显示家人的劝阻会显着抑制使用代步车外出的意向。影响次强的是心理状态构面。本研究出于关怀弱势用路人之观点,透过分析其行为模式,以作为政府为此类使用者制定政策之依据。
The elderly and the disabled people’s biomechanics are worse than normal people, so they are under higher risks when traveling on the road. Since 1993, the numbers of elderly and disabled people have increased tremendously. The Medical powered scooter is designed for those users who have basic ability of controlling, but not able to move on their own. The scooter’s core duty is to help people move around places, so elderly and disabled people are the main user of this kind of vehicle. So far, there is no suitable management system for the medical powered scooter. Because the scooter is more convenient than other assistance devices for traveling, the scooter has been heavily used by elderly and disabled people nowadays. It is also very dangerous to drive the medical scooter on the road, because the speed is much slower than other vehicles, thereby increasing the risks of both scooter users and other drivers. This study focuses on the user’s usual activities, which is different from the studies of the assistance device’s safety design. It involves the medical powered scooter user’s travel activities by interview, and then proceeds the path analyzing with SEM, LISREL software, to figure out the measure which effects user’s intentions. The result shows that the measure of family member effecting has most powerful influence to user’s intention. The measure of psychology is the second one. Some concerns about the medical powered scooter users are explored in this study, and it is expected to establish the policies and regulations in the near future for the usage of medical powered scooters.
