ANALYSIS OF EVALUATION INDICATORS FOR THE FRIENDLINESS OF SPORTS VENUES TO INDIVIDUALS WITH LOWER LIMB DISABILITIES

This study investigates the accessibility and inclusivity of sports venues for individuals with lower limb disabilities, aiming to identify key factors that enhance participation and usability. Utilizing the Delphi method and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the study constructs a framework comprising six evaluation dimensions and 24 indicators, including safety and availability of assistive devices, operability and accessibility, comfort and participation, psychological and social inclusion, activity diversity and cost-effectiveness, and long-term sustainability and scalability. Results indicate that "safety and availability of assistive devices" and "operability and accessibility" are the most critical dimensions, emphasizing the importance of accessible infrastructure and equipment. "Comfort and participation" and "psychological and social inclusion" also significantly influence participation, while "activity diversity and cost-effectiveness" and "long-term sustainability and scalability" are comparatively less crucial. The findings provide strategic insights for venue design and policy, highlighting the need to prioritize accessible environments and inclusive practices to promote greater sports participation among individuals with lower limb disabilities.
