Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We have developed the AHP-GIS-based travel assist system for the visually impaired of especially the 40% who are almost staying home (Hikikomori). The Hikikomori visually impaired people have low self-efficacy on travel because their guide helpers in traveling lead them to the destination safely. Then, it is few for the Hikikomori visually impaired to have opportunity of self-determination on travel. The visually impaired should decide, or advise equally the guide helper, when determining the travel route. This system developed tends to assist the self-determination of the Hikikomori visually impaired. In this report, we suggest that, in the AHP or the decision-making process of the system, a relative position measurement approach should be available in comparison with the other approaches.
